Gay boy is OK

[scotsheather]

I know many have strong views about Butterfly. Something that really stood out to me was the assumption that the boy was actually gay, and the resulting abuse. Something I can relate to after being assumed a lesbian as a kid, definitely a tomboy, now happily married with DH but would be as happy either way. Everything from the dad beating him for dancing around in a skirt and pink top, snide comments from boys in class, insults for preferring to join girls dancing than play football with the lads. The grandad hit the nail on the head saying he might be gay but so what. In real life I've witnessed similar boys labelled as homo, freak, poof, pervert, weirdo, myriad of slurs that re-inforce deviating from masculine roles is not acceptable.

Honestly it amazes me schools turn a blind eye to homophobic bullying or even GNC boys isolation but encourage children to change gender. That boy eventually felt his only escape was to jump on the trans bandwagon and its no wonder so many kids are doing likewise. I don't even mean homosexual activity as adults which was the thrust behind Section 28 (which I campaigned against with all the vigour current id laws are being opposed), just its no big deal if boys want to 'act like a girl' and to say otherwise is only driving the trans ideology.

It is an ideal world that boys could wear dresses, like pink and sparkles, have long hair, dance instead of play football, whatever 'effeminate' characters and not get bullied at home or at school, but for me this is the root of the trans problem and more feasible than the legal fiction a child can change sex and get sterilised and mutilated.

Gayboy was the insult of choice and DS's school. It was dominated by football playing boys who bullied* everyone outside their circle. DS was bullied for liking trains

*When I say bullied, I do not mean hurting anyone's feelings - it included mass kicking and stamping on children, rape threats, grabbing by the throat and banging head against walls. When I talked to the lovely classroom assistant about it, she was very worried but could not understand what all the fuss was about because she never saw anything. A mother who helped in school was the same until her child was subject to the kicking and rape threats out of school, for 'playing with the wrong child'.

Well the whole reason the GRA came about in the first place was to avoid legalising marriage between same sex couples. It's not at all surprising that homophobia underpins a lot of gender ideology.

Absolutely, we should be tackling sexism and homophobia: extreme genderists want to build the world around them.

Melamin how sad. It doesn't need to be this way. Eventually it will be realised gender roles are arbitary. The trans ideology will only re-inforce them.
