Answer

, B, and C are all actions that would make the Bear's Den more affirming for Cubby and other gender-creative youth. D is not an appropriate response, as it places the onus on Cubby to change rather than addressing the systemic issues at the community center. Therefore, choosing a different group for Cubby would be harmful and not supportive.
