My two boys, way back at around ages 7-10, had pony tails, as did their dad, Don-o. They looked great in the long gold brocade vestments which, as Russian Orthodox acolytes, they wore at the altar.
Even my Ben (now a 2nd Lt. Marine Aviator in the USMC and "all guy") could have been described in some ways as a "sensitive" 10-year-old. But understand: he was a sensitive, long-haired, 10-year-old BOY. There was no reason to think he or his brother would have to be castrated to find their "true" selves!
It's the perversely narrow rigidity of the gender-binary stereotype that feeds right into this transgender hogwash.
A girl who likes to climb trees, doesn't mind putting a worm on a hook, and can out-run her older brother, is still a girl. A boy who likes glitter and sprays sweet-smelling stuff on his hair is still a boy.
These narrow, rigid pro-transgender "parents" ought to shed their biases and spare their son Conrad the irreversible trauma they have evidently planned for him. He doesn't need injectable hormonal confusion and genital mutilation. He needs to be understood as the boy he is.
Without getting into specifics ... if the 10 year old “me” were to be dropped unceremoniously into today’s government school system, he would almost certainly be diagnosed, drugged, counseled, bent, folded, spindled, and mutilated. I shudder to think. Such treatment would almost certainly have prevented becoming the hairy pirate that I am today.
That’s probably what the demonically inspired left wants.
Deserves repeating. Even some "conservatives" are buying the idea that children (and adults) who don't fit the most constricting of "gender" stereotypes are "really" the opposite sex, or were "born homosexual."
