The neighbor is being called transphobic—but perhaps the neighbor thought he was being pranked by a boy and reacted accordingly.
He may have seen that Brady Bunch episode where Peter was put up to doing just that.

February 17, 2016 (DailySignal) -- When a 9-year-old boy who identifies as Stormi, a transgender girl, started selling Girl Scout cookies, one neighbor was not amused, according to Buzzfeed.
The neighbor rebuffed him, reportedly saying, “Nobody wants to buy Girl Scout cookies from a boy in a dress.”
The neighbor is being called transphobic—but perhaps the neighbor thought he was being pranked by a boy and reacted accordingly. Not everyone assumes that a boy in a dress selling Girl Scout cookies is transgender.
Stormi looked like a boy to the neighbor because he really is a boy. Transgender people may deceive themselves, but they do not deceive others.
Life in society is not some fantasy world where a boy should pretend he has magically transformed himself into a girl simply by uttering the words “I am a girl” and changing how he presents himself.
The people who strongly object to the honest reaction from a man saying, “Nobody wants to buy Girl Scout cookies from a boy in a dress” are perhaps gender-phobic, rejecting and ridiculing the reality of male and female genders.
The people who encourage very young kids to act out, switch genders, and live a life of pretend need to understand that Stormi could be suffering from a dissociative disorder, just as happened with me. My feelings of not wanting to be a boy started in early childhood as result of cross-dressing at the hands of my grandma.
Stormi could be in need of psychotherapy, not a dress.
Caregivers all too often collaborate with a mental disorder instead of treating it. Telling a psychologically troubled boy he has changed genders is not compassion, but can become reckless parenting. By withholding psychotherapy, parents could be abusing the kid.
Living in a self-made gender fantasy world void of reality is not psychologically or emotionally healthy.
I know that to be true. I was transgender kid at the age of 4. For decades, as I tried to live in my male birth gender, the feelings of being a woman only grew stronger.
I sought help from a renowned gender specialist who told me that mine was a clear-cut case of gender dysphoria—strong, persistent feelings of identification with the opposite gender and discomfort with one’s own assigned sex. He said the only way to get relief was to surgically change genders.
I underwent gender reassignment surgery at 42 years of age after cross-dressing for most of my life.
I lived as a transgender, Laura Jensen, female, for eight years. While studying psychology in a university program, I discovered that trans kids most often are suffering from a variety of disorders, starting with depression—the result of personal loss, broken families, sexual abuse, and unstable homes. Deep depression leads kids to want to be someone other than who they are.
That information sure resonated with me.
Finally, I had discovered the madness of the transgender life. It is a fabrication born of mental disorders.
I only wish that when I went to the gender counselor for help he would have told me I couldn’t really change genders, that it is biologically impossible. Instead, he approved me for gender reassignment surgery, a surgery that, if I had been provided proper psychotherapy, would never have been necessary or appropriate.
The transgender life is often the direct result of early childhood difficulty or trauma. Assisting a young child into the fabricated ideology of a transgender life is not helping the child sort out what is real and what is fiction.
The likelihood that the child known as Stormi is suffering from separation anxiety or some other psychological disorder cannot be ignored. Stormi is living in a foster home. While it may be safe and necessary, foster care is intended to separate the child from the birth parent. This can lead to psychological disorders like separation anxiety disorder.
Separation anxiety occurs as the result of loss or separation from the birth parent. Disruption in a child’s home environment can lead to stress, depression, and anxiety. Living in a foster home even under the best conditions can be stressful to a young person.
Separation anxiety disorder and other psychological disorders can masquerade as gender dysphoria, leading caregivers and medical practitioners to misdiagnose and not provide proper or effective psychotherapies.
Stormi’s life will evolve as maturity unfolds. Most likely in 15 or 20 years, reality will set in that he really never changed genders. This is often a turning point where the trans life is not looking as good as it once did.
Thankfully, like me, many transgender persons return to the gender they once shed. Slowly they restore the life that was lost.
The three men who came up with the idea of changing boys into girls and making transgenders, Alfred Kinsey, Harry Benjamin, and John Money, were pedophilia advocates. (For more of the history, see “Sex Change” Surgery: What Bruce Jenner, Diane Sawyer, and You Should Know.)
The neighbor man was correct about one thing: The Girl Scout at his door was really a boy in a dress—just like I was as a young boy who thought I was a girl.
A fact that the left deliberately ignores.

I wonder what Katherine Hepburn, Truman Capote and Willa Cather would have ended up like if their parents had allowed them to pursue the idea that they were a different sex. All 3 thought they were the opposite sex as children but grew up to become great artists. Probably another case of the artistic gene going haywire.
Thanks for posting this thread.
excellent article.
Perhaps. Another possibility is that all three, like so many performers, came from seriously dysfunctional home environments - a situation that correlates both with creative careers and with sex-related abnormalities.
I won’t buy Girl Scout Cookies from anyone, not even my wonderful great niece.
I never got the idea that Capote was a cross-dresser. He seemed like a typical Southern Queen to me.
Could be abusing the kid? COULD BE? We're way past could be!
When I was a young girl being a tom boy was not considered to be a bad thing.
Being an only child of my parents probably had to do with the serious effects of the great depression.
I won’t buy girl scout cookies, either.
Me either. If I wanted to support abortion providers I'd just write them a check.
A fact that the left deliberately ignores.
Actually, they desperately try to hide it.
Thanks for posting this
I have always stated that transgenderism is more of a mental disorder. The people who think this way, need real mental health. Not a dress, not a make up kit, not separate bathrooms, etc
The number one cause of death of transgender -suicide
I’ve noted that about the “gay” set too. Modern society doesn’t seem to have a lot of room for emotive men, for example. (I’d posit that this has a lot to do with the fact that said society doesn’t have a lot of room for Jesus.) Forced to grow into a stunted box with their capacities, the devil is right there to coax them into cheap substitutes, which they pursue with characteristic passion that few others can understand.
Think about it. This trans-crap furthers the NWO and the left’s goals of population reduction. It’s all relative.
I’m torn here because the kids are mostly innocent. I might think of slipping the kids directly a few bills and, if I had it, a gospel card.
To expand on that, the PTA emailed information about Texas Governor candidates Abortion Barbie and Greg Abbott but said they weren’t endorsing anyone. I told them I better not ever get another email with that lying, cheating, murderous bitch’s name on it from them again.
I look at it from a high level. Devil throws monkey wrenches into the work of God.
