Sherri Sheperd on transgender children... agree or disagree?

I watched that episode.

I sort of agree with her, but then I don't. On one hand, it's her children and her house, so it's her rules until the child is 18 and moving out; that is her right as a parent. On the other hand, you shouldn't force a child to wear specific clothing; part of growing up is finding yourself and finding your identity, and restricting that is restricting personal development.

And NO, she said she would support her child of they were gay, but under her house until you are 18 then you have to do as she says.
 
I completely disagree. My brother, an uncle and most of my male cousins wore dresses and makeup growing up. All of them are well-adjusted adults (most of them straight, btw).

I don't see why it should even be an issue. If there's a situation where it may be dangerous for the kid to wear a dress, then obviously he shouldn't, but otherwise I don't think it should be discouraged. It's a parent's responsibility to nurture and support a child, not mold them into something they're not.
 
Depending upon your age, there is a good possibility that either your father or your grandfathers were clothed in dresses when they were babies. That was how they did it in the early 1900s.
 
I see where she's coming from. BUT you're basically not allowing him to be himself and that is wrong. To make a child feel bad about something that isn't harming him or anyone will most likely confuse the child and he'll have issues growing up.

The same goes for those weird mothers who force their sons to wear girls clothes. Its wrong.

Problems in adulthood always stem from childhood.
 
It's all well and good for parents to be nurturing and supportive. However, when children are in their formative years they need to abide by gender roles and by the rules of the larger society. These are the years they are shaped into the person they will become. I think most parents know the difference between what might be childhood curiosity and what can be something that is more inherent. I think if gender roles becomes a consistent and prevalent problem, then unknowing parents may be best served to seek the advice of a psychological professional to determine whether such behavior is a form of childhood rebellion or a bona fide case of transgenderism... certainly then and only then can parents come to terms with supporting their child with their issue.

However, IMHO fostering such behavior in a child to which such behavior is not inherent is just as big a crime as stifling tendencies that are indeed inherent in the child.
 
My thought today while watching was "if your daughter said she wanted to grow up to be KING of the world, would you correct her by telling her that girls can only grow up to be QUEEN of the world? Doesn't that place limitations on her goals and ambitions?" I am sure that she wouldn't limit her daughter, but I guess placing limitations on your son and cross-dressing is a different matter.

When I was younger I played both fem and masculine, more fem I would say. All the neighborhood was mostly girls. I would play dolls and stuff with them, and with the boys i'd play videogames, mario, mortal kombat, and doom.

I tried dresses a few times but i stopped i think around 6. it was just play and dress up. I'm not a transgender and i LOVE having my dick. haha.

I don't think its so much that gay men tend to have some feminine traits, i just think the world confuses imagination and magical minds with feminity.

I think lots of gay men love the arts, music, drawing, hair. We are creative minds and we like to speak our minds. More power to us for being ourselves and loving it.
 
Sherri Shepherd also believes that the earth is flat and Jesus predates the ancient Greeks.

No, seriously. You can find those on YouTube, as well.
 
I hadn't seen her before, but she appears to be a moron. I wore dresses until I was 8 - not to school, but I played dress-up with my sister, and she put dresses on me. One of my cousins would curl my eyelashes and put make-up on me also, which I enjoyed as a small child. The only sad thing was that I made a prettier girl than my sister did, but then she was a bit of a Tomboy.

No one seems to complain when little girls dress like boys, and I don't see the difference when little boys dress like girls. If anyone does, then they are sexist. I have a friend who let her son put on makeup and wear dresses as a small child, and I have no doubt that he will not be gay or transgendered - it was just part of play. Parents need to get over their sexist hangups. When I was 8, I was forbidden to carry parasols anymore, and I was devastated at the time and could not understand why females could carry them but I couldn't.
 
I just watched those two youtube clips.

Oh.

:eek:
My.

:eek:

God.

I am speechless. How can someone so stupid be on national TV every morning? Did the producers and Bararba Walters know that Shepard was such a Christian fool? Or did they just think she was funny? Because when she's not talking about anything that requires rational and educated thought, she kind of is.

When The View came on in the 90's it was comprised of three journalist types, a former prosecutor, and ONE comedian.
Now after a few over-hyped departures, arrivals and more departures, it has only one journalist type, THREE comedians, and one former reality TV contestant.

Barbara needs to find someone to replace Sherri as soon as possible. Someone with some actual credentials that allow her to discuss topics without making a fool out of herself. While she's at it, lets just get rid of Elizabeth too. Find a more qualified conservative to defend the right wing.

Sorry about the rant, I just can't believe this woman. :mad:
 
I liked Sherri Shepard before she was on the view. Now after hearing some of her crazy view points I'm not a fan of hers. I got a kick of of her saying in the clip that she would love her son even if he was gay. Then a breath later she says there is curtain behavior she won't tolerate in her house like her son sleeping with someone in her house if they weren't married. Well the last time I checked gay people can't marry in the US. I wouldn't have liked to know what she would have said to that.
 
DISAGREE!! Why do people assume that the innocence of childhood must be tainted by "adult" views?? Children are open to everything, it is adults that want to apply "labels"?!? Sherri, accept that a male & female were required to create your child, so ALL things are possible!! If a boy child wants a dresss, why not? Dresses are prettier than most "acceptable" male attire , so most children prefer them! Relax your sphincter! Mom & Dad's Love is the most important thing!!! My parents knew, but rejected, that I was gay - did that change my life one iota?? I'm gay & they are dead, so WHOOP-DIE-DOO - I'm still gay!! God's gift is a child, just love the gift!! Sorry for the rant, but the pain lives on.
