I'm not so sure that 3rd grade is too early to figure it out.

I'm no expert in transgender or bi or gay development, but I know what it's like to be attracted to someone.

I had the beginning stages of a crush on a girl in kindergarten, and it became a stronger crush as grade school progressed. I wasn't old enough to have the sexual feelings behind the crush, but I knew she was special and I liked her in a different way than I liked other girls. By third grade it was a strong enough crush to know I liked girls, and not boys.

My daughter in second grade had a crush on an older boy.
