Children exhibiting nonconforming behavior face pressure from peers to fit into the dominant gender binary.

Children who exhibit nonconforming behavior, such as playing with toys traditionally associated with the opposite gender or expressing a gender identity that does not align with the sex they were assigned at birth, often face pressure from their peers to conform to the dominant gender binary. This can lead to bullying and exclusion, which can have negative effects on their mental health and well-being. It is important for adults to create safe and supportive environments for gender nonconforming children, where they can express themselves without fear of discrimination or rejection.
