There is so much convolution in this issue - and purposely so - no one can either confirm or refute it.
First, prepubescent children are NOT SEXUAL, despite what Planned Barrenhood and other Marxist Kinsey front groups would have us believe. If they are acting sexually, they’ve been raped.
If your talking about a “child” who identifies as “gay,” then you are talking about a 14, 15, or 16 year old. They are still in development and likely were talked into this identity by strategically placed indoctrination organizations embedded in schools.
Preteens CAN have abnormal ideas of gender identity.
