Don't
you think there's some huge disconnect (in addition to all the ways in
which our society severs connections with/between each other, Mother
Earth, people we're bombing, our values vs our lifestyles, etc.etc.etc.)
between those parents raising their girls to be free from gender
stereotypes and then labeling a child 'trans' when the child frees
her/himself from those gender stereotypes assigned to her or his sex in
order to embrace those gender stereotypes not assigned to her/his sex?
I
mean how can you recognize that you don't have to dress your girl child
in pink and sparkles, restrict her movement in skirts and heels, usher
her into appropriate playground behavior, career and work in order to make her a girl, but
when a boy child wants to dress in pink and sparkles, etc.etc.etc. that
makes him a girl?
I feel like Orwell's 1984 where the essential command is to reject evidence of your eyes and ears.
