No. What is the point of introducing it so early when there's no necessity for it? I much rather my kid studies physics, astronomy, animals, etc.

No unless I knew someone that was trans. Think I would also want to view the content first having seen this subject in the media today. The only social stories we’ve done was regarding starting school anyway.

If my child were to pick it up, and ask questions about it etc, then yes. But if she shows zero interest, I wouldn't force the subject

Same as the above really. I think, to me, there are more important things for my child to learn about. If I was asked i would probably just say it’s how they choose to express themselves and leave it at that until the child is older. I’d teach them about different family dynamics and such but detailed specifics I think can wait

Yes, we have friends and family members who are trans (including my brother's partner, who he plans to marry). Reading about trans experiences might help my daughter understand them better. I'd probably only introduce these books if she had questions, though. We're planning on homeschooling, so she won't see them at a school library.
For those who said no, will you introduce it eventually to them if they show interest?

I would say no as children can be impressionable. However if they show interest later on then yes of course.
