Excellent points. I wanted to be a cowboy, too!
I’m sure there are a few children with rare hormonal imbalances who share biological traits more with the opposite sex. However, almost all of what we see in these “transgender children” articles is crazy families with crazy parents.
Also, as I pointed out above, “gender roles” in our society are very limiting. There’s no legitimate reason a young girl shouldn’t play with trucks, and there’s no reason an adult woman shouldn’t drive trucks (or a bulldozer, if she likes). There’s no reason a boy or a man shouldn’t love and nurture babies. People are individuals, not cardboard figures defined by someone else’s view of what is “masculine” or “feminine.”

Having given God's laws the boot, the culture is drunk on the pseudo-freedom of embacing everything sick and twisted, while using government force to mandate acceptance. No surprise. Government must be the thug enforcer, because the new "normal" is anything but.
We will increasingly see more laws dictating rights for the degenerate and psychologically corrupt. IOW, if the government says a particular conduct is good and normal, those who continue to answer to a Higher Authority are expected to knock that off and comply by debasing their moral standards, or else suffer persecution under the weight of the law. Kind of like how the government officials in Babylon suggested laws to the king... laws that conveniently made Daniel guilty of a capital offense.
Hey! I’ve got an idea.
Maybe people should just be individuals and not be pressured to act either lock step according to “gender” (gag) roles or be pressured to be transgendered!!!
“You’re a boy, you must love team sports” etc.
My hub could never be accused of not being very masculine and he loathed team sports. So he took up karate....
