When my kids were little they used to love parading around in adult shoes. It generated a lot of laughter to see my two year old daughter trying to walk in her father's cowboy boots, or my three year old son parade around in my high-heeled shoes.
It has been pretty much accepted for many generations to be a natural form of play for children, and we never once saw it as an expression of transgenderism. Kids (being the little hams they're noted for) enjoyed the reward of making everyone laugh.
Like most stages of learning-play kids go through, the novelty of prancing around in adult shoes soon wore off and they advanced to the stage stage of their development.
I guess we could have taken it as our cue to 'develop' such traits had we so desired, but we just enjoyed their antics and the laughter it brought. We never made it an issue, and it never became one to address.
When I was a kid we used to play cops and robbers a lot, along with war. The adults let us play with sticks as pretend guns, and let the natural progression of growing up take its course. I'm glad they didn't feel the need to get involved and feel the need to develop the shooting/violent aspect of our play.

Just as I cancelled Disney+, guess I'll have to stop ordering from Pizza Hut, which I have done nearly once a month for ages.
My principals that little children should not be taught the ABC's of LGBT stand firm.

A toddler would have a hard time killing someone with a hammer.
I wouldn't let a toddler have either... The difference is the toddler could not pull the trigger, but could drop a hammer on your nice glass table.

What you are describing is not this, 100% not this. Most normal toddler boys put on dads shoes and toddler girls put on moms shoes.

being gay is NOT A LIFESTYLE choice if it was it means they CHOSE to be beaten, killed, shamed , humiliated, thrown out of their families...WHO WOULD ACTUALLY chose THAT???

I have a child who goes by "they", and has changed their name. We respect it, their friends respect it, and it has been no problem whatsoever (this started when they were in fourth grade...they are finishing their Freshman year right now). I accept and love my child, not matter what they come to me with, and I assume most people do as well.
Talking in a neutral way, your child was taught that, it wasn't something that materialized from some inner desire or feeling. I really don't care what people want to be called, have fun, but its the in thing right now to do it. The part I'm a little concerned about is who is doing the teaching? Teachers are assuming too much of a roll these days getting deep in to more personal areas and using what they believe to be correct and there are a lot of nutty teachers out there that think on the extreme side of things.
Plus I have a problem with a person who goes to college becomes a teacher and thinks they know what is best for kids as if they happen to be the smartest and most experienced person in the room who in the end really knows very little about anything.

I think the food is much worse for your children's health than some book or trans event.
But, of course, the religious are going to see this as the end of the world and make a huge thing about it.
Guess what?
If your kid has access to the internet, they've probably already been exposed to transgenders.

Drag queens are just like blackface.
They are a jolly parody of the worst stereotypes of a class of people formerly oppressed and repressed.
Since we are embracing drag shouldn't we re-embrace black face parodying the worst stereotypes of black people?
NO? It's racist, so sorry.
Drag queens, and transvestites and flamboyant transgender are equally sexist and repulsive in their gross characterizations of of sexist stereotypes of biological women.
Here is the PERFECT example of a disgusting parody of biological women that I liken to as tasteful and "ist" as blackface. If you think this is just fun and not putting down biological women even though it perpetuates ugly stereotypes, then you must also think blackface is simply fun and doesn't put down black people. You would be wrong of course.
Another reason for boycotting Pizza Hut. Their support of ugly, regressive stereotypes of biological women when it supports flamboyant transgenders as normal and something children should emulate.

There is nothing wrong with that and I feel as though they can do that fairly easily now without being harassed.
Honestly, the people pushing these agendas aren't even gay for the most part. They are social justice warriors with nothing better to do than force the majority to conform to the minority.

What if you really are a black person at heart, born into a white person's body?
Surely you should be allowed to express this!!!
