appropriately-inappropriate:

girlanarchy:

this website’s attitude toward gender non-conforming children and its universal insistence that boys who wear skirts aren’t really boys and girls who like short hair and non-feminine colors aren’t really girls is SO primitive and harmful.

how is ~othering~ children who don’t meet your performance standards for their sex NOT reinforcing oppressive patriarchal gender roles and expectations?

I will go one step further and ask:

How is signing gender non-conforming children–80+% of whom turn out to be actually just gay or lesbian–up for a lifetime of drugs and synthetic hormones with scientifically proven deleterious effects /not/ a form of reparative therapy?
