10/29 Gender Confused Children

Quote From: bresmommy

Why would someone choose a lifestyle they know will cause them strife? Why would someone choose to be hated and denied rights because of their sexuality. Sexuality is NOT a choice. It saddens me greatly to see people hate and judge people based on who they are and who they were created to be. Children are children and should not be judged or hurt because of who they are. If my daughter wants to play with typical "boy" toys that's okay with me. Because I support her for who she is. Not only does it teach our children that who they are is not okay it also teaches them that because they are this or that sex that cannot do something. Such as girls that play with army toys...my daughter could be in the military and succeed just as well as a boy. Now, as far as what the Bible says. We put to much faith in a book that was put together by men at a council where they decided what books could stay and what books had to go. Too much faith in a book that King James V had translated for his people so he could rule them in the way HE saw fit. Let children be who they are and love and support them. Quit hidding behind the bible or anything else and face the things that scare you or you don't understand.

Totally agree. People should just accept their children and support them.  Let nature take it's course.  Go with whatever the child likes to do and not make a huge fuss over it.  We should teach children to accept themselves first and fore most.  Let THEM decide what toys they want to play with or what their interested in, regardless of the gender stereotypes.  Don't put shame on them because they like to do different things than what "society" deems is acceptable.

 

maybe if more people did that, sexuality wouldn't be such a huge deal.  And whether people were straight, gay, transgender, society would be accepting regardless.  Just let people be.  Let people figure it out for themselves.  When it comes to gender and sexuality people are who they are regardless.  Playing with certain gender specific toys when you're young or doing gender specific activities isn't going to change a kid's sexuality. You cannot learn to be gay or transgender, either you are or you aren't....you feel it or you don't.

 

don't stereotype your kids.  I think people should always keep an open mind with kids and just allow them to be themselves and explore.  And teach them to love and accept themselves regardless of who they are or what their interests are. 

 

And if you think your child is having conflict.. allow them to figure it out.  in the meantime just love and support them.  If it's a phase it will pass, if not well then, it is what it is.
