Lived abroad? As a foreigner, with all sorts of international friends, I wonder why you think it matters. Are all foreigners backwards and conservative to you?

[b]Plenty of people don't like nail polish on youngsters. Some don't like pink or girly things on their boys, but it doesn't mean they're homophobic.

Just don't polish his nails. Easy!

First sentence: TRUE
Second sentence: LIE

If you have a problem with your son wearing something you’d label “girly” then you are not only homophobic but sexist. Seriously. Because you know you’d never say your daughter can’t wear black or a sports shirt because it’s “boyish” because you don’t see anything wrong with things that are for boys but things for girls are inherently less than to you.

NP. I don’t mind my boy wearing pink or playing with hearts or whatever, but yeah I would draw the line at letting him pick out a pink tutu to wear at age 3. I am not a homophobe or a bigot, just a realist. And no, I don’t agree with parents who encourage their male kids to identify as girls because they think they are girls at the age of two, nor do I want to be branded as one of these parents when I let my kid wear a pink tutu.

Okayyyy, then the word you’re looking for is transphobic. Still not okay. [/quote]
