Ah, that word tolerance. It sounds so quaint now. Remember when that's all that was expected, to "tolerate" these behaviors? Now it has to be full blown acceptance.
Tolerate has always meant acceptance. This is all a little silly but it isn't unacceptable. What is unacceptable is an adult who would mock or deride a child for this or post on an internet chat board protesting it. Only the most deranged sort of loser adult who is sick in the mind would do something like that.
"Unacceptable" to whom? Who said you get to set the standards for what is acceptable?

Yes, and they enjoy the attention from it and the feeling of being special and unique.
Pp here. They don't get much attention. I think most wise adults, teachers and parents, just roll their eyes and go with it just as they would if they were trying on an emo identity or goth identity or jock identity. It's a little puerile but there's nothing fundamentally wrong with it. And to the degree it provides a supportive environment for kids who actually are transgendered or whatever, that's a plus. Only the ugliest of jackass adults would get their panties in a twist over it. There is literally no harm in humoring it, but plenty of harm in fighting it.
Actually, there is a lot fundamentally wrong with it.
Not really. That's just your invalid opinion that isn't shared by anyone else anywhere.

Oh the fuddy dud, old fashioned parents who can't just "roll with" their kids "experimenting" in sexual behaviors.
I have two middle schoolers with friends trying on there identities. None of them are experimenting with anything but labels. They aren't actually sexually active. I think that is common.

No tolerate, means to put up with something, not think there's nothing wrong with it.
In this context, you are wrong. And your viewpoint here is not valid. Are you this ugly despicable person to which I was referring? I would like for you to stop thinking so much about teenagers and who they say they fuck. That is creepy and pervy.
If I tolerate my husbands snoring it simply means I'm not trying to smother him with a pillow. It doesn't mean that I wouldn't like for him to shut the hell up.

As a parent with soon to be high schoolers of my own, I don't think it's "creepy and pervy" to spend time thinking about what the cultural environment is like that my kids will soon be entering.
