I'm not a big believer in strict parenting and I think punishment is usually counterproductive. I favour the more tolerant, understanding approach. But some people go for strict, and it works within certain tightly defined parameters. If turning your kid into a neurotic, but well-behaved (or at least submissive) mess is your idea of success, punishment works! However, the thing to remember with caps like this is that turning someone into a girl in their world is nowhere near the big deal it would be in ours....
Well broken bones also aren't the same thing they used to be, but that doesn't make it a good idea for parents to break their childrens bones. :)
I can see something like that to be used as somekind of therapy. Or even as "punishment" in case of gender queer children acting out trying to overcompensate, but this kind of thing always struck me as problematic. It's like a worse version of parents shaving their daughters head if she misbehaves. That'd also have people go wtf today even though hair relatively quickly regrows.
So this kind of scenario seems like it'd be seen as child abuse even in a world with easy TG.
Bad parenting in action? Turning your boy into a girl isn't a miracle cure for your fuck-ups as parents.
ReplyDeleteGreat caption, but I'm highly dubious those parents are going to get what they want. And the kid will likely be fucked up for real.
Thanks for the caption,
