This child was adopted and its impossible to know whats going on without looking deeper into his history. One assumes the she has both the resources and time to seek the best in mental care for her son. I'm not a big fan of gender assignments in the first place. Just the other day, I was watching Cartoon Network, and I saw the advertisements they had clearly aimed at Girls/Boys and I found both to be a bit more than contrived. It made me realize that advertisers shoehorn children based solely on their sex. They teach us what a boy is and should like and what a girl is and what should want. The purpose of doing this is to make it easier to segment them into the most basic of categories.

Kids don't come out all acting or wanting the same thing. Isn't it child abuse to shoehorn children into categories that we define for them? To a certain extent, I think it is.
My boyfriend for example, is clearly a man, but is very effeminate in some of his actions, like and desires. He says to me sometimes that he gets depressed because he was told that he is an abomination by members of a certain church. I told him he is fine the way he is and to ignore the outside voices that want to control the way his life on such a personal level.

I have never sought to exert control over someone's opinion of their sexuality or gender identification. Why would that even be in my purview? Why are so many people concerned with making people do or act the way they see fit? You are wasting you time. Work on yourself! Live your life!

are you a supporter of feminism?
