You do realize that "girly" behaviors and toy preference have nothing to do with sexual preference right? You're discussion gender stereotypes, and maybe gender identification on the far end of the spectrum, not sexual preference (ie. "gayness")


You are assuming I'm looking at it through a very narrow window. If an otherwise normal boy picked up a doll for 5 seconds it doesn't automatically mean he will be gay (not that there's anything wrong with that), but if has liked barbies for a while now and has many, asks for more dolls, cries for girl toys, acts feminine and dramatic, plays only with girls because they like the same things, goes to princess movies and watches princess shows, etc he will surely be gay.


You do know that there is a difference between gay and transgender, right? And that gender modeling has nothing to do with sexual preference?

Can you even eliminate with your head that far up your own behind?

I don't believe in that transgender/trapped in the wrong body thing. I am fine with gay but I think "transgender" is just the new thing of the month, like Kabbalah was a few years ago.

NP here. We need less people like you in the world. Please go away.

That's completely inaccurate.

I was playing with baby dolls and Barbies my entire childhood. Guess who is a gold star lesbian?



You're Gold Star? How old are you? I'm 49 and still holding at Silver...

Yes, but was Ken involved? Or was he just the sperm donor?

You don't believe in them? Like Santa Claus and the tooth fairy?

I don't believe in them as in people just want attention and to be a special snowflake.

Right, because being transgender attracts ALL the right attention....

We, as humans, try to box things in- if possible into two categories. However, in reality, everything is a spectrum- even sexuality and gender.

Interesting. I'm gay, and I don't remember waking up on my 18th birthday and suddenly realizing it. More like many years of crushes on girls instead of boys, starting in the 3rd grade...

I have a friend who is one of three brothers. He is straight, both brothers are gay. Mom says she "always knew". There was just something different about the gay brothers.

Gay people also often say they always knew they were different. Just didn't understand how until later.

Wow. I'm beginning to understand why other countries ban the gay propaganda. I don't treat gays any differently, but I'd be pissed if my straight boy decided to experiment out of fashion.

what?

God didn't somehow open the skies for you?

so tired of this shit tbh

Who the fuck cares when some kid (or adult) realizes s/he is gay?

What does it matter?

If either of my kids is gay, I'm good. I love them to death now. Why should that change?

That is such a devastatingly dangerous thing to say. Please spend some time educating yourself about gender issues. The suicide rate among transgender people is very high because of exactly this type of attitude.
