[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is so absurd.  Are a bunch of girls (kids?) identifying as LGBT when they're just cishet girls?  Who knows.  If they are, it really doesn't matter because they'll figure out who and what they are.  It's much easier to be straight, even today.  It shouldn't matter if you're cis or trans, gay or straight.  You should be treated the same but that just isn't the case.

The queer kids tend to gravitate together.  If your kid's friend group is all gay/lesbian/trans, there's a good chance that your kid might actually be gay.  Despite the claims that they're all faking it, there are still gay kids out there.  And yours might be one of them.  That's perfectly find and normal.  I agree with the other poster that was saying that the implication here is that there's a problem if your kid identifies as queer.  There is no problem there.  Some kids are gay.  Maybe your kid.  If you're scared they're gay or transgender then you need to look into yourself and think about why it's scary for that to be the case.  It's homophobia or transphobia.  [/quote]

Everyone understands that it's a problem when a gay kid pretends to be straight.  But why do some think it's no problem at all when a straight kid identifies as gay?  [/quote]

Gay kids pretend to be straight so that they won't be bullied.  If a straight kid pretends to be gay when they're attracted to the opposite gender then they're pretty unlikely to actually try anything with anyone.  Eventually they'll date someone of the opposite gender and be in a straight couple.  Straight people aren't going to get into gay marriages when they're straight.  No it's not a problem because society is built for straight people.  They're going to be fine.[/quote]
