I haven't had a chance to watch it completely through yet. I downloaded it to watch later. I skipped around a bit first just to see if it was worth watching later though.
Once again I'm deeply disturbed by parents encouraging femininity in their toddler aged & younger boys to the point it might be considered forced feminization or suspect that the mother may have "Münchausen syndrome by proxy."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%BCnchausen_syndrome_by_proxyThat's where a parent - usually a mother makes a child ill or actually forces/fakes the child's physical or mental "condition" because the parent thrives on the attention from the community, doctors, the hospital, & their staff as a result of the child's "condition".
I see the mother of a boy just barely out of diapers claiming the boy said he wanted a vagina since he was 3 years old. A normally & properly raised child does not even know what a vagina is until they're at least 7 or 8 years old. For a pre-schooler to use the word, it had to be taught to him by someone in the home.
Before puberty, a child is mentally non-sexual or sexless. There are plenty of Tomboyish "Peppermint Pattys" who grow up to be quite happy women with normal heterosexual relationships. There's also plenty of non-athletic, non-macho, delicate boys who grow up to be happy men in heterosexual relationships. And let's not forget that a child who seems or feels they are "different" may discover they are gay after puberty, not transgender. Before puberty, there is no way for them to understand the difference.
But boys liking prettier, softer, or more delicate things does not make him gay or transgender. A girl who likes toy trucks & trains, or likes to play baseball does not make her transgender or gay either. Liking pink or blue has nothing to do with gender or sexuality, it's just a personal taste like chocolate or vanilla.
I was born premature so was always tiny. Not only was I the smallest one in my classes, I was one of the smallest in my school except for the little kids much younger than me. I started kindergarten at 4, & skipped the 4th grade. So was real tiny in class. So I was bullied a lot for being tiny, weak, & good in school. Surely life would have been better if I was a tiny skinny weak girl than a boy. It may have had some advantages too. But after puberty, I did not feel like a girl trapped in a boys body. I just felt that bullies, & machos suck.
But before puberty if someone would have said with the wave of a magic wand or an operation they can change me into a little girl, I would have loved it. But after puberty, & experiencing the beginnings of sexuality, I understood it a little better. Also being a little older, although still confused & frustrated, I had a little more knowledge.
If a little kid wants the biggest ice cream in the store, you don't give it to him if you know it's so big, he can't possibly eat it all without throwing up. If a kid tapes wings to his arms, convinced that he could fly if he jumps off a cliff, would you let him jump?
There's a million reasons why a boy might want to try on a pretty dress or costume, likes pink, flowers, wants to be a girl that day, or just don't like sports. But it usually is not because they feel they're a girl trapped in a boy's body or transgendered. To fill a boys room, closet, & drawers full of feminine things at the first sign that they're not a super macho man, is forced feminization.
I saw the bedrooms of these boys in the film. Some of them are as young as 3-7 years old, yet their bedroom walls are wallpapered or filled with everything feminine imaginable. Their rooms are packed with dolls, tons of stuff toys, & all sorts of little girl's toys. Most naturally born girls don't have a room packed with such an overwhelming amount of femininity & girly stuff at any age. Their closets are packed with so much girls clothing, that it would even make a seasoned transvestite or drag queen drool. Did I mention the boys are only 3-7 years old?
Don't tell me they made a choice to be overwhelmed with this extreme of femininity all by themselves without some coaching, encouragement, or force from someone else. They are not given a fair chance or choice. They're being overwhelmed with a feminine girly side at a very young age until they learn to like it, or don't know any better.
Some mothers or sisters like dolls, & will turn the youngest or littlest into their dolly plaything. Some like little kittens, so keep their boy delicate & sheltered, even postponing their puberty to keep him like their delicate little pet kitten. At that young an age, it's very easy to brainwash/train the kid into thinking he's supposed to be that way.
Even more dangerous is a mother with "Münchausen syndrome by proxy" who can cause their child permanent mental or physical damage, or even death.
A 3-7 year old child or either gender does not need a room covered from top to bottom with girly things, packed with femininity, dolls, pink stuffed toys, & a closet abnormally overflowing with dresses unless you're forcing them to be very feminine. Those rooms are even too feminine for most normal girl's rooms.
