Yes, let kids be kids and let them play and use their imaginations. My sister and I have had discussions about two of our nephews being lucky to have born in the "right time" instead of in this insane trans-cult time. We both agree that one of my nephews could easily have been caught up in the trans ideology if he was born 10-12 years later. He has long hair down to his waist, is over 6'4", and loves the color pink. He played with his little sisters dolls growing up. He is not gay or trans but a healthy heterosexual male in a committed relationship with a woman who has a child. Our other nephew loved the movie "The Sandlot" so much when he was in 2nd grade that he identified as "Benny" and dressed like him, acted like him, and even told his teacher his name was Benny at the beginning of the new school year and he was called Benny. My sister and her husband were not aware of the "new" name being used at school until the first parent-teacher conference, but everyone thought it was funny. They explained to their son that he had to use his real name at school and a few months later he stopped being "Benny". All innocent and no one made a big deal about it. Had this happened in this day and age it could have been a different outcome. He is not gay. He is in a committed relationship and is engage to be married. Had he been born 10-12 years later, he might have been groomed and gotten caught up in the trans-cult ideology. My sister and I were both "tom-boys" growing up and we played hard outside: climbing trees, playing with earth worms and making mud pies, catching ladybugs, chasing butterflies, raking leaves to jump into the piles, digging snow forts, and making snowmen. Could we have been caught up in the trans-ideology 50+ years ago if what is happening today was happening then? It is so sad that our children's innocence is being stolen and teachers and doctors are so ready to put a label on boys and girls when no label is needed.
