Legal definition of woman is based on biological sex, UK supreme court rules

Ask any child, be they "queer" or straight, whether they'd rather be celebrated and loved, or dehumanized and abused. You'll find there is pretty clear consensus.

Ask any child if they would throw rocks at puppies if doing so would get them their parent's love and attention, and you're going to get a clear consensus.

That's actually part of the problem - any child who says they're queer or trans is immediately love-bombed, and celebrated as special and brave and wonderful and beautiful. They are given a non-stop reward of positive attention for doing so. Children observe that when other kids say they're trans, those kids get attention and love and celebration and praise.

Children are incentivized to identify as trans.

Children are not praised for simply being the sex they are. They're also not dehumanized and abused for simply being the sex they are. And these days, pretty much zero kids are being abused if they say they're trans. The closest you get to that is a parent who refuses to indulge their child when doing so has long term negative health affects, and wants their kid to go through a normal healthy puberty and become a full adult.

Do you really intend to assert that gender identity is entirely the result of parental choice and action?

I didn't assert any of that.

Teachers, other adults, social media, other kids all play a role in framing what is rewarded for children's behavior, and what is not. As it stands right now... a child who says they're trans is rewarded by their teachers and school staff for doing so, they're lauded and celebrated by teachers and other kids and a wide variety of adults. They're praised, celebrated, told they're special and brave.

And then they get the shit kicked out of them after school.

I understand the above is your opinion. Perhaps your experience is specific to your area, because it is not the case where I live. And I suspect you conflate the lack of ridicule or supportive behavior with celebration.

And regardless of the accuracy of the diagnosis, it is very brave to come out as trans. Especially in these times with the anti-trans agenda on the front burner of the GOP.

Bullshit. My kid was beat up in the bathroom and they attended a LIBERAL PERFORMING ARTS SCHOOL. My kid is pushed around and pushed down at the roller skating rink. He's handed stupid religious pamphlets when out with friends. Don't freaking tell me you know anything truly about how a transgendered kids day to day life is.......

The parents made the kid gay.

Gender identity is not sexual orientation. This is a silly thing to say.

You said kids will do and be what ever they are praised to be. Puppy killers and whatnot. If that isn’t what you meant then you aren’t being very careful with your language and analogy.

The “love bomb” assertion is patently false and ridiculous.

And you did write “queer or trans” in a statement. That is quite broad.

My friend Maggie said her worst nightmare would be for her some to be gay. He’s queer as a three dollar bill.

“Any child who says they’re queer…”

Any child. Any. That is very broad language. In the context of all the other posts I take that as literal and intentionally sweeping.

 

[scombrid]

In the GOP world, anything short of outright persecution and abuse is “special treatment”.

And this notion that kids are made to be queer or trans through positive reinforcement just doesn’t match experience. In my generation people got abused pretty widely for being anything other than straight. It didn’t make anyone any less gay, queer, or trans. It just made people figure out ways to pass.
