Warning signs: Your child may have teh homosexuality
Is My Child Becoming Homosexual?
Before puberty, children aren’t normally heterosexual or homosexual. They’re definitely gender conscious. But young children are not sexual beings yet — unless something sexual in nature has interrupted their developmental phases.
Still, it’s not uncommon for children to experience gender confusion during the elementary school years. Dr. Joseph Nicolosi reports, “In one study of 60 effeminate boys ages 4 to 11, 98 percent of them engaged in cross-dressing, and 83 percent said they wished they had been born a girl.”
Apparently, if they had been born girls, their parents wouldn't be obsessing over their sexuality, so that really explains a lot....
Evidences of gender confusion or doubt in boys ages 5 to 11 may include:
1. A strong feeling that they are “different” from other boys.
(I always thought that kinda indicated that you were a superhero, but I might be wrong.)
2. A tendency to cry easily, be less athletic, and dislike the roughhousing that other boys enjoy.
(Also known as "at tendency to not be a bully")
3. A persistent preference to play female roles in make-believe play.
(...okay, that one would be a little odd if it persisted all the way through early puberty, but unlike this twerp, I'm not concerned about that)
4. A strong preference to spend time in the company of girls and participate in their games and other pastimes.
(also known as "a strong tendency to be able to get a date later. With a girl. Geez, you'd think they'd be *worried* about all that boy-on-boy action....)
5. A susceptibility to be bullied by other boys, who may tease them unmercifully and call them “queer,” “fag” and “gay.”
(I have to laugh, because otherwise I'd cry.)
6. A tendency to walk, talk, dress and even “think” effeminately.
(Dear God, my parents can now read my thoughts? I'm so scared.)
7. A repeatedly stated desire to be — or insistence that he is — a girl.
(If that one didn't clue you in already that your kid might be a little gay/trans, you may need some help with your own deep-seated denial)
If your child is experiencing several signs of gender confusion, professional help is available. It’s best to seek that help before your child reaches puberty.
“By the time the adolescent hormones kick in during early adolescence, a full-blown gender identity crisis threatens to overwhelm the teenager,” warns psychologist Dr. James Dobson. To compound the problem, many of these teens experience “great waves of guilt accompanied by secret fears of divine retribution.”
Well, GEEE, why the fuck do you think they feel "great waves of guilt" and fear "divine retribution"? It's sure as hell not because they have anything to feel guilty about, you fucking idiot!
If your child has already reached puberty, change is difficult, but it’s not too late.

Date: 2005-08-10 05:24 am (UTC)I've always proclaimed myself a tomboy and have a seriously hard time accepting "feminine" things that I don't personally really like. No I DON'T want to hold and coo at the baby, thanks. No I don't want to wear makeup unless it's a fnu color of nail polish...mostly blues and holographic shiny. Ugh, a DRESS? (though I did find a nice plain white wedding dress I actually liked with YAY holographic sequins!) I'm bi with a 90-something% leaning straight. All my main crushes were guys, and I'm happily married to a great guy. But dang there are some hot women out there (Alicia Keys, Mia Hamm, the lady on the Target commercial groovin' to "Don't Sweat the Technique").
I was only very rarely accused of being lesbian, and that was in college (of all places! I think my boy-crushes were obvious enough in high school) because I must've looked at my roommate the wrong way or something (and her guy-friends were digging for SOME kind of insult...though she knew I was very interested in at least one guy).
My interest in sports was only helped with my crushes being involved. Hey, all the more reason to watch! ;-)
But sure, there were lots of times I'd wished I were a boy, but a gay leaning would be even more frustrating than feminine tribulations and expectations.
