How awful and how ignorant they are.
About ‘pups’ in pride parades - one of them, the one with the bushy hair and hat, said children don’t see anything wrong unless adults make them aware. Pups have always been there in parades. But if they did understand the the ins and outs, obviously, ( snigger snigger) that would be different… he said, placatingly, to show how nice, child-friendly, and reasonable he is.
If children have no idea, the point is that they misunderstand the pups as large cute toys, versions of those they know and love, or their real dogs.
So they will already be open to being vulnerable to accepting the ‘ins and outs’ if they come into contact with it. It is plain air grooming.
And no, 5 year olds do not understand transgender.
They seem to think of themselves as the great thinkers of our time.
