During a promotional book tour interview with transgender actor Tommy Dorfman, the cast of Tuesday's CBS Mornings actually argued that three-year-old boys can be informed enough to know they are actually girls.
Co-host Gayle King observed, “But you write very powerfully you knew at an early age of three, you said, ‘I knew I was a girl. I knew that I was different than other people’ and you always felt wise beyond your years. The journey to go from there to here.”
Dorfman replied that, “I had parents who always called me—I mean, my mom used to call me her little old man, which was really cute and now I’m just, I guess, her older, older woman. But I think, you know, for me, I knew that I gravitated towards the feminine at an early age. I connected deeper with my girl cousins. I connected more with my mother in a lot of ways, and I also was a daddy's girl at the same time. And all of my interests leaned into the feminine and I had parents who were so loving and caring and let me express that part of myself without necessarily understanding that part of myself.”
Three-year-olds can’t even count to ten, but CBS wants you to believe they can definitively say they were born into the wrong body.
Nevertheless, co-host Nate Burleson later wondered, "You mentioned sober and your sobriety. You talk about addiction very transparently and oftentimes they say addiction kinda overlaps this desire to have control. Do you believe transitioning, did that offer you kind of a new agency over your body and over your life?”
On the one hand, Dorfman answered, “A hundred percent,” but on the other added, “I think even when I got sober at 21, I didn't start transitioning until I was 28. I think these things are really separate. Me being an addict and alcoholic and in recovery is so separate from me being trans and me being a woman and coming to that space in my adulthood.”
However, Dorfman also claimed, “What I'll say is I wouldn't be the woman I am today if I wasn't sober. I don't think I would have had the confidence, the clarity, the spiritual, you know, relationship with God and a higher power to find myself and be honest with myself.”
God created the physical world, including human beings, and He, by definition, cannot make mistakes. Yet, here is CBS, invoking Him to actually justify the idea that three-year-olds know better than Him.
Here is a transcript for the May 27 show:

DORFMAN: Yeah, I had parents who always called me—I mean, my mom used to call me her little old man, which was really cute—
KING: Yes.
DORFMAN: —and now I’m just, I guess, her older, older woman. But I think, you know, for me, I knew that I gravitated towards the feminine at an early age. I connected deeper with my girl cousins. I connected more with my mother in a lot of ways, and I also was a daddy's girl at the same time. And all of my interests leaned into the feminine and I had parents who were so loving and caring and let me express that part of myself without necessarily understanding that part of myself.

NATE BURLESON: So, let's tie that in with, you mentioned sober and your sobriety.
DORFMAN: Yeah.
BURLESON: You talk about addiction very transparently and oftentimes they say addiction kinda overlaps this desire to have control. Do you believe transitioning, did that offer you kind of a new agency over your body and over your life?
DORFMAN: A hundred percent. I think even when I got sober at 21, I didn't start transitioning until I was 28. I think these things are really separate. Me being an addict and alcoholic and in recovery is so separate from me being trans and me being a woman and coming to that space in my adulthood. What I'll say is I wouldn't be the woman I am today if I wasn't sober. I don't think I would have had the confidence, the clarity, the spiritual, you know, relationship with God and a higher power to find myself and be honest with myself.
