Speaking of heinous magazines…
No, it’s not harming her to allow her to wear “boy clothes” rather than tu-tus and baby high heels.
Calls her “John?” Riiiiight.

The thing is, even if everything on this cover was true, maybe, you know … the child is trans? And has parents who are enlightened and kind enough to be okay with that?
I know, I know! What kind of nonsense talk is this???? Children can’t be trans!
Except, you know, that they can. And they are.
None of this is to say that I do believe the stuff written on this cover is true. I tend to not believe anything I see on a tabloid cover in a supermarket line (haven’t Brad and Angelina been breaking up every week for like a year now?). My feeling is that they most likely took a picture of a child looking somewhat androgynous, and then they made a bunch of crap up. What I’m saying is that they’re acting like if it is true, there’s automatically a huge problem. When really, it would likely be the opposite.
