In fairness, I should mention that Ryland’s ‘true identity’ didn’t just reveal itself through her taste in toys and clothes. She came out and said she was a boy. She said it when she was two-years-old.
She made fantastic and nonsensical claims about being something other than what she really is — much like, for instance, every single other toddler in the history of the world.
Walk into a room of toddlers and take a poll. You’ll soon discover that you are actually — according to the self-reported data from two and three-year-olds — surrounded by lions, dinosaurs, aliens, princesses, superheroes, and all manner of other mythical concoctions.
And, yes, you’ll find that many of the boys are girls and girls are boys. It’s extraordinarily common for kids that age to ‘self-identify’ as the opposite sex.
In most cases, you let them use their imagination and have their fun, but you make sure to offer them the proper guidance so that these games aren’t taken too far.
If your kid thinks he’s a bird, let him pretend. But the moment he tries to jump out of a window or poop on your car windshield, it might be time to intervene.
Ryland’s parents took a silly thing that a toddler said and indulged it. They fed it. They snatched it out of fantasyland and made it real. Before long, poor Ryland was in the throes of a full-on identiy crisis.
They say that Ryland’s “boy phase” was more than a phase because she eventually started wearing boy suits and boy swimming trunks. “Started wearing.” Notice the way that’s phrased. You’d think she got a job, earned a paycheck, then drove to the store herself and bought her own outfits. In reality, however, one can assume that she only started wearing boy clothes because her parents started dressing her in boy clothes.
Here’s the thing about little kids: they don’t know what it means to be a boy or a girl. That’s why you have to tell them. You have to guide them. You have to show them. They are ignorant of many things. They are helpless in many ways. That’s why they have parents. If your daughter truly is confused, if she’s really starting to think she’s a boy, then you are only going to enforce her delusions when you go out of your way to put her in elaborate outfits specifically designed to foster those confusions.
Ryland — at the age of two, and three, and four, and five, and six — is much too young to even remotely grasp what it means to be a girl. How could she be in a position to reject that which she does not understand? She certainly doesn’t know what it means to ‘be’ the opposite sex. How could she rationally choose to become that which she can not comprehend?
She couldn’t. She can’t. She didn’t. She’s a child with a child’s brain saying childish things. Her parents took advantage, and now they’re using her to earn the attention and admiration of our progressive society. Harsh? Not nearly harsh enough. This girl is being abused, and we’re all watching and applauding. You know what they could have done? When their two-year-old daughter called herself a boy, they could have responded with one simple question: “what is a boy?”
If you cannot define it then you certainly can’t decide that you should be it. I guarantee that neither two-year-old Ryland nor five-year-old Ryland could even begin to answer that question. Being an innocent child, she’d probably say something about boys being people who wear jeans and who like to play with toy trucks.
She’s a child. She doesn’t understand what’s going on. She doesn’t know any better. But her parents do. And we do. Maybe it’s time we speak up.
***Now that they are in charge there will be more and more programs to take straight kids and teach them to be homosexual.***
This is what pedophilia is all about. They can’t procreate, so they recruit. The younger, the better.
When my son was little, he decided he was Gumby. He would only answer to Gumby. I still call him Gumby sometimes even though he is grown.
On the other hand, I have a 7 year old nephew who has always liked girly things - pink things and princesses. He might be gay. If he is, I will still love him as he is.
Freepers, even back on the west texas ranch in the old days, before the Marxists took over, some guys turned out gay.
For me, I try to take people one at a time, as they are.

At that age it’s all about what you can do and how you are treated, not the parts of your body. I can understand a girl wanting to play football, or a boy wanting to dance. Also I can understand a woman wanting to have a high powered job and a man who wants to stay home and take care of children. But what does that have to do with being in the wrong body? You can do any of those things without altering your body or insisting that you are the wrong sex.
When I was 6, I thought puberty meant you changed to the opposite sex. I’m series. I really thought that.
It’s child abuse.
There are lesbian parents in California with a 9-year old boy on sex-change hormones.
Pure child abuse.
He may be playing with girl friends in the neighborhood and enjoy their company or he may be more artistic than most boys. All of us have a spectrum of sexual identity. Some of us are more interested in things that are considered girlie and some in things that are more closely thought to be male oriented.
The thing I would worry about with the artistic boy is he may be more easily preyed upon by homosexual pedophiles than a more aggressive boy.
Sometimes "acting" like the opposite sex is just imagination and looking for attention, which he got because it was hysterical.
He's now a 20-year-old kayaking god with a healthy interest in females.
ewhich made it all the more amusing when about year ago,

Oops, edit fragments sometimes fall to the bottom, of the “reply” box, apparently....
In addition to Marxists, this nonsense is a gift to the zero population growth crowd. Convince enough men they are gay or in the “wrong” body, and what do you think will eventually happen to demographics?
