My daughter wanted to be a boy. She stopped wearing any 'girl' clothes at the age of 10 (even underwear-she wore boxers). She hated puberty, wore bras that de-emphasized her figure, jeans, shorts, t-shirts, played with cars, cut her hair off, walked/talked like a boy...but I refused to call anything boy or girl clothes, boy or girl toys, etc. I did not assign gender to her behavior or attitudes. She was a girl, that meant anything she wore was girl clothes, her toys were girl toys (ninjas, cars, didn't matter) ALL her hobbies were girl hobbies (horror movies, zombie makeup). Guess what? A week before prom night she's asking for makeup tips and help picking out a dress so she can attend prom with her boyfriend. All she needed was real life parental support. She needed (and got) the support that she could do and act however she wanted (It is modern USA after all) and grew up into a confident woman. I would not have cared if she was trans, or gay, but I wanted that to be HER decision, not mine.

My personal view: If you're too young to discuss sex, too young to consent to it, and too early in emotional development to even know reasonably well what you want, then no one should be 'helping' you figure out what orientation or gender identity you are.

Men were encouraged to embrace their feminine side. Movie representations of male heroes went from strong-jawed muscle bound guys like Stallone or Schwarzenegger in the 80's, whose characters often won through brute strength, to less muscular (though still in shape), more quick witted & intelligent characters played by guys like Will Smith or Brad Pitt. Our collective ideas about how things are supposed to be went from Sean Connery's James Bond smacking women around, to Pierce Brosnan's Bond getting his ladies through sheer charisma. We went from the Honeymooners to Everybody Loves Raymond. And all was right with the world. But now, Gender is paramount. And as such, Gender Roles must be reinforced. Men Strong. Women Weak.

If it helps them then what's the big deal, they're not hurting anybody and just want to be happy like aeveryone wants to be. But there is no denying that some trans-people, or more accurate, they're supposed "supporters", tend to go a bit too far. Sadly, when people see that it's not helping the stigma and I'm worried about how this might effect the trans-community in the future. But these supporters... I'm starting to get suspicious of if they really want to help trans-people or just hijacked their movement to paint a bad picture of them... Because many of these weird ideas that are supposedly advocated by the trans-community, aren't really from the trans-community at all. Actually, a lot of trans-people don't agree with these ideas themselves and it mostly comes from the "supporters"... It's weird. Yet it's the trans-people that have to deal with the backlash of it all. But I guess it doesn't help that there are very prominent trans-people who say and do some very questionable things as well. The trans-community isn't very vocal with being against these prominent figures and "supporters" either... It's a mess. I don't envy the trans-people who see things like and think to themselves "Great, as if we needed assholes to get even more ammo to attack us with...". Personally, I don't think there is any reason to hate trans-people as a whole, as long they're law abiding citizens, aren't assholes and don't advocate for bad things.

It’s all really simple actually.

In fact, he argued that denying children the power of sexual consent was “evil and degrading”. He signed a petition in 1977 to legalize doing extremely inappropriate things with children of 13 years and older. A lot of his buddies in that gender studies mumbo-jumbo shared his sentiments. So yeah, that should give you some idea why such people and movements are so OBSESSED with child sexuality and sexualization - you don’t really go so deep into topics that don’t pose a very particular personal interest to you.

@@basil9751 I’m sorry, but gender and sex are the same. Look at the word gender. It shares the same root as generation, genesis, generosity, and genitals. Gen is a Greek root which means “produced, born, or race”. Your gender is directly expressed by your genitals, which the doctor, having delivered you, looks at to say “it’s a boy,” or “it’s a girl.” Your gender is intrinsically related to your role in generating the next generation via your genitalia lol. Masculinity and femininity, on the other hand, are both present in each person in different proportions. This is where “gender norms” as functions in society comes in, and that’s a whole other discussion. However, generally speaking, it’s a mother’s intuition to be more nurturing, and a father’s to be more commanding (not necessarily aggressive, but as a leader). It obviously ain’t so cut and dry, though, because the human race is so beautifully diverse! In truth, you’re no less a boy for liking “girly” things and no less a girl for liking “boy” stuff! Plus, we are SO much more than our sexual attractions, and choosing to identify yourself with that small aspect of your psyche leaves so much behind! You’re a unique, lovely, loved human being whose life is sacred! Nevertheless, rejecting the truth of who you are can only hurt you…I don’t expect you to jump into your life’s story (unless you want to share a bit, I’ll listen), but I wonder when it is that you began to think about gender fluidity and why?

