Who said na ung kinagawian lang ng parents ang ituturo nea sa bata? Di lahat ng parents narrow-minded and di marunong mag adapt.. ulitin ko, parents can grow still alongside their children. Parents can learn sabay sa kanila just as they can learn from their children. Dont assume na ung parents eh ung pananaw lang nea ang itinuturo sa bata. Thats my biggest contention sa mag nagsasabi na parents should never teach their children. Sa cases na like u mentioned na majority ng Lgbtq suffers some sort of abuse sa pagkabata nila, of cors im againts that. Like i said din, parents can also be wrong just like everybody else. But that should not be a reason para sabihin na they should never teach their child.Perhaps, yung inimagine mo na pagtuturo is not the issue. Kung conversation lang na ang parent ay i-illustrate sa bata kung ano ang meaning ng gender noong time nila. This is fine if it stops there.
The real issue is what comes after that. What if the child still insists? With the view na parents=authority, this will lead to emotional abuse. Otherwise, when is the right time for the parent to stop? How does the parent know if malambot at artistic lng pla ung bata rather than their suspicion na homo?
At the end of the day, parents should also be on the learning end. Society changes, and it will, no matter what we feel about it. If we insist heteronormative ideas on children, we might be limiting their potential, because of our narrow view of the "right" way for them to behave.
Traditional man or mainstream, whatever man ang preference natin as a parent eh we can have that conversation with our child. And importante jan eh we dont make them feel like they are a disappointment or less of a person just because they dont meet or agree sa preference natin.Another critical question. Prefer ba natin ung traditional gender dahil ito ang tama? Or because it is the expedient option to turn a blind eye sa mga inequity na dulot ng heteronormative culture?
Consider the prejudice against tattooed people. Isa sa mga excuse nung mga prejudice ay dahil iniimpluwensyahan nila ang mga bata. Pero that community is merely asking to be left alone. We now understand this. How is this different to the gender conversation?
About tattooed people who are being judge for merely having inks on their bodies, im also againts that. But the thing is, having tattoos does not change their identity. Its just a part of it. Tattooing oneself with leopard prints does not make that person a leopard no matter how strong he feels about it and no matter how much he change himself. Same goes sa gender, its part of that person’s identity. And thats it.
