I feel like if Mario Lopez had just used different words to make his point, people wouldn't have been half as upset. The use of the word dangerous to describe the parents' thought process, and all his talk about future ramifications in particular was a bad move. It could easily be seen as a way of fear-mongering. Never in his comments did he suggest that parents SHOULDN'T support their transitioning children, however, just that they should maybe not take the ramblings of a toddler as gospel. I agree with the main thrust of his actual comment, I just think he should have been more careful with his wording. In today's society, people start freaking out as soon as they see buzzwords. Things like context and critical thinking go out the window. Everyone's got a passionate stance about something, and living your life in the public eye means you've got to watch out not to prod anyone's sore spots.

Carissa Pinkston sounds like she's taking really bad cliches from the same book extremely conservative white people read. I'm not racist, i have black (in this case trans) friends, I understand discrimination, i was picked on for this not related and not at all as significant thing, I'm more than these disgusting comments, I'm young and dumb, I'm not fully white (in this case CIS, i'm 1/32 native american or black or whatever. Like my goodness, she has got to be incredibly impulsive and severely lacking self and situational awareness, to run through all those stop signs. Being black, with some obvious black features, one would imagine she's seen people run into these stopsigns before. so its really sad to see her it them face first so hard.

With the Mario Lopez comments, I am of two thoughts with kids. One, they can be extremely dumb (though that comes from my adult brain) in that they say the dumbest things and come up with some dumb solutions sometimes. Two, they are also very intuitive. Research has shown that children can figure their own gender identity as young as three (with the research showing the range from three to five. Additionally, they can come up with some interesting analogies and solutions to problems and situations in our world from their own perspectives. To that end, Mario, what are you doing (But I do know that he's walked it back very well and will probably follow through on growing from the situation.

I agree with Mario Lopez on this specifically. Kids don't know how to properly do anything, they don't understand gender identity, they barely comprehend stuff. This normally occurs at the age right where kids do start to see gender differences and roles, but they can't comprehend gender identity. It's important to teach your kids and be open to them and accepting of them, but if you ask a child what they mean by feeling like that it's not going to be even on the same wavelength as if you were to ask a trans person. Kids say word salad all the time, regurgitating blends of all the words and concepts they're being exposed to without actually meaning the things in their true context.

On trans kids. something really bothers me about jumping to that trans area. I feel that a lot of it is not so much dismorphia but gender rolls. I worry that too many people jump to their child being trans, when in reality, they are just defying gender rolls. An example in adults, umbrella academy and Klaus. Klaus openly and happily wears women's clothes because they make him happy. Klaus is not trans, he is just different. If we can all take a moment and not force our warped gender rolls on kids and let them be who and what they are. I would be more open to the idea of trans kids. For now, I fear they are being forced into a mold based off of an outdated role system.

OBVIOUSLY no one is going to pump their kid full of hormones at three years old but if you give birth to a little boy and when hes five he says I want to have long pretty hair like Barbie or I want to wear a dress like mommy who cares let him explore if he gets to middle school and says I dont want to be called Jacob I want to be called jessi or Jessica who cares just like some kids want to be called by their middle name or a nickname its fine no sensible parent is going to put their kids on hormones before they can even wash their own clothes come on but if they feel more aligned with female qualities dont stifle them because youll end up doing more harm than good

About children making life altering choices. Just no. The very vast majority of children/teens and even young adults are not mature enough to make important decisions for themselves. I remember what kind of dumbass I was myself and even the limited freedom I got growing up was enough to screw myself over in several ways. Sure discuss things with your child but do it mainly to explain what a bad idea they just had. Modifying their bodies should not be done until their brains are fully developed at the age of 25 (I include piercings and tattoos in this, although legally they can make such decisions on their own from age 18.

All in all I'm with her friend Wilson & aline with her more on that I'd support her till that lie popped out. She/we need more friends like that & hope she stays on through this struggle she brought on herself. Humanity is cruel alot of the time & even those that know this much seem to push it understandable though it is the breeding process for thought & extremes. The best example that comes to mind would be racism. black people have experienced hatred and oppression thus that hatred breeds within them depending on the individual that hate leads to racism a hatred or biased of white people or themselves & others like them.

I dont get why believing your 3 or 4 year old is bad. Its not like youre going to give your female child whos saying they feel like a boy at 3 testosterone. Thats not how that works. You can have a discussion with your kid, talk with a professional (and have them talk with your kid) and then just call your kid a different name and use different pronouns. Puberty is a bridge that can be crossed when you get to it. Your kid might be wrong and thats ok. You dont have to put anything into their body or change anything legally at such a young age. Idk doesnt seem complicated or harmful to me if your kid is healthy and happy: /
