See this is where you're a little extreme: "goddamn it, my girl is goin' to wear taffeta if I wants her to because she uh hurr!" There used to be respectful ways of letting girls wear and enjoy some of the boys clothing and colors without ditching the whole uniform and no one was so worked up over gender that they would have ranted at a kid about being insane or a reject for wanting to exercise their abilities, that makes me think you have some other issue.

Kids at the ages where this kind of instruction is being banned have come home to their parents in a panic because these lessons have made them afraid they aren't what they thought they were or that they were suddenly going to become what they aren't.
This is an understandable thing..But is not this where the parent comes in maybe..Teach the child to question..even if it hurts Your pride a little..Adult tolerance does cause reflection in a child.
I'm sorry, but it's not the school's job to traumatize my child so that I *have* to do that form of parenting. I can explain the subject to him when I feel it won't make him think he's suddenly going to turn into a girl overnight.

They call it a dont say gay bill which is dumb to me because sex doesn't belong in a classroom. People that dont have a sense of this and think we should inject sex are the ones that make me wonder.

Okay but then why do you keep putting words in my mouth:
"I'm not interested in changing my position"
If you wanted to respect me you obviously wouldn't have said that. That's gross. You love the idea I'm trying to change your position.
"The whole live and let live position goes poof the second you mess with the children"
Try how about stop the damn inferences. Because that's gross. The whole "I was only disrespecting you a little while pretending I wasn't" goes out the window the moment somebody does it.
You are not a good person. That takes work.

Shut up. Calm it. Read my last comment. And stop making inferences. I don't care enough about you to guilt trip. Damn this is annoying.
