The poor kid just wants to play with the toys she likes and wear clothes that make her feel comfortable. It's the adults who have the problem here. The kid is fine.

I truly believe that in 5-10 years, this will be a medical scandal on a scale that will make thalidomide look like a minor case of medical malpractice. An entire generation of kids will grow up sterilized and with as-yet-unknown health effects from having their natural development impaired, and all because their behaviour didn't align with regressive sex stereotypes.

You don't fit the mould for your gender as decreed by society? Guess you're an entirely different gender now! Can't just be a gay boy with gay boy interests, you must be a girl!

Even boys that go on to be heterosexual men may have dolls. My son wanted his nails painted because it looked like fun and everyone was joining in, he gives zero shits about it now. I remember putting makeup on male friends and even boyfriends, not like drag levels, but it's just things that happen because of curiosity and humor. This was more likely to happen when there was a group of female friends along. We applied awful makeup on ourselves, and then them (or even let them put it on us), they wore it, it looked hilariously terrible in most aspects, we laughed, fin.

I remember I had a friend when he was in his tweens, put on a dress out of curiosity, it was out of curiosity and for the fun of it, to see what it feels like wearing a dress. He didn't get confused about his body from doing that.

It’s a massive red flag for me that she has a male twin brother. I imagine that he got comfier clothes, better toys, more freedom to run around, be noisy and do whatever the hell he liked, and she thought that she wanted to have a piece of that too.

It’s similar to how Rachael Dolezal’s issues kinda became clear to me when I found out that her parents also adopted black children who probably got a lot of attention and concessions that the biological children didn’t.
