:u Like, he wanted to dress them up and stuff like that. The girls at work say they wouldn't, but I don't really see the problem with it. I mean, toys are toys. I don't see how it would negatively effect him.

I wouldn't care about what type of toys my children play with.

I still wouldn't want them to be taught about transgenderism in kindergarten though, it's too complicated of a subject.

No. He gets boy action figures and if he doesn't want to play with them, tough. He can get a paper route and buy his own girl toys if he really wants them.

I have an older cousin who played with them as a kid.

He's fucking ripped, has 2 kids, and is doing pretty well for himself.

I don't think the Barbies affected that in the slightest.

You should allow kids the opportunities to explore different things early on, while their hormones and emotions aren't there to fuck with their heads.

Ofc

I played with dolls as a kid (we called them action figures, though) and it was a fun time

I also played with my sister's dolls. Always thought it was odd Ken didn't have a dick

So like did metrosexual just become full blown transgenderism or something?

I never see the term used anymore and a lot of what fell previously under it is now used to justify someone's transgendered.

You can ask stupid questions, or you can do your own research. I know libraries are old-fashioned but the crew on the reference desk would love to help you answer this question.

Hilarious that you think it's not a debated issue and that there's just a clear cut answer here.

No wonder all your posts in the other topic read like someone parroting an article he read once.

I don't know tbh. If the kid is actually like that i don't know if i should not let him do that, and it could be just curiosity or phase.

I think the only reason to deny him from doing that is "i don't want my child to be weirdo, and the thought of him being a girl inside or gay scares shit out of me so i just make him stop and convince myself that it never happened".

I don't know what you're talking about. I'm directing you towards a variety of well researched opinions out there that I think would go a long way towards educating you about the nuances of your question if not answering it to some satisfactory degree. This topic deserves your sincere effort, not this flaccid trolling attempt.

My apologies, it seemed like you were just saying google it instead of asking.

I asked because I have googled it, and spoken to professors, and to psychologists..

I get nothing but mixed answers akin to what I originally said. Some say it's still a relevant term, some say it falls under justification for the person being trans. I asked to get more opinions since to my knowledge there isn't an actual, universally accepted, answer to the question.

Do they have any cooler girl toys? I'd rather get him some female X-men or something instead of some plastic bimbo housewife training kit.
