Confusing them even more with stuff that doesn't make sense even to grown adults doesn't seem like a good way to help them. It's also reinforcing gender stereotypes rather than telling kids they can play with what they like, it doesn't matter.The world is confusing, bewildering, and alienating. Mollycoddling kids by not talking about it seems like an absurd proposition
I was surprised to see this covered in the British press.
Snickers Spain pulls TV advert after homophobia accusations
The brand apologises for a "misunderstanding" after its Spanish commercial was heavily criticised.www.bbc.com
Snickers pulled a TV advert in Spain because it was deemed homophobic.
For reference this is the advert

The gay guy Aless Gibaja is a Spanish internet personality who then turned into a reality TV star and then he caught traction after that. He's had a pretty marmite effect on people ever since but the same can be said for a lot of the B/C-list celebs in any country.
The context of the advert is similar to the UK advert where "you're not you when you're hungry" or something like that and that bearded guy apparently turns into Aless Gibaja when he's hungry.
How is that homophobic?!
There's a whole new thread for this

Ok @Deebs - here's a safe space for this content ;) People being forced to resign because they once made jokes, weren't nice to everyone when they were pre-teens might be the controversy of the moment but the dawn of social media seems very much to have given the rabid left a platform to chase...forums.freddyshouse.com
One for @Wij - Top Trans Doctors Blow the Whistle on ‘Sloppy’ Care
A good pal works for Louis Theroux, he was working heavily on the new Alt-Right doc coming out next month. He suggested to LT that they do something on Tavistock but he said he wouldn't touch it with a barge pole.
A recent survey by the American College Health Association showed that, in 2008, one in 2,000 female undergraduates identified as transgender. By 2021, that figure had jumped to one in 20.
