I do not understand what has to go wrong in someone's brain to think harassing children about their genitals is a good idea.
Even if you do not believe in the science of gender, how is this person's approach make sense?
As an adult I do not understand using children in this way.
The gender thing is just the latest in a long tradition of overly-aggressive sports parents. Parents have been freaking out at hockey games and dance recitals for as long as I can remember.
It's really just the same thing, but now with 50% more bigotry.
Like, maybe just calm down and let kids have fun?
I can get behind 'calm down and let kids have fun'
This is not a hypercompetative parent, this is a fascist zombie. The differences are important.
Part of it is the rhetoric that everyone is being exposed to from south of the border .... it's extreme right wing ideology that conservatives would like to inflame everyone with, especially older people who are seeing the world that they grew up in completely changed into something more open, inclusive, multi cultural, mutlireligious, multiracial and open to sexual orientation an identity. Nothing is more frightening to them than to see their old world change and they are forced to take either a second seat or middle seat among everyone else as equals on the school bus of change.
