[quote=Anonymous]I think that also some of the older, wealthier parents perceive themselves as being more attuned to this stuff and feel like they must run with it the second it presents itself. We have a child who has expressed some confusion about his identity since he was quite small. He may actually be transgender or possibly gay, but we didn't think this was something to indulge at the age of 3 and 4. Now that he's 9, it's died down. When he hits an age of reason and has the capacity to truly internalize and understand all of this, we will support him in whatever he feels he needs to do. What we have a problem is the idea that we have to take very seriously and run around on tenterhooks dealing with a child who insists he's a girl and prefers "girl" things, and we're supposed to completely ignore our other child who insists he's a dog. Experimentation and conflating fantasy with reality is a developmental phase. [/quote]
