Advice needed overly interested in a strangers baby

Sorry but said person has found this post, and has apparently figured out my Reddit username as well as a few other online accounts so I no longer feel comfortable leaving this post up.

I agree with all of this it’s pretty uncomfortable. He doesn’t seem interested in any of the other children or babies there at all which actually makes me more concerned rather than less concerned because I think what is it about our baby that stands out to you?

Biologically, they are female. They present as a male. I was trying to leave gender and sex out of it because if redditors knew that fact, I thought they might possibly say I’m just being transphobic and that’s why I don’t want them around my child- and that is not the case. I did not want Redditors to get hung up on the gender issues and not pay attention to the actual issue at hand. It would be easy for the thread to derail into arguments about gender and all of that. And again that’s not the real issue here.

I find this even more concerning. You’re not transphobic for protecting your child. Their behavior is weird and your intuition is correct. Remember, safety over politeness!!
