The Concept of Homosexuality and What Every Parent Should Know
First of all, let's define what "homosexuality" is: Homosexuality is the romantic or sexual feelings felt towards a person of the same gender; It is a permanent state that includes behaviors and perceptions. Homosexuality is not a choice; Although the reason is not fully explained, it is thought to be affected by many factors such as genetic, environmental, and the relationship between the child and the parents.
The concept of sexual identity is a person's identification with masculinity or femininity. Defining one's identity as "I am a woman" or "I am a man". This concept usually settles at the end of the age of 2, and starts to become clear around the age of 4-5. The development of sexual identity matures by being influenced by the environment, school and friends, and the games played. It is a permanent quality that makes you feel. A disease or a deficiency is not an excess. Therefore, there is no condition that needs to be "treated". Homosexuality is never, ever a choice. Just as a heterosexual individual cannot force himself to feel sexual attraction to his own sex, the same is true for a homosexual individual.
Children of both sexes can adopt the opposite sex role (girls play football, boys play with dolls) until primary school. as he wanted). However, this situation is expected to end when primary school starts (around 6/7 years old) and to behave in accordance with his sexual identity. If your child behaves according to the roles of the opposite sex in primary school and expresses this verbally (like a girl saying she wants to be a boy), it is necessary to be attentive, calm and not panic. For this issue, which is noticed at an early stage, it may be beneficial to establish a "correct" communication with the child and to get help from a specialist in order to create a healthy sexual identity. Despite this, for the individual who continues to live according to the opposite identity in later ages, families must first accept the situation and put the peace and happiness of their children before everything; It will be the healthiest response for them to show that they are always there for you against social pressure and exclusion.
