I believe you are all wrong. Moms do not want their children to have gender identity issues. We all want our children to be normal. We give our girls dolls and our boys trucks. 95% of the time that is just fine.
What if your little boy, innocent and pure as he is, only wanted the pink balloon? what if he begged to play with a doll or makeup?
Do you think forcing him to play with things he doesn’t want, or not allowing him a pink balloon, will work? Or are you telling an innocent child that he is bad the way he was made?
Science shows that plastics in our water and food affects the sexual development of soft bodied animals, including us. Studies have found plastics on the molecular level in every uterus they examined. Epigenetics is huge now as a field of study: the uterine environment of the mother goes so far as to determine the health and makeup of the person being formed within.
Be careful not to condemn children who by this form of birth defect have been wired with gender or sexuality differences. Use your heart’s kindness charity and mercy on children born like this, as you would for kids born with Down or autism or anything.
Yaelle, Have you admitted to yourself that some mothers are reliving their lives through their children? From the beauty queen ranchers to the cheerleader moms to the moms under discussion, I would suggest revising your assumption regarding the goodness of motivations of some moms.
I am willing to speculate that some children are born with gender identity however I can not accept a loving mother posting a picture of her male child dressed as a girl on the internet.
Unless these mothers are totally clueless of male peer pressure, male bonding rituals and the formation male community orders of hierarchy they could never do this to their male child.
Anyone who is at all knowledgeable of how the internet disseminates information must know that these pictures will be available to anyone who wants to retrieve and view them until these boys are long past dead (which conceivably could be by their own hand thanks to these pictures).
Your post is extremely bizarre. First off I have never known any child to have natural tendencies to be the other gender (I have met some who have been messed up with obvious issues that go beyond even confusion) but then for you claim to see it all of the time, and then you go on about plastics causing this or something. Do you have a credible link to that phenomena?
Do you have any proof of someone being born with a sexuality or gender identity different then they should. I have never heard of any doctor or medical test that could predict anything like this. I think you are promoting your belief of this and nothing more.
And then you state all of this as if a defense for mothers exploitation and promotion of cross dressing their sons? Why do you think that this should be promoted on a FaceBook page? Do you support this?
You said:
“Or are you telling an innocent child that he is bad the way he was made?”
“Be careful not to condemn children who by this form of birth defect have been wired with gender or sexuality differences.”

Reading your post again it seems as if you buy into the left-wing propaganda that homosexuals, transgendered, and every other type of perversion is a result of being born that way. Yet there is no doctor or medical test at all that can predict the future sexual behavior of new born baby. Thus there is no proof of your belief system at all.
Besides what other types of behavior do you want to defend under the guise of claiming that people are born that way (without any proof of such claim at all.)
If you choose to defend perversion then do it at your own risk. It is not though a good position to take a stand on though if you want to be here long at FR being that this is not a left-wing site and your position is left-wing.
Children will go through a phase of identifying with each gender, they will switch back and forth, first getting close to Daddy and wanting to be like him, then Mommy, and so forth, while they learn about traditional gender roles. If they only have a Mommy, they may have a hard time learning how to be male. Also, some parents may mistake a normal part of development, (that of identifying with the opposite sex), as a permanent desire to be a member of the opposite sex. They will then encourage and push their child to stay in this role. There is nothing wrong with saying “you are a boy and boys do this, not that.”
do we have a “bury” button yet?
We are born naked. Clothing customs are cultural, not genetic.
Cross dressing is one of them - they can do that when they are 18 and move into the city - in the burbs that *&#@! don't fly among the little ones.
There is such a thing as having a public persona - apart from little darlings feelings emotions dreams and desires.
A little boys public persona is NOT a “princess” unless he is willing to take the lifelong repercussions that he is, at that age, not able to understand.
I knew a woman who dressed her youngest boy in dresses and didn't cut his hair. It was SO OBVIOUS that it was for her, because she wanted a girl. As soon as he grew up a little he put a stop to it and he can thank GOD his mom wasn't posting it on the internet!
That was debunked several years ago. There are higher levels of endocrine disruptors in soybeans. Perhaps those moonbat moms were giving the boys too much tofu...
