I do, but not within the framing you've constructed.
What age does it stop being abuse?
As a parent, I don't agree with your premises, no.Irrelevant given the context of the thread. I will also ask, do you agree with the premise that kids should be prevented from having sex before a general level of maturity? If yes, then how is this type of gender activity not something kids should be held back from for the same reasons?
Because dressing up isn't sex. No risks involved beyond giving assholes the creeps, and the only "emotional" issues pointed to so far can be traced to the potential and reality of being bullied by assholes.[something silly]

Also, I'm making it relevant to the thread: what age is it no longer abuse to permit it? Also, how do you stop it?
I think ralibrad is suppressing something or dealing with something within their family. Sexual identity in children really seems to bring him out. Get ready for a never ending pedantic debate.
its funny, i see organized religion as abuse and use, so whatevs.Not exactly raising up a child in the way they should go is it?

Yes, and Facebook isn't known and constantly mocked for people portraying their life as amazing - but in actuality living in depression.... Nope... never heard that one....
The kid will commit suicide by about mid-twenties due to this bullshit. It's just attention whoring 101. One of the first things on the first video of that Facebook page... "Desmond's 2018 Predictions" followed by "The biggest movie this year will be about me!" speaks for itself.
To each their own, you guys can embrace this all you want - the end result will be depression because this isn't about expressing yourself, opening up, whatever other bullshit you want to call it. It's simply attention whoring from a child. Then the real world hits them on the face - because it's no longer about how popular you are in school. No one gives a shit when it comes to the real world, and thats when they lose it.
Well at least a priest isn't involved or we'd both be worried.its funny, i see organized religion as abuse and use, so whatevs.
As a sexual abuse victim, yes I find the topic important as well as interesting.
The damage comes from an identity that is more or less given by influence rather than what comes from the self.
Sexual abuse is serious and I'm can't imagine the pain you've had to deal with. But this thread and this topic is a mountain out of mole hill. This is about how a kid sees their gender which is not the same as the act of sex or the encouraging this child to engage in sexual activity.
So piecing this together then... It's not sex, but it's analogous for harm or risk analysis, since they're nothing alike, and something about the integrity of your identity's development being compromised. Is that about right? Is you for real?
Gender as a concept is something well beyond a kid that is 10. They can start to explore it in many ways, but dressing and being around others at that age seems to be a bit too far and can be an influence given the nature of peep pressure. This is simply too young of an age for this type of activity.
it doesnt have to be, but its taught from early ages, reinforced using the very basic and built in emotional amd survival instincts, and not presented as a choice. its fact, and all others are wrong. not all organizations press religion like this, but its definitely the majority.Abuse is on a spectrum which should not be forgotten. I do agree that religion and the churches that are associated often do constitute as abuse to me.
Completely serious question, your peer reviewed research to support this is where?
Do you have anything to support this statement?Gender as a concept is something well beyond a kid that is 10.

I agree with this. When they get older and are able to make choices for themselves independent of peer pressures or influences then its their right to do so.Gender as a concept is something well beyond a kid that is 10.

I said it plainly. I don't agree with your premises.Given my premise you dont agree that kids should have sex, or you dont agree with my premise?