My sister has a toddler boy and infant girl, she purposely lives very sheltered life. I sent her screenshots of this after Sydney's IG post. Her responses were "that's not real" "it can't be" "that's f-ing sick".

Your sister may be "sheltered", but I say she has common-sense and values that should be universal. At least two kids in this world will become healthy, normal people thanks to her.

When I was 5 I believed I'm an angel who would grow wings and fly to safety when I'm in danger, like falling off a tall building. I almost jumped off a 7-storey apartment if my neighbour hadn't caught me in time. I don't think a kid who would jump off a tall building to see if she could grow wings is mature enough to decide something (like her gender) that is going to affect the rest of her life.

as a transgender person: a young child can identify as the gender they are. however, anything that can’t be undone (like surgery) should not be performed until adulthood. additionally, a parent should be fully understanding of the child’s gender, as in the child being old enough to speak and having multiple conversations about whether the child is transgender or just being enforced by gender norms. if a child is sure of their gender then it is harming no one for them to be accepted as the gender they are.

I do a shift at a preschool (kindergarten) everyday during my gap year. One of the kids there (who is a boy) has long hair. At first all the other kids referred to him as a girl and for a while he believed it... Just to show how impressionable they are. There is also another kid that thought that the word for girl was Sylvanna because that's the name of the teacher. Kids don't really know what they're saying and thus making these decisions on behalf of them is absolutely crazy.

My brother loved to wear my dresses when he was like 4-7, I was his only sibling, a girl and he admired me, he just liked to copy me and it was fun for him. Then it passed, now he is a boy who dresses like a boy and who likes being a boy and who likes girls. Imagine we enforced him the idea that he wanted to be a girl, what would have happened. I just think kids can’t make that decision, they are kids, they have fun, they make mistakes, they want to try things. And they are extremely vulnerable, they will likely do and believe everything you say to them because they think as parents you are always right, you are the heros

lol, I remember being 7 years old and wishing so badly I was a boy. You know why? Cause it meant that Santa might be more likely to bring me Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toys for Christmas.

My Dad left when I was 5; I wanted to be a boy so I could be the man of the family and take better care of my Mama. My family held the view that God made us just exactly who He wanted us to be, and I learned that I was perfectly capable of doing what needed to get done in spite of not being a boy😂

trans teenager here. wont say my age, but im older than sixteen and younger than twenty one. hot take - i didnt realize i was trans until i started going thru puberty and realized just how uncomfortable it made me. on a much much deeper level to the temporary anxiety about adjusting to the new changes that everyone else had. i feel like kids dont really grasp that gender really exists when theyre that young? or at least that “sex” (in reference to body parts) does. when i was small i simply didnt care and just wore whatever was put on me. i feel like im not smart or old enough yet to offer a truly good retrospective on this conversation - but please dont panic too much about this if youre a parent. from what ive seen these antics only come from a very tiny vocal minority and in reality most trans people are incredibly open minded and have many radically different views on gender to eachother. i dont know - for me my experience of gender is a lot more complicated than just “girls clothes” and “boys clothes”. feel free to disagree with me, thats just my opinion (edit: another point to add: it does genuinely stress me out that some people will only ever equate transness with… whatever you call this stuff. i feel like it hinders the productive conversation about our rights as a group and just leads more people down a rabbit hole of transphobia. call me transphobic if you want i just dont feel like a kid should be medically transitioning in any way until theyve experienced more of the world)

[@kanushka76]

You may as well decide to enjoy all the good things that come with it.” She said “aww! Ok. Boys get to have all the fun, though!” And that was it. She had just wanted to play with the boys on the playground. That was all, never came up again. She’s now a very happy and well developed 19 year old....I shudder to think what hell she’d be living right now if I were a far left liberal nutcase.

I'd have been mortified three or so years down the line when I felt more comfortable in my skin. One of the reasons being a kid is so special is that they live entirely in the moment, they don't think about the future in any serious way, and it's one of the reasons they need protecting from any huge decision until they are - I'd say - 21+.
