Don't disregard the other harmful intent, which is a woman who desired a female child getting a male instead, and trying to turn that male into a female. The serial killers who started out with some kind of deliberate humiliation, like Manson, for being a "sissy," are outnumbered by those for whom their mother deliberately tried to turn them into a girl.
And the current batch of "child transgender" freak shows we're currently being force-fed by the media are all obviously forced by the mother to do what they do, whether it's "Desmond," (with an insane mother who worships drug-crazed killer Michael Alig and forces her son to hang out with him), or "Jazz," or any of these other mutilated, drugged, trooned out kids.
It's a nightmare this shit is even allowed and not awarded the death penalty.
I'm not talking about so-called "trans" children, though. I'm talking about boys whose parents let them wear what they want, even if it's labeled "girl clothes," while acknowledging that they are boys. There is no indication that letting a willing child wear a dress if he wants to, while acknowledging that he is a boy in a dress, is at all psychologically harmful, let alone on par with an abusive parent deliberately humiliating their child or a mentally ill woman trying to pretend her son is a daughter.
I absolutely agree that children who are identified as "transgender" are victims of serious, disturbing abuse at the hands of their parents and the adults around them who enable it. But I very strongly
do not agree with the idea that boys are born with an inherent hatred of dresses, or that it is inherently deeply psychologically damaging for a child to wear clothes or do things that are stereotypically assigned to the opposite gender. Context matters. Of
course it is abusive and damaging if a boy is forced to dress in "girl clothes" whenever he cries and his mother degrades him while he's in the dress and calls him a "sissy". Of
course it is abusive and damaging for a woman to decide that her son is actually a girl because she wants a daughter and he once touched a pink blanket, then pump him full of dangerous chemicals and destroy his fertility and sexuality before he's old enough to go through puberty. These things aren't abusive because a boy wore a dress, boys can be allowed to wear dresses without it being abusive.
That's all I'm saying. There's nothing wrong with a little boy wearing a dress, so long as he wants to and everybody knows he's a boy in a dress and he isn't unnecessarily medicated or abused by authority figures as part and parcel of wearing it. And society really needs to get more tolerant of the idea of gender non-conforming kids, because otherwise you end up with (a portion of) the
adult trans demographic: Maladjusted weirdos with fifteen mental illnesses, thirteen fetishes and an account on every social media site known to man, screaming and crying because a woman halfway across the world has an opinion they don't agree with.
