We weren't confused about this. We just let it flow. These parents were stupid and naive enough to trust in the mumbo jumbo of today's mental "health" profession. If anyone should be hanged like Spartacus' troops lined the Appian Way it's those bastards with their degrees in pseudo-psychology. They're killing and otherwise causing misery for tens of thousands of kids.
Good point about “tom boys” - an innocuous phase that need not descend into madness.
Worth repeating.
When I see stallions cheerfully getting butt-plugged by another stallion, or male lions taking it happily in the rump from another male lion, I'll consider the possibility of homosexuality as natural. And when I see a lioness running a pride, fighting the males for the lead role, I'll consider the case for transgendered mammals. Until then, it is insanity.
And since this woman obviously loves everyone EXCEPT Bible-believing Christians, I put it in terms that didn't involve the Bible.
