“We see it in schools and colleagues from neighborhood clubs tell us about it. boys accept and incorporate a trans child or a boy child of a same-sex couple as a matter of course. What’s more, they consider that everyone should play together, that there should be no separation by gender or sex. And that has to do with Argentina is a forerunner in this fight and with the fact that the children already come without prejudice ”, They explained in the Inadi.
