[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is really zero big deal.

I have a very, very close and dear friend whose young teen child (born girl, identifies as male/non)--an extremely lovely, smart, and wonderful kid--who, IMO, should pee wherever the heck they feel is right.  Luckily they're growing up in a very accepting household and community. My friend is most nervous about the future, venturing in to college and so on.  We know the statistics on violence and suicide are quite high for this group. :(

My daughter met a cashier at Staples the other day who was probably born male, I referred to her as "he," and she corrected me: "She." I said, "Yes, pardon me, 'she'." My daughter asked, "Wait, are you a girl?" And the person behind the register said, "Yes, very much that's I feel deep down inside. How about you?" My daughter said, "I feel like I'm a girl." The cashier said, "Cool" and they fist bumped. And so it goes... My kid's eight, so if she can roll with it...  :D

If history is any guide, we will become less and less uptight and hateful as time goes on. Stand up for these folks.  They could use more support and acceptance.[/quote]

I find this so very, very sad.

Does anyone stop to consider that maybe the little girl that wants to dress in "boy clothes" (as in pants, t-shirts, etc), wants to play with trucks, and doesn't like "girl things", might be... gasp!... a lesbian?  Or even a straight woman that is gender non-conforming?

Instead, we force them into this one gender role.

It's very 1950s to me.  Girls are expected to play with barbies, boys are expected to play with trucks.  If they don't, that's not okay, and they must be born the wrong gender.

And then later, when those same kids enter puberty, no doubt they will be given drugs and hormones and possibly go through gender reassignment surgery so that they get the "right" gender.  So we're going to drug up these little girls and turn their genitalia into a penis because.... they don't really like barbies and princesses and the color pink?

WHAT IN THE FRESH HELL HAS HAPPENED TO THIS WORLD.  I feel so bad for these children. [/quote]
