I had not realized how ignorant a lot of people are about this topic some people are until now.

And yet those same people have the strongest opinions and are leading a charge to control the lives of transgender people. That is so very Trumpian.

A family, within reason, can do what they like with their children (like it or hate it).
I am of the belief that a member of the Rollup forum will do well by their kids.

Personally speaking (due to a public history of Pedophilia, including institutional, in the country I live) I would like my kids to not be sexualised early (for any reason). I 'believe' they should have the chance to enjoy a childhood where 'sexual preference' is not yet covered. As was the case for me.
I know, I'm following a handed down dogma ..but it has always worked for my family.
I admit I do have a belief, that early sexualisation (for whatever) could effect the onset of puberty in children (and have other effects). Not sure on the peer reviewed science on this though. And society, does seem to have become more sexualised (meaning children need some 'awareness').

This is a personal thing though ..I would never demand others follow my families choices. Nor would a support people deposing my families views on this. I guess its somewhat life experiences too, can't forget that :)
Being transgender or non-binary isn't about sexual preference, I know it's a little confusing.

haha ..probably not
I just noticed the thread had battle lines drawn
I have respectfully retreated to a safe distance.
And will simply watch the show, like the majority ;)

Peace.
Gender and sexuality are two very different things.

Try to keep that idea in your head when you observe the world in the future and consider it.

Your assertion that discussing and recognizing gender is somehow sexualizing children is both incorrect and highly offensive. It also makes me wonder about your character.

But I respect the way you handled it.

Peace.

Oh really? What about your own strong opinion, Mr, Ironic Hypocrite? I thought you said that you have pretty much alienated your own family with this stuff. That should have given you a clue that most people who care about you feel opposed to your parenting shit show. Why would you think that the majority of society wouldn't feel the same? But, sure, it's your own family and the majority of society that's wrong. Sure.

Please no replies to me personally, but you have a completely incorrect view of my opinions. And, my education level.
Your statements don't reflect my inner feelings (nor understanding) of the matter.
I'm not a barrier to you or anyones freedoms. As much as you would like to think I am.

Peace.

Ok, I won't directly reply to you. :confused:

I have no impression of your education level. All I know about you is in your post which I may :confused: have misinterpreted. Who knows?

Thank you for posting this thread btw. I didn't want to be all Fogdog about it, but he was right. This is something that I am ignorant to, so feel free to call me out on anything I have said that is stupid/out of line.

I just know growing up there was a handful of people I knew that I could tell were just more feminine and their dads treated them like shit. It always bothered me.

I never realized how much oprobrium we would receive as parents by "allowing" this. Lost most of my already strained family over it. My own sister has turned me into a Facebook story of liberal indulgence and excess to her semi-moron militia friends.

Republicans are assholes and
Damn, I know you're a really good father and you're going to do the best you can for your kid. That kid, your kid, is lucky to have you. I mean that, @Unclebaldrick

I left this thread alone for a few days because I didn't feel I could contribute anything. Baldrick was catching hella shit but was handling it just fine. He doesn't need a white knight. So I stayed out of it.


I even left the big tick's obnoxious posts alone but the bitch kept at it. When it was clear that he was just being a shithead about the subject and AFTER he had his say, AFTER he started repeating his bs, I figured I'd troll the troll. I found a chink, got under his skin and started to burrow in. Nothing wrong with trolling a troll.

And One!

BTW, I was surprised when it became clear that he didn't know what that meant but was too much of a bitch to ask. I knew the hook was set.

Tick
Ticks (suborder Ixodida) are parasitic arachnids that are part of the superorder Parasitiformes. Along with mites, they constitute the subclass Acari. Adult ticks are approximately 3 to 5 mm in length depending on age, sex, species, and "fullness". Ticks are external parasites, living by feeding on the blood of mammals, birds, and sometimes reptiles and amphibians. It is estimated ticks originated during the Late Cretaceous period, approximately 120 MYA, the earliest tick fossil in New Jersey amber is dated at 90-94 million years old.[1] Ticks are widely distributed around the world, especially in warm, humid climates.

Obviously, your question is asked with bias and isn't really really a serious one because, as you already know, no matter what I would say will just be met with more vitriolic responses.
FFS! it’s a biased question because I believe your wrong and would like you to explain how you would handle a situation you say is being handled wrong? Really?
