Is this not Child Abuse? Perhaps The Reverend Jesse Jackson and other members of 'The Black Church' would be interested if this were a Negro child.
IMO, it’s absolute child abuse. Human children progress through a series of experiences which culminate with them determining for themselves exactly where they come down on sexuality and (being repetitive here) “self-determined” gender.
Nobody at any age should assess where the individual sees themselves.
If someone has chosen a lifestyle which later troubles them and they seek help, only then should a mutual assessment be made.
Recognize the stupidity of this for what it is folks.
If you approach an adult and explain they might be able to function very well as a heterosexual exclusively, the Left thinks it’s wrong.
If you approach a child of eight, it’s perfectly ok for them to explain that a child is a homosexual, male, female, or a mix.
I would go so far as to say that anyone trying to pull this stunt on a child, should be barred from every holding a position of authority involving children ever again.
