I have only had one experience. This boy was in the 6th grade and a classmate of my son. He came to hang out one day and played barbies with my daughter more than hanging with my son. His family was strong, manly Texan. His mother shared her concerns about what she feared when she came to get him later that afternoon. That 6th grade boy is now pushing 40 as an angry but surprisingly beautiful Trans woman. Small town Texas. Parents and grandparents the pillars of the town. Had to be rough. This one was not weird parents confusing a kid or environment raising a pervert. But then again it's the only one I have personally known. Take it for what it is.
