I don't understand this controversy, is it not the case that the parents were teaching the child that gender is a social construct and
trying to make the child a better person? I'm sure opposite sex parents have done this before as well...

TRUTHNOW78: is it not the case that the parents were teaching the child that gender is a social construct and trying to make the child a better person?

No! Duh. If you know any Lesbians, they hate Males with a vengence. Socially they have to tolerate males to be PC. This was a case of redicule at it's worst.

If this was a case of a couple of Male Homo's doing something similar they would have been hung by their delicates on the nearest power pole.

These two will just get a, "don't be so naughty again" (don't get caught) & a slap on the wrist.

Don't play dress-ups with lesbians, kids. Everyone will think you are being ridiculed, you will be mentally scarred for life and society will crumble...

This is another example of how a politically correct stance brings "freedom" to a miniscule minority while trampling the rights of the majority. In this instance the "majority" are defenseless children, no vote , no say and no rights other than the socially engineered direction taken by the overseeing government department, filled to the brim with politically correct imbecile public servants who march to the Fabian beat. They do not make policy; they regurgitate the corrupt social engineering policies adopted from their Fabian head office in the UK.

Re the dykes, they have all the rights that a heterosexual couple has, and like heterosexuals there are those with competent parenting skills and those with lifestyles and ideas that are dangerous and damaging to the child.

That an agency can give a child to a couple who have a gender re assignment issues right now is criminally negligent in regard to placing the child in a stable domestic environment. One year after re assignment would be the prudent time to begin an evaluation into the suitability of a placement.

Male gender re assignment to a female finds the vast majority keeping to the role of heterosexual female with a male partner, they don't turn dykie and chase women. But in the lesser common re assignment of female to male, a large percentage enter into homosexual relationships with men, psychologists don't know why but I would surmise it is hormone driven, but why the reverse is not apparent is unknown.

How degenerated is this woeful socially engineered society the Fabians have foisted on us through the placement of regurgitating imbeciles in key community and social management roles. Kangaroos take better care of their joeys than we do our kids, but we take better care of their joeys than we do our own kids, that is political correctness in motion.

Dear Son of Gloin
Perhaps your vitriolic post reveals that you are a bit behind the times,
what is it that you despise about same sex couples who through no fault of their own are 'different'? Have you ever been insulted by homosexuals?, have you friends who are homosexuals, if you have, then you would see that they are lovely people, very loyal, and capable of bringing up kids, and why shouldn't they? Put your hang-ups behind you my friend, and live your own life without critising people whom you obviously don't know much about. I neither condemn nor embrace homosexuality, it is none of my business, and if these people choose the have kids, they will probably be nurtured into a loving family.
Do you criticise people with disabilities? probably not, what makes them any different from other people?, they are all human beings regardless of setbacks and all of the pain that life has inflicted on them....food for thought I think.

Dear Noisy,

What lovely sentiments. Most people live their lives,
minding their own business and are reluctant to interfere
in the lives of others. I've always believed in "live and
let live." Perhaps this particular couple were trying to
teach their children simply to have fun - and not indoctrinate
them into any particular gender "roles," or behaviour.
Children as they grow will learn to think for themselves
especially in an environment that encourages them to be
individuals rather than confrom to the status quo.
It's fine to think that you're on the right path in life -
but to think that yours is the only path - narrows things
greatly.
