So then don't have the conversation. You are the parent. You can certainly shut down any questions your kid has or indoctrinate your kid in whatever manner you see fit.
And if you don't want to shut your kid down, on the minimal chance your kids asks about a they/them pronoun, you could simply say "Some people like to be called by different things." And if the kid says "Why?" You can simply and truthfully give the answer most can give: "I don't know. I don't really understand."
Nah, I won't lie to my kids by saying I don't understand it. It is indoctrination and the path to brainwashing (as harmless as pronoun selection may seem). There is a time and place to have that conversation and would prefer they are much older when it takes place. Most kids understand the definition of boy and girl based on their reproductive organs (I wouldn't call sticking to that definition indoctrination as it has pretty much been the standard definition, for I don't know, probably a few thousand years).
Anyway, very curious to see how Barry will respond. Left him a few questions above.
