I should explain to an 11 yr old what a transition is? Have you lost your mind? I do not say any of those things. I say they are confused and leave it at that. Other kids think it’s bizarre as fuck and even creepy.If you really wished that we lived in a Lj open and understanding world then you should start with your own household. Homosexuals were characterized and discriminated against the same way trans people are now and they all still fight against a strong wave of hate in this country. You could easily explain to your children that Timmy becoming Tammy is a trans person transitioning and explain what that is. I’m afraid the way many parents explain that to their children paints that as deranged, wrong, freakish and only feeds in that child becoming bigoted and phobicThen vilify away. You cannot change human nature. If one day my kids see Timmy in a shorts and t-shirt and the next day in a dress and his name is Tammy, they will find that odd. I am not going to sit there and tell them it is "normal". Doesn't mean they have to be bigoted. But they also don't have to feed into the delusion. If I tell you I am Wonder Woman, do you have to feed into my delusion and call me Wonder Woman?I vilify those who label, judge, discriminate, shame and try to ostracize others whom are innocent. It’s not a holier than thou thing as much as it’s sticking up for the “little” guy thing… I do think it’s a shame if parents are teaching their kids to be bigoted against others and I think it’s even sadder then it translates to parents who can’t accept their children for who they are. Children being gay has broken up families for decades now. Thankfully parents are growing more acceptingHow holier than thou of you. Many do find this odd. I spoke to a lady who has five kids and one is trans and I asked her how it feels. Her response "It is like losing a child". It is interesting how you on the LEFT and you are on the LEFT, vilify those that think disparately from you. Kids think its weird when a biological girl or boy states they are the opposite gender. That is simple human nature. I find it odd. I believe these kids need to speak to a specialist to make sure that there are no other underlying issues. Funny how you don't see that side of the coin.Well I wonder why... Do you think the fact that their parents find these kids weird and odd might have something to do with it? Do you think that if they had parents that taught them how to be understanding and accepting of those who are different then perhaps they wouldn't be concerned about it?You missed the point of my post entirely. Not a surprise. Kids do care. My kids find these kids to be weird and odd.Confusion comes from adults when some tell kids that men can't be woman and others say that men can be women and then the kids get mixed up in these ridiculous kind of arguments that we see on message boards like this. Kids don't care, they just want to play and do their thing. Once the world can accept that Trans is a real thing and then move on to rationally find ways to integrate them into our society then it will be less confusing for children and easier to handle. Unfortunately I think we are decades away from that.The harm that creates is confusion for little kids. Tough to measure but the whole pronoun thing and such is bizarre to many. We won't see the real harm for years IMO, but soon kids who become adults and regret their decisions to transition and such will become prevalent and create a whole new set of issues IMO.Understood, which is why I’m saying sports is a valid debate to have. Olympics and other sporting events have standards to qualify people. But I’m not talking about that kind of harm. We should discuss and debate the proper time and place for trans people to play sports and use gender specific facilities. But Bobby was talking about a societal harm and that’s what the discussion was aboutBut that is real harm and yes there could be large girls but few if any are large and quick a boys can be. You also mentioned some she males or whatever. If you look at female body builders they look like men too but they are females!You’re talking about sports which I said is a valid debate… granted I’m sure there are other large and athletic girls that can check and injure other girls… but that’s a different debate and wasn’t the harm I or Bobby boy here was talking about.My daughter playing lacrosse against a biological boy who checks her and she goes flying and hurts herself...real harm. Would you like me to simplify that for you or did that suffice?What’s the real harm? Explain it to meWhy send them to a hospital, they aren’t hurting anybody.
Denying the very real harm that every sane person can clearly see is being caused by this madness does not make it go away.
Gay/Straight isn't the same. That is a sexual preference. In school kids should be learning and in sports they should be competing, not worrying about sexual preference. I get your POV that you believe we should be a wide open and understanding world. But that is now how real life works. I wish it did.
