I'm ok with this freak show as this is who my kids will compete with in life.

Carry every idea to it's logical extreme, clamor for acceptance every step of the way, and than add a few more nuanced ideas ideas that stretch the imagination....and that's pretty much where we're headed. Different ideas from normal, good or bad, are all based on one step from "normal" at a time, incrementalism if you will.

Once we let the genie out of the bottle, there is not telling where we'll end up, but if you protest, even a little, we'll call you all sorts of nasty names.

We could be talking about capitalism, religion, politics or sexuality here....it's all from the same playbook and it all happens the same way. That's why our fist thought needs to be, where will this end up if we let this one societal/cultural/political/moral/legal "rule" go, can we live with that, can society function when this ends up at it's logical extreme (because it will and always does....eventually), is the potential payback worth the risk, what if this movement goes off the rails, how much societal/cultural collateral damage will there be ?

This is weird but whatever. People can do to their children as they like (within the law) and live with the consequences of how it all turns out, just like the rest of us.

This is the slippery slope we speak of so often.

Personally, I just think this is some publicity stunt to get money.

What if the kid decides he is catholic or protestant but his parents are jewish or atheists ? The parents have no right to force their religious beliefs on him or to deny him the right to worship as he sees fit. Likewise the child could be a Trump supporter and if they are liberals they'd have to allow her to wear that MAGA hat.
This all comes down to stripping people of their identity under the banner of a fake campaign to promote diversity.

"Stripping people of their identity" via attacks on gender identity ("toxic masculinity"), cultural identity, racial identity ("white privilege"), religious identity (everything but Muslim, that is), and national identity (open borders)? You've got something there.
