Many of the shows have awkward, bumbling boy characters who are manipulated or shown up by the girls.

I suppose that just mirrors the way the relationship between the sexes has been portrayed on TV aimed at adults. Seems like the 1970s is when I first started noticing commercials and programs portraying men as incompetent dolts interacting with bright, confident women.
Never have been much of a TV watcher, but I remember not liking what I saw. I am convinced now that all of this was the result of calculated efforts to undermine the family.
I’m single.
OH ?
This is a mental disease and mental disorders are catching, keep the children away from them.

There are no shortage of enablers of sick minded people these days, everyone from the medicine man, to the plastic surgeon, to the tatoo guy to the media, to his friends and admirers encouraged this man to go deeper and deeper into his pathology. In another way, didn’t Michael Jackson have a somewhat similar problem with his appearance? He started out as a normal looking person and ended up looking like a freak. Are there no ethics laws in plastic surgery? Well, considering that they mutilate men to make them look like women and vice versa, I guess the answer to that is no.
Notice how all the super hero women look like models, they fight and are as tough as men but you never see one of them getting any kind of disfiguring injury such as a broken nose, black eye or teeth knocked out. Television’s version of reality.
In other times a mother who dressed her boy as a girl would be considered an abusive mother, now she will be treated as the proud mother of a transgendered child. Don’t change the mother—no change the boy’s body.
I think that this is a problem of a parent projecting onto the child. I can see how a divorced woman can feel abandoned by her husband and then tries to turn her son into a girl so that “she” will never leave her mother. It could also be a case of a deep seated anger against men. But you can’t even consider that possibility these days as that would be considered homophobic.
A breath of fresh air and reason in this whole discussion.

1. It's all about money, isn't it? Nothing has changed in the human condition:
money,
power,
fame and
status.
Those are the four "scarce resources" for which all humans (except you and me, of course) compete for.
2. Freak describes his new face. So sad. I used to teach aerobics and used his music. It was FABULOUS music.
I used his music because NO ONE could NOT move to it.
3. Ethics? Why would there be more of fewer ethics today, 10,000 years ago or in Michael Jackson's time? NOTHING has changed in the human condition. We are healthier, more educated, more technologically sophisticated but are we happier, nicer, better humans?
I guess the answer to that is no.
Off the topic: I saw "Man of Steel" (yet again) on the plane coming home last night and it occurred to me that it was so very popular because we NEED a hero like him. He shows us how we could be, morally. It's fiction, OF COURSE, but it's a model.
GORSH and GEE WHIZ!!!! Is he gorgeous or what!!! :o):o)
Is there a Pedro the Explorer? No? I rest my case. Despite the mythical “war on women”, in the West men are denigrated in most areas of public life, treated as fools by the advertising industry, the “justice” system is stacked against them, (Family Court, anyone?) ,and it is just plain thought to be quite un-cool in many circles to be male. This propagandizing starts EARLY, so it’s hardly shocking that many (especially white, upper middle class to upper class) boys are putting on dresses!
How many GIRLS wish they were BOYS? Notice a pattern here?
“..... she confided: “I could never bring myself to send a doll or ...”
CONFIDED? How do you confide to a newspaper or magazine or tabloid?
I don’t even want to think about how I would handle (or not) a grandchild claiming to be transgender. I DO think many kids go through what this boy did, but the parents get it worked out quickly and privately. They do NOT sell their kid’s story to a tabloid. Poor granny.
His parents are T.S.T.L.
How intolerant of this grandma! How judgmental! How hateful!
” They do NOT sell their kid’s story to a tabloid. Poor granny.”
Really Granny should be wondering what she did wrong as a parent to raise kids that would do this to her grandchildren.
granny is correct, he is not a girl
Can you imagine the pressure this kid is going to feel from his own parents, teachers and others if he ever changes his mind? I doubt they let him
