i haven't read the other replies yet, save for the very first one. let me just say as a young woman that i agree completely. i'm not heterosexual,
and it goes without saying i sympathize greatly with homosexuals, bisexuals, and trans. but seriously? i think that children are just that, CHILDREN,
and genders do come with certain characteristics that aren't really taught, and i think they should be treated like their gender until they're old
enough to question it by themselves on their own accord!
i don't get this whole overly-sensitive "don't encourage them" stuff. i'm glad i was encouraged to be feminine. i was raised to act feminine and
be a girl, and i still grew up and found out i wasn't hetero. being raised as what you are won't harm a child or teach them anything negative about
gays or trans. i want to pepper this entire post with, well, more colorful language, but i won't.
i just think kids are kids, let them be little boys and little girls, and when they are older and understand anything that might be going on inside,
let it happen on its own time.
