The money has no intrinsic value, the Oreos have real intrinsic value. It seems to me the child is making the best choice here. What case is trying to be made?
I don't think there are many children that would "choose" a gender other than the one they are born with without prompting. Lots and lots of prompting:
"Are you sure you want to remain a boy? Tommy has decided to become a girl, and Tommy is the coolest kid in class."
"You can be anything you want, you can play with these overly sexualized child's dolls we call Barbie. You can still play with your GI Joes, just call them all 'Ken'"
"If you choose to become a girl, we'll give you this stack of Oreos!"
If you just let a child choose who they are without trying to shove it down their throats (brainwashing), children will just be themselves. The problem is not in letting children choose who they want to be, the problem is in believing that the adults have it figured out over the children. In the case of the video in the OP we think the child isn't getting it. It is the adult who isn't getting it. The child fully understands what has real value. It is the adult who has been brainwashed to believe the Illusion is true.
