That's why it's so important, because phases as a child come to an end. These people let their kids run them and that's the fastest way to destroying the child's future.
Sure, son, you can be a girl. We'll pay for the operation you need to become one, and yes I know you're not even 10 yet, and we're well aware that suicide rates are highest among transgenders, but as long as you don't try to go to church or become a republican then you're good in our eyes.

Well after watching The Silence of the Lambs we know how kids turn out that aren't allowed to transition.
Good-bye horses, I'm flying over you!

"I would freely admit not all would actively push their kids to be gay - but I'd wager a months pay that a lot of them do."
There is ample evidence that the "rate" of gay kids is independent of the parents sexual orientation.
One thing, there is no question that these children get exposed to the subject much, much earlier than children of hetero couples.

Children play and pretend, they develop at different times.
I wasn’t suggesting I wanted my children to be sonic or ratchet
It’s a game, children play, doesn’t need to be acted on was all a I was saying

So you are unwilling to consider peer reviewed research using acceptable methodology?

???? more "common sense"? What are you basing that conclusion on? Sex ed at least here in California started in the 4th grade for our son and lets face it, they are exposed earlier than that regardless of the parents orientation

I absolutely get what you are saying.
I do believe there are truly people born in the wrong body. I remember this as a kid.
The thing is, it was very very rare. Maybe like one kid in 500 or thousand.
Now it seems like every girls that is a tomboy or effeminate boy is being pushed to transition regardless of age!
What kind of mental issues will these kids face in the future? What if it is just a phase and not real intentions.
How about we just let kids be kids, and when they are an adult they can make the final decision.

I agree. Kids should be left alone for the most part. I think it's good that se teach acceptance to kids though.
It's an interesting time. For generations, LGBTQ was strictly condemned and oppressed, now it's swung into the complete opposite direction.
Buddha had it right with going in the neutral / middle path.
