I would say these people have pre-conceived ideas about what is "masculine"
and what is "feminine", which I find really objectionable. And you don't
hear worries about "turning girls into boys" anywhere near as frequently. I
fear that this is labelling what we conceive (artificially) as "masculine"
as good, and what we conceive (again, artificially) as "feminine" as bad.
Just my two cents.

No one wants to "eliminate the masculine" or turn boys Nicely stated...the
question has been similarly posed here before in response to the same
charges. I have yet to read a response when the "turning boys into girls"
claims are challenged as they are above. Just what does that mean?
