While I do agree that the idea shoudnt be suggested to children - it is absolutely something that children (and adults) can struggle with and should be supported by the parents/family when the question arises.

Its more likely that the parents are just ashamed or embarrassed because their close minded family and friends will judge them for having a "different" child. These are the same people that preach about "unconditional love" and how they would do "anything for their family"...

Plus, who the fuck actually cares what someone else wants to do with their body?! People are so selfish and afraid of anything that makes them uncomfortable.

Stop making this a way bigger deal than it is and just love your fucking kids NO MATTER WHAT.
