he remembers feeling in-between genders as early as preschool.
I work in kindergarten. You can give boy a pink bowl/mug and he will say that he is now a girl, not because he is 'genderfluid' but because such things are funny to 4 year olds.
Sometimes I wonder how many boys in western countries were chemically castrated because their teacher gave them a wrong cup
Why? It's the most woman-dominated field in the world, it must be utter torture to do it every day.
I can agree that female preschool teachers can be fkn annoying and the fact that every document I have to sign and which treats me like a woman is beyond degrading (in polish almost every verb is gendered; most documents created for preschool teachers simply don't have space for male verbs or pronouns) but thanks to me some kids have a fatherly figure for the first time in their young lives. I might suffer from time to time, but the knowledge that those kids will have a better future makes it all worthwhile in the end.
Edit: Thank you guys for all your kind comments. It's rare for me to hear a compliment and your comments gave me energy to keep going.

If it makes you feel better, the mothers were just looking for any excuse.
