I agree. This kid is sixteen now, and being an extreme tomboy myself when I was a little girl and even into my teen years, I always thought, “It’d be so much easier to be a boy.” Granted, I never thought of myself as one, because I knew it was asinine, but if I were a young girl now, I’d be pressured into transgenderism. I know it.

By 14, when I had my first serious boyfriend, I got over it. The same probably would have held true for this kid.

I was a boy who became a serious Christian in my early teenage years. Some of the other boys called me "gay" and such because I didn't wolf-whistle and butt-grab the girls like other boys did -- I treated them with respect. I told those boys that one day the girls will be grown and mature and they'll remember which ones of us treated them like ladies -- basically giving me the pick of the litter when it came time for dating. LOL

Those of us in the group of clean-cut boys and girls encouraged each other to grow in Christ, love God, love others, abstain until marriage, be wise in who we hung out with, be wise in career choices, etc. Because we didn't engage in the juvenile worldly sexual behavior (or at least most of us didn't LOL) or talk we all were comfortable around each other, including those of the opposite sex. If I was thinking about asking a girl out or breaking up with a girl I'd be as liable to ask advice from one of the girls as I would one of the boys. The same with the girls respecting me and other boys. You could say we were gender neutral in the sense of how close knit we all were and how much everybody respected everybody else, which included everybody respecting everybody else's masculinity or femininity. But that's doing things God's way, not the world's way. What the world calls "gender neutral" really means either "gender confused" or "blame the men always for every reason".
