4 year olds don’t make decisions. 4 year olds have impulses.

If my parents had let me choose at age 4 I would have chosen “dinosaur”.

Exactly. My youngest decided she wanted to be a boy when she was 7. We let her cut her hair short, got her a tool belt, let her be Dad's shadow and she followed me everywhere doing "guy" things like fixing stuff. I rather enjoyed it because we knew it would pass.

And it did, rather abruptly one day. We were playing catch and I tried to teach her to throw from the shoulder rather than the elbow. In frustration I told her throwing from the elbow was how girls threw.

"But Daddy," she explained, "I am a girl!" And with that, she dropped her glove and baseball cap on the ground and stalked off. No amount of coaching would get her to be my boy again after that incident, although she eventually forgave me and went back to being my little girl.

This is cruelty to children plain and simple and I feel like I am living in an asylum where the lunatics have taken over.

4 year olds have impulses.

I agree; but, how does a 4 year old even know about "transitioning" to another sex? This is looney parents.

[Axenolith]

And an impulse like this generates LOTS of attention. Probably be an uptick of it as it gets seen on local news and is yammered about by the vacuum heads...
