In times past, if a person exhibited persistent delusions, doctors and scientists would try to cure the person of their delusions. A person who saw themselves as an animal or a different gender or a different person needed to be cured of their delusions and made to accept reality: that a human is not really a rabbit, that a boy is not really a girl, and that Joe Smith down the street is not really the president of the United States. In our more tolerant, enlightened world though, we choose to indulge delusions. After all, who are we to tell someone what their reality is? Transgendered people say that they are, in reality, not the gender they were born. This is their reality, and we choose to accept and tolerate their perversion of the truth. Of course, an adult can also choose to do whatever they want with their own life. But should we still look the other way when a parent encourages a child to cross-dress?
Dyson Kilodavis is a five-year-old boy. His favorite colors are pink and red, and he enjoys dressing up in dresses and skirts, and wearing pink lip gloss. His mother, Cheryl, initially resisted. But then, she decided she just wanted to make him happy, and let him be "a princess boy".

In times past, if a person exhibited persistent nearsightedness, doctors and scientists would give that person glasses. A person who saw themselves as blurry in the mirror needed to be cured of their eye problems and made to see well: that a human is not really a blur, that a boy is not really a blur, and that Joe Smith down the street is not really a blur. In our more tolerant, enlightened world though, we choose to indulge nearsightedness. After all, who are we to tell someone what their vision is? LASIK users say that their eyes are, in reality, not the ones they were born. This is their reality, and we choose to accept and tolerate their perversion of the truth. Of course, an adult can also choose to do whatever they want with their own life. But should we still look the other way when a parent encourages a child to get LASIK?
Dyson Kilodavis is a twelve-year-old boy. His favorite colors are pinkish blur and reddish blur, and he enjoys learning about laser eye surgery. His mother, Cheryl, initially resisted. But then, she decided she just wanted to make him happy, and let him be "a patient".

I don't know if anyone here has looked at this recently. But, if you'd like a good laugh read the comment section. Talk about utter abject stupidity in people!
