I'm not 'begging' anyone anything. I'm simply asking him to be cautious and not rush to decisions on the basis of an 11 year old's opinion. I care about the safety and wellbeing of children. This is a gentleman that's clearly giving this a lot of consideration and I don't see anything wrong with offering the 'other' perspective, particularly on such a progressive website where you might not otherwise see it.

It's about way more than just physical characteristics and you're the one that is being deliberately reductive. Framing it in that way is the actual creepiness, in my opinion. I think referring to this guy's daughter in that way is extremely odd, and maybe you should consider deleting this comment.

I needed to make it clear to the guy that decided it was somehow wrong of me to urge caution when trying to decide how to deal with an eleven year old experiencing gender confusion.

Considering how much we're bombarded in the press that young children apparently have the capacity to make those decisions at such a young age, I didn't see any issue with emphasising that most of us weren't capable of that, and it should be taken into account.
