Dressing as courtney and going on tv gives out what msg to little johnny from whereve
 

Cause im not very sure little jonny from wherever going out dressed like that is a very good idea.


Stay safe kids.

14 year old Jonny wearing makeup and a dress?

Why is it not a good idea?

SURELY you have to know what he means by that

Little Johnny can do as he wishes.

He would be slaughtered at school.

I firmly believe that you should allow a child to dress up how they like, allow them to express themselves. What's the harm in letting a little boy dress as a princess or a little girl as a pirate etc

Courtney just couldn't resist it, could she.

Of course Johnny is going to bump into Ann any day soon.

Maybe we should be teaching children to stand up to bullies and stereotypes instead of cowering from them?

We are talking 14yr old...

He is hypothetical

Never healthy to live your life in fear of what others might think.

The future Ann Widdicomb's in his class matter not.

It was to do with any young confused LGBT child, it has nothing to do with drag and Shane j even said that. Shane j is a great role model and positive example for any confused young child to show to them however they feel is perfectly ok rather than what Ann is saying

The issue should be how the children are raised to believe that someone should be ridiculed for wearing makeup and a dress

In high school an ex pupil would visit frequently, and he wore makeup. No one batted an eye lid, not anyone who was 11 or anyone who was 16.
Yes, kids will bully kids for being 'different, but that will happen no matter what they wear

And that changes Amy Jade' s point how exactly?

If I happen to have a child who feels they are trans or enjoy dressing up as the gender they are not I will fully support them to simply be true to themselves and not pander to fools who say it's wrong.

I agree, but going on tv and dressing up as a woman to send out a msg to 14yr old boys that its ok..well its not ok, cause little johnny isnt on a tv show..hes in his bedroom getting ready to hit the mean estates of basildon dressed as a woman for the first time.

But it is okay?

And telling everyone that a man dressing as a woman "is not ok" is really helping to change society to become more accepting of others?

Thankfully, the younger generations are raised a lot more open minded and are ever more accepting than the older generations. This will only improve as time passes. :love:

when did this forum become so right-wing...you don't even see posts like this on DS :conf:

It is ok to do it, but unwise and unsafe to parade about outside at that age.

But I don't see how it isn't?

A bb forum of all forums should be as left as it is right...and hardly political.:hehe:

I don't think Courtney was suggesting a 14 year old boy should dress in drag and strut down an estate late at night he was simply saying a person should have the freedom to dress as any gender they choose without anyone making them feel like they are doing anything wrong.

I agree with him and as I said, should I happen to have a child who is born male but wishes to dress as a female as it makes him happy I will be behind him every step of the way

It just seems a tad victim blame-y to say a kid would get assaulted for wearing something

Do you need me to spell out that he would end up either battered or emotionally scarred given time...little johnny can please himself but things in the real world aint all as rosy or as simple as courtney was saying tonight.
