To all those who just don't get it!

*Scenerio for you* If a child was going into school as a boy (say 8 year old) let's call him Sam. Then say six months later he turned around and said he wanted to dress as a girl and be called Sarah. All his friends and peers have ONLY ever known him as Sam. Now you tell me how a school/ teachers then explain that to a classroom of 30+ children who are 7/8 years old? Then to a school of say 600 children who have 4/5 years olds in reception? WITHOUT causing confusion??? Love to hear how anyone here questioning my concerns, would tackle that situation to ensure EVERY child can FULLY understand how, why, Sam has changed!?

The biggest issue here are the parents. The school and its teachers can explain as much as they want as long as there's transphobic parents that raise their children in their own believes. @Gloomy explained it very well already. As for those in the younger classes, they'll likely never become aware of the transition. In a school of 600 children, in classes of 30+ children they will mostly be aware on the children on their own school level. And yes, I got children myself and know about the dynamics in schools and among children.

Can I ask a personal question? Why are you so obsessed with the LGBTQ community? I mean you mask your questions in various ways, but basically they're all about the same, singling out LGBTQ as an issue in the society and us best not being allowed to be a part of society, why this hate? What did anyone of us do to you?

@pillowprincess No hate. I believe everyone should be able to live in whichever way makes them happy. I don't agree though that people should be attacked for voicing concerns regarding children, or for wanting to understand why having a differing viewpoint is a problem? If the LGBTQ wants society to be fully accepting surely they need to understand that people will question? It's human nature/curiosity.

I am glad you took the time to review Gloomy's post and remark on it... I also think you said it very well ...

I really thought Gloomy was patient and thoughtful and explained it very well, even though she was being attacked for not having kids or not answering the point , even though she did multiple times ,,, ,

Even though , all this post really is , is hypothetical claptrap ...
@Lanie78
You didn't reply in depth on my question. It's vague excuses of keep doing what you've done during your stay here, and what I was questioning you on, to get an understanding where your hatred comes from. You may try to cover it under concerns and worries, it won't change the fact that it's based in hatred/phobia.

You see, I don't believe people should be attacked for who they are, simply coz some people, you among them won't understand, or live up to your own words of "everyone should be able to live in whichever way makes them happy." At a time people were looking at autism the same way you look at LGBTQ, do you still think that's how we should treat people with autism, and that's how we show acceptance and inclusiveness in society on equal terms?

@pillowprincess Like I've said countless of times I don't hate. Yet people keep assuming that me posting about the topic constitutes hate? Is discussing the topic hateful then? I'm confused.
@Lanie78
How come you deflect the second part of my thoughtful reply to you, the one including autism?

Btw, what you say about "don't hate" won't matter much when your actions speak for themselves. You've yet to explain where it all comes from. You keep avoiding all the questions you don't like. Maybe coz you know it will show your hatred/phobia, I can't tell as you won't let us in which is also why we can only judge you on your public presence here... Which is hateful/phobic in a backhanded way, no matter how much you try to mask it under discussing a topic.

One of the questions you avoided was, why this obsession on LGBTQ?

@pillowprincess I think my answers are self explanatory. I don't need to dissect or scrutinize people's comments. That's unhealthy and says to me that those who do this are searching for answers themselves. Unsure in their own outlook 🤷
@Lanie78
It's called deflection and avoiding to give people a real understanding where you're are coming from, at best. At worst, it's an effort to hide your true motives behind your obsession.

However, it leaves us with no other way to look at you and your posts as an orchestrated effort in undermining LGBTQ in achieving equality in society, no matter how you "dress the wolf in women's clothes" [to stay in a trans universe, and include a fairytale, Little Red Riding Hood as a metaphor for your behavior].

@pillowprincess If someone decided they wanted to live as the opposite sex I wouldn't expect them to have to justify their reasons for it. If it makes them happy then that's all that needs to be said. Same with same sex couples. Love is love. So why do I have to justify my reasons for wanting to discuss this topic? Or for showing concern when it comes to children and the LBGTQ communities? I keep being labelled here. All I get from those opposing my views is hate, and that I must instantly be against everything to do with the topic. Not the case, nor should anyone assume it.

@Lanie78

How pretel , is it unhealthy to scrutinize something that you read ? And to dissect , or determine its worth or contribution .. How is that unhealthy ?

If a modern article was written 'The Earth is Flat '....I think it would be in my best interest to scrutinize it , as the next around the world trip I take , I may not be coming home .. 😉

@BobbyMoeven People take everything out of context. Of course it's healthy to question, not to the extent though many do here.
@Lanie78
Words are cheap, actions less.

Therein you'll find the response on the opposition you find to your posts. It's not hateful to argue you on this topic, not even calling you out as long as you won't let us understand what's your motive for your unhealthy obsession with LGBTQ.

And this far, you've still reflected to answer on my parallel to autism. I guess there's reasons for that deflection as well.
