He would be slaughtered at school.

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

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

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

SURELY you have to know what he means by that

Little Johnny can do as he wishes.

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

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 think it depends really . Kids have fun and dress up all the time.
But we live in a world where if a boy dresses a girl people now automatically assume he wants to be a girl , or that he has issues.

I remember at school even when a boy said pink was his favorite colour he'd get laughed at and mocked, I know things have changed now .

But now I think people get the wrong idea about things , there's some people that still misunderstand India & Courtney .

Courtney just couldn't resist it, could she.

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

Ann was his example, he was talking about others like Ann who would judge and want to possibly suppress expression by someone,who wanted and felt the need to.

What on earth is people's problems here,that they would want anyone, younger or older to feel inferior or self conscious about themselves for just wanting to express,yes even publicly,how they feel and how they want to express same.


Honestly there seems to be a possible unhealthy obsession against freedom of expression which may include sexuality.
I can nearly just see possibly why there is an anti Shane J around possibly from that.

The possible judgements as to him and how he expresses him are really the thing most odd to me.
I don't think it's Shane J that has the problems and suspect issues,no way.

Oh God

Why read so much more into posts than they actually say.

Shane's full intention was to snipe at Ann again using some poor Johnny aged 15 to do so.

If it was not aimed at Ann, I could agree but it wasn't.

It wasn't even veiled tonight, I am amazed you couldn't see it.

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

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

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.

Can't agree with that.

Look at how unaccepting the younger generation are of democratic results like Brexit or Trump. The cry like spoilt brats.

And don't forget the older generations were fighting for these same rights before you were a glint in the milkman's eye.
