Florida’s “Don’t say gay” law
I'm also not comfortable with this subject being discussed with a 5 year old. But that ins't what De Santis is trying push down Florida voter's throats is it.
Please spell out to me what DeSantis *is* saying.
I need a link to verify what you say, btw.
There always seems to be a lot of arguments when people don't actually know the facts.
While you are fascinated about 5 years olds hearing about gay people, meanwhile the bill prohibits discussion of anything in schools even to highschoolers which seems stupid.
No, it doesn't.
It specifically talks about kindergarten children up to grade 3.
That is roughly aged 4 to 10 year olds.
I believe so.

Disagree.
Children at 5 can experience gender dysphoria due to being Transgendered.
Sounds like a fallacy to me.
Let me think about that.
In which way do they experience gender dysphoria at 5?
Just my opinion, but gender dysphoria wouldn't be experienced/known at 5.
Do you mean they might prefer to play with dolls?
*I* "play" with action figures, btw.
Why is the subject even brought up with a 5 year old in the first place?
Did you know your gender at 5 years old?
I certainly knew mine. (As well as my sexual orientation for that matter.)
Why wouldn’t a 5 year old know if they were male or female identifying at 5yo?

I very much doubt you knew your sexual orientation before the sex hormones came into play.
Knowing one's gender and understanding the concept of variable sexual identity/orientation at 5 are two different things.
Why are you finding this so difficult?
No, it doesn't.

In that case I don't object to it. But I'm guessing the timing of this for De Santis is because he plans to run for president in 2024.

I knew my sexual orientation when I was 5. I knew I was a boy who digs girls. I had a crush on my teenage girl babysitter at that age. This was right after I learned to talk.
If I was exposed to knowledge about gayness and trans people, that wouldn’t have turned me gay or trans.

Oh, please.
"Crushes " are not unusual, but did you have an erection?
At 5, were you thinking about rubbing wee-wees?
Seriously.
I had an erection looking at a sock.
What is your point?
Tiny puppies have erections, but it is simply a reflex, not related to sexuality.

Pepe, please, understand that significant portion of WP members are LGBT - and, contrary to the stereotype, they're not any kind of ever-oversexualizing activists.
A lot of LGBT experience is completely not about sex. It's harming them to insist otherwise.

Firstly, where did I talk about "ever over-sexualising activists"?
I have spoken about teacher activists and included those who may be pushing right-wing narratives such as homosexual acts being a mortal sin.
Are you saying my simply disagreeing with Goldfish is offensive?
Is not the definition of same-sex sexual orientation contingent on sexual attraction?
If not, please tell me why not.
There may have been social expectations, but I didn't know as a certainty that I was heterosexual until I had a sexual attraction for the opposite sex but not for the same sex.
Is it harming anyone with my disclosure?
Am I not allowed to say the "Heterosexual" word?
You do see the irony, here?
People say there should be discussions allowed about sexual orientation, but when I simply point out some scientific facts, I am being pressured not to present my POV.
Please copy and paste the section/s that you have a problem with and I will clarify where I am coming from.
If you prefer, we can take this conversation to a private setting.

I don’t care what you doubt. I know what I knew and when.
I’m far from the only lgbt person that realized their sexual orientation at a young age. Go search the lgbt forum or google for others. Edit: I see kraftie chimed in to disclose he knew both his gender and sexual orientation at 5yo as well - what are the odds ?? 2 of us in one thread doing the impossible.
I made two separate statements, one about gender and the other about sexual orientation - yes, they are two different things.
Why are you finding this so difficult?

I knew with clarity I was a boy who found older boys attractive at the age of five and although I couldn't quantify it then as a sexual urge, that's exactly what it was.
