I understand your point of view, but I respectfully disagree on both the issue being distinctly different & that the only way for a child to be affected is if she was conditioned to be so.

The times I took my nieces to the public playgrounds afforded me several opportunities to observe small children playing naturally without adult meddling, as the Social Justice issues aren't present here YET, and I can tell you that there is an intrinsic knowledge that they are different, that is to say, girls behave, act & view themselves as different from the boys & vice versa.

In fact, the natural order of things, without white guilt interference, is that we are programmed to notice the differences from early on, even if we don't know why or how.

This leads me to conclude that what's currently happening in the United States is nothing short of psychological violence against children, because they are being FORCED by ADULTS to be equal, against their own natural instincts.

This, of course, leads to confusion in the children's mind, which are then brutally persuaded to allow themselves to be mutilated, just so the adults that should instead be protecting them can feel good about themselves.

The fact that there is a very tiny percentage of children who will eventually identify themselves as a different gender is no excuse for these vicious attacks on minds of the majority of children.

As noted a few post above, there's finally pro-gay groups coming forward with conclusive studies that this kind of brutality is wrong & should not be allowed to continue.
