If you worried about your step kid being trans then you not ready for a kid at all

Yeah, he's just a kid he honestly just really like frozen. Kids don't think about that stuff. It's just a rough situation.

just get him a different gift. hes a kid, he'll see something else in another store and that'll be the next gift he wants. kids flip flop like a mfer whe it comes to toys lol

Imagine somebody got a s***change operation then decided you know what i think im going back

Its had to happen atleast once

Not tryna make “transphobic” jokes either i always wanted to know if its possible for a trans man to get operated

I understand p**** to vagina but is vagina to p**** possible?

Off topic

I find the shift very confusing. The site was pretty centrist when I joined, over the years its completely shifted to the left and become an echo chamber.

Ya know a 4 year old boy wanting to wear a dress sounds much less worse than a rapist deadbeat

On the real though man it just seems like the kid likes playing dress up. I'm sure if you introduce him to Pokemon or some s*** he'd wanna dress up like Pikachu, so on and so forth.

Probably cause of Trump

Do you mind giving a more in-depth answer of why you think OP is right? Curious specifically because you mentioned that KTT is "typically extreme left."

imo the only wrong choice u made was saying you were gonna do something then not following thru (since it seems you didn’t get the boy anything anyway (an issue because you said you would))

That being said if u start drinking Bc she mad u didn’t buy her son a dress bc she told u to, you’re seriously being a b**** (i bet she didn’t buy it either )

Wish the two of you the best though for real

im not buying the dress for her 4yr old son or daughter

wouldn’t buy that nigga a snicker bar

Refer to my post on pg 5. I explain the rational behind the a***ogy

you’re making it weird by restricting it. kids will learn on their own as they grow up. barriers don’t do anything, but make them even more curious.

Sounds like something i would jus ignore

🤣

🤣

The way I understand the OP, is that- while you say that you didn’t want your son to be thinking about gender and didn’t want to facilitate anything- you did in fact facilitate a particular way of thinking by outlawing the dress, which implicitly communicates to him your perspective on what’s right for men/boys.

I suppose that’s your prerogative, I just wish people didn’t treat supporting heteronormativity as a neutral action- bc it’s not

if the child was like even in their teen years i'd understand this argument better but there's no way the 4 year old is processing this situation on any deeper level than "can't dress up as Elsa at home"

It’s true, I can’t know for certain what the child did or didn’t- I just know that children think and ask a lot of questions about what’s going on around them. Maybe they ask a parent, maybe a friend, maybe a teacher, maybe they just let it ruminate in their head- but 4 years isn’t too old to reflect on s*** or recognize when something interesting has occurred (even if too young to understand the full implications) imo.

I would at least say children have solid reflective capacities prior to being a teen, maybe not 4- hard to say. But beyond reflection, they are definitely getting conditioned one way or the other. You make a fair point tho

And perma anyone who disagrees with this

I wouldn’t buy a dress for a four year old boy either.

You been seeing her for 7 years and the kids 4 and not yours?

You can do that but im not having any part of it type beat i dont see the big deal

You weren't wrong.

I'm not letting my 4 year old son dress like this.

He can make his own decisions on that when he's older.
