Ohhhhh boy....

Gender identity is separate from sexual or romantic orientation.
Why not have kids ask questions and learn things?
Why are two teens flirting at a Carnival (apparently!) ok but a genderless robot acknowledging their genderlessness is not? The others Maltobots made choices how to present themselves, why deny Nightshade agency?
To appease bigots? **** that.
If a child can understand "boy" and "girl" then they can understand "nonbinary." In fact, kids are probably more likely to get the concept as they haven't had decades to galvanize old (and antiquated) gender norms in their minds, where everything has to fall into group M or group F, and those groups have very rigid (and untrue) definitions.
Also kids ask questions they're too young to know the answer to all the time, dealing with that is part of parenting. It's why we have the story of the stork and why the phrase "Ask again when you're older" is a cliche. Suddenly because it's something you're uncomfortable with it's now a big crisis that has to be censored, instead of making parents actually, you know, parent.

Based on what the people who find it difficult say when they give any detail at all, I'd go even farther than that.
Teaching oversimplifications and then not discussing any nuance for years afterward directly contributes to people incorrectly seeing the oversimplifications as absolutes.
If that side of the conversation ends where it is, then it is fine. Any further dive into the topic should be taken to P&R though.
So this morning Nick Roche posted that he was working on something Earthspark and someone asked if it was something for Season 2 and his response was:
x.com
"Cannot confirm which season I'm working on... !"
Which is sorta suspicious given he's 1) a character designer and 2) Season 2 is almost certainly well into animation if not completely done by this point.
Who knows, maybe it's innocuous, just him doing some prints or something on his own, definitely can see that, but the not saying what season?
-ZacWilliam, just a... hmm... moment...

That's also peculiar considering just a few weeks ago, it was reported Earthspark wasn't going to continue beyond the (likely) dozen or so episodes left to complete the 26 episode season run.
Movie finale, maybe? Paramount seems to like those.

That exclamation point at the end also sounds like he's pretty excited for what this might be.
Yeah, I could see then turn preliminary plans for a S3 (especially if S2 ends with a cliffhanger) into a single non-theatrical movie or small miniseries. Especially if they think they can coast off of good vibes from TF One.
So, like Predacons Rising.
