I would defend an autistic boy's right to sit, at age 3, for an hour, with his little toy car in his hand, upside down, spinning its wheels because he enjoys it. Even if that is not how you are "supposed" to play with that toy.
There is no medical test before or shortly after birth that will dx autism either.
If you choose to defend perversion then do it at your own risk. It is not though a good position to take a stand on though if you want to be here long at FR being that this is not a left-wing site and your position is left-wing.
I am defending little tiny children. Not perversion. You've got your panties in a twist thinking of adult sexual behavior. JmRob can throw me off any time he likes. I support everything FR stands for and have not deviated from any of it.
No you are defending perversion. These kids are being very irresponsibly being taught that gender doesn’t matter and that will eventually make these kids at some point vulnerable to perverts.
You are expressing the opinion that it doesn’t matter for kids. Well what age does that logic go up to for you. Is there any point you would seek help for them or try to teach them different?
I had to think of this comment of yours comparing autism to transgenderism or homosexuality. My best friend for nearly thirty years has rown up with autism or possibly aspergers. He also had a very rough childhood, has had problems with ingrown eyelashes or something like that, has very swollen lower legs and ankles due to a lymph node consition (also has massive scars), etc... I have always defended him, bailed him out of siutations due to people not understanding him, etc...
Though this has been tough for him and even for me as a friend at times I also noticed long ago that this problem of his also causes him to be extremely creative in many ways. He is also a very intelligent person and has a good heart and good values.... but...
there has never been a time whereas I or him have taken the attitude of promoting further autistic behavior within him but instead I have always tried to help him cope with and overcome his social difficulties. Though he is better in so many ways he still is having difficulties in his life today.
I honestly find your comparison of transgenderism, crossdressing, homosexuality, etc... as being similiar to autism but then to also act as if we should make kids like it and take pics of them and put it on Facebook defending this way of teaching children.
I dont know you and maybe you are very conservative in many ways but I see you as being completely aligned with perverted leftists so far on this issue.
I stand with you here.
People, even young people, are who they are. It isn’t always who we would want or expect them to be.
