"Theybies"
Det
Does anyone else think these kids are probably going to end up hating their parents? Edit; I wasn't aware this subject might not be allowed, please delete the thread in case that's true.

this world has gone insane. don't we have enough problems already without adding new ones that are sure to need a psychiatrist later down the line?
sigh

Boy this sure does seem like a political thread, of the kind that Matchias told us not to make anymore.

Where? I can't see any announcements, stickies or rules about it. I just saw the sexual allegations thread constantly being active and thought this seemed relatively tame by comparison. If we're really not allowed to discuss this sort of thing, I'll try to remove the thread.

It's not politics so... I don't see why this would be removed. Then again, I see some shooting threads locked and they're not political either so... it's kind of just whatever threads Machias decides is inappropriate on a given day.
On topic: It's always unfortunate when parents don't want to actually parent, or when they want to perform bizarre social experiments on their children. What kind of parent would do that? I just can't fathom. How? Seems pretty directly sociological to me.

Really, at worst, what? It's mostly the parents just complicating it for themselves, and the kid might be a little confused if he/she doesn't quite understand the gender categorizations other kids were taught by society and family and may need some explaining. Not that they won't pick up on it by society too. It's doubtful most of these kids are kept isolated and away from society through their childhood. Personally though I think it's just easier to identify the kid as they were born, but don't be a rejecting ass of a parent if your kid ends up one of those who feels differently about it. At the same time, how a kid feels at, say, age six may not be the same as they feel at age 12. Last edited by IndigoErth; 07-26-2018 at 01:17 PM. |

I honestly can't see this going wrong. The only problem would be the people who are raised to hate on those who are different.

Who knows? Kids are kids. Most 12 year olds still think there's a Santa Claus and that babies come from a stork. They don't get to set their bedtime, let alone tell their parents their gender is something it's not.

That's probably more to do with the educational system in the US

So kids are incapable of consent yet they can choose their own gender? Hypocritical Double Standard.
Also, 37 likes and 2500 dislikes

It's appalling. It's irresponsibility as a parent. It's child abuse, the repercussions of which following the kid(s) for the rest of their lives. CPS should step in.

I’m all for doing away with gender stereotypes such as “girls are sugar & spice and everything nice” and “big boys don’t cry, act like a man.”
I never really liked the blue is for boys pink is for girls mentality. I’m all for parents wanting their kids to grow up healthy and happy. However, this particular approach I don’t understand. Seems to tip the scale to much the other direction. I think a more balanced approach is something to be explored.

I found out Santa was fake around 3rd grade or perhaps 4th, I think? So around 8-9 years old. As fir the stork, I never believed in that BS nor did my older relatives ever feed me that lie. I have no clue where I thought babies came from at the time, but I assumed some sort of process had to be done in order for a woman to get pregnant. As for the thread itself, not gonna comment on it. Enough these threads already, guys. I just wanted to address Andrew's post. |

Speaking to the subject... Yea, those parents are idiotic and they're doing far more harm than good. Scratch that, they're only doing harm. |

Point is, it's a controversial issue that's bound to lead to nasty arguments. |

This is in no way shape or form a political discussion, at most this is deconstruction of a social experiment. Oh, and for the record: Just by looking at those two children and seeing the way they walk, I can tell the older one is a girl and the younger one is a boy. |
