A concerned mother writes to Aunt and Uncle Agony this week asking whether she should pull her children out of daycare because a caregiver is transgender. It comes as a Swedish preschool goes gender-free, banning gender pronouns with staff avoiding using words such as "him" or "her" - food for thought as we consider today's dilemma.

I'm a mother of three children, twin boys who are turning three this year and my four-year-old son. As I work full time, my twins are in daycare and the eldest goes to kindy, then daycare after. It's a great daycare centre and the boys all love it. However, I recently found out something very disturbing about one of the women who works there. A friend of a friend knows her and knows that she used to be a he (and I did some digging online to confirm after I found out).
