Nothing can go wrong with transitioning your 6-year-old. Can it? Its the science.
Exactly. Well said. The people pushing the trans agenda have strict views about how boys and girls should behave and what should interest them. They claim to be “tolerant” and “openminded,” but they are quite the opposite.
I have a theory about males and fashion.
Western males have been dressing boring for 150 years. ONLY 150 years. Seems that damn Civil War ruined more than just states’ rights.
Maybe going back to the Founders etc in more ways than one would help dissipate this fashion-envy some males seem to have and not lead them and everyone else to think they’re gay when they’re not.

“Maybe, if we accepted kids for who they are, they would accept themselves as they are and for who they are.”
I have often stated that the best way to ruin a kid’s good time is time get the parents involved.
Two of mine:
Gordon on the phone: “You don’t say! You don’t say!! You don’t say!!!”
O’Hara: “Who was that, Commissioner?”
“He didn’t say.”
Batman is framed. A little boy sees a Batman poster: “Boo,Batman!”
Bruce Wayne: “Nothing has ever cut me so deeply to the quick, no blow ever struck by any archvillain has ever hurt me so acutely as that little boy’s boo.”
I was a tomboy, but I had my girl moments. Mom and dad seemed to get me anything.
I didn’t mind tea sets though it was not a big thing. I loved the baking things…candy-makers, etc. I liked the real washer they got me from FAO Schwartz. Mostly because I love machines and watching it work was cool, with the water hose.
I had one doll I liked. She was like a little girl (pretty large size), had a back button that was for blinking, etc. otherwise couldn’t care less about them. For me it was cars and building sets. Liked to play sports but any old games with the neighbors….nothing organized.
LOL - I love that!
We were Navy brats and lived all over the place. We only saw our grandparents occasionally. Our dear grandmother frequently got my sister and me Barbie things for birthdays and Christmases. We had Barbies, Kens, Skipper, Midge…and the Barbie Dream House and Dream Car.
My sister and I sometimes used items from the Clue game to set up elaborate murder scenes in Barbie’s Dream House. We also sometimes sent the Dream Car hurtling down a hallway to crash into something, ejecting Barbie and Ken.
Sounds like you might have fit in with us. 😄
Children are incredibly curious, and if they hear something they’re not familiar with, they will ask questions and then repeat the answers as if they are tiny experts. These teachers should NOT be answering these questions - that’s for parents.
These people in these schools are insane, and they’re doing all of this for themselves; it’s not for the kids. They feel good about themselves when kids go, “Wow, you’re WHAT?”, “What’s that?” They want the attention, and they can’t get it from adults, so they get it from kids.
I was an incredible tomboy when I was a kid, and while I thought that life would have been easier as a boy (especially when I started menstruating), I would never have declared myself male. I knew how ridiculous that would be. That said, it terrifies me that so many teens now are so willing to do something so obviously dangerous. What happened to rebellion and punk?
I couldn’t make my own medical decisions when it came to my impending kidney failure and related care, but kids can choose to lop their bits off? That’s so fvcked.
I worked in psych hospitals for several years back in the day; we occasionally had a patient who believed they were Napoleon, or some such. We treated them with sympathy and caring. We did not give them funny uniforms with shiny buttons, infantry, and artillery.
Oops.
You also didn’t encourage them or exploit them to undermine society and push perverted agendas.

My wife always downplayed her father’s stories about her age 10-14 tomboy years. He said he would often walk out back of their home, look down the alley and see she shoot, dribble, and rebound better than the neighborhood boys her age. By 14, those boys were catching up to her 5’7” height She also was quick to feel comfortable shooting firearms.
But while she continued to have a superslender waist at 15, her perfect hourglass figure gradually appeared, and by the time she was 18, it was just a matter of filling out those curves a little. 47 yrs later, she still has her ‘wasp waist’ and lovely curves; a gorgeous woman that one could never picture as a tomboy.
Same here.
I remember in kindergarten (1960 ish) playing with blocks and stuff. The teacher asked if I wouldn’t rather play house.
So I tried it and quickly realized that a couple kids liked bossing everyone around and they were the mom and dad and their favorite friends were the children, and they were telling everyone else what to do.
So I left and went back to the blocks. The teacher came over again and asked me the same thing and I said that I tried and what I noticed and the last thing I remember was her looking over there and then walking in that direction.
I never knew how it ended but got the distinct impression she was not impressed with what was going on. I kind of laughed to myself.
I liked playing with building stuff too, like Lincoln Logs or Legos. I also liked being part of a group building forts out of things like evergreen branches and mud in the woods. And I enjoyed the co-ed kickball and other similar games that seemed to spring up regularly when we were kids.
I didn’t hate dolls or tea sets, but they didn’t really hold my interest. And I didn’t really like playing house either. Or school. (The bossiest person was always the teacher. LOL)
I did like doing some “girl” things like jump rope and hopscotch. :)
I was a tomboy, back in the 50’s. I LOVED doing sports and there simply weren’t ANY sports available for girls. My dad, an assistant Little League coach for my older brother’s team, told my brother ‘if you don’t start hitting better, I’m going to put your sister in to pinch hit for you!’. My brother starting hitting better.
I eschewed dolls to take apart things like my gumball machine. I played field hockey on my high school class’s team. I also grew up, went into the Sciences, married and had a family.
Little girls should be encouraged to do what they want, but not bullied into thinking they were born into the ‘wrong gender’. This ‘culture’ is destroying our children. And they are doing it happily.
About my only girl thing is sewing. I LOVE to work with fabric.
Otherwise, I’m out in the garden or working around the property with my electric chainsaw, helping clear out dead wood in the woods or getting in some range time. I also like wood refinishing projects. It’s very satisfying to take a beat up piece of furniture and make it look new again.
My mom was a ‘50s teen. She absolutely adored her girls-only Catholic school, where she was in field hockey and basketball. Always said how rough the hockey was.
And ALWAYS complains about the half-court basketball. She hated the stopping short and switching sides because someone crossed the line. She loved BB but hated the stupid “girl” restrictions.
Mom is more feminine than I. I think she liked tea sets a lot. However, she apparently wasn’t that into dolls, e.g., and liked being active outside (skating, sledding, etc).
That is the thing! These people are mentally ill. And sometimes, they’re MADE THAT WAY these days with these insane enablers!
Now that I think about it, outside my few neighbors - most of whom were girls and I was friendly with - most of my “bestest” cousins (we used to have LOTS of family gatherings in the Baltimore area, so my cousins were integral to my childhood) were boys. Those around my age immediately were mostly boys (my favorite is a girl, and she was a little older), so any family party was us running around playing guns games and huge hide-and-seek in the dark. I was not popular in regular society/school, not at all, but my cousins made me feel wanted and accepted. That part of childhood I absolutely treasure.
