While not surprised that Sherri has this opinion I still find it sad and disturbing. God help her kids if they're anything other than super-straight.

@inechiSAN You aren't making much sense. I'm honestly not sure how to respond to that statement, except to just repeat myself. Rape is not the victim's fault.

@NeoConNation Really? Why?

[NeoConNation]

i agree with chery

[mistersaintjohn]

I'm gay and my mother raised me to be who I was, no matter what. She knew since I was 2 years old. Every time I thought something was wrong with me, she said "Shut up, I made you perfect." She passed away 4 years ago and I will always be thankful that she raised me the way that she did. Sherri would have a rude awakening if she had a gay or transgendered child. I don't think most of us has any idea of how to raise a transgendered child. But my guess is not to oppress it from the get-go.

i agree with her 100% while a child no boys dont wear dresses but when you get 18 you can do what you want just the same for tatts and sex ect nothing wrong with what she said

I do think its a shame that Sherri would let her prejudiced effect her child's development. Some people dont understand how important it is for a child to have the fredom to explore and express themselves freely. This woman is one reason why it is important for a child to attend a good nursery. they need to have a safe supportive, non judgemental, non controlling environment in which they can find themselves and learn through play. I feel this is Very important!!

@spareld these kids become individual adults that we have to live with. people shouldnt be taught to hate who they are by the couple of people that should love them the most. You might think its non of my or your business how someone treats theirs children, or what someone else raises their children to believe which in turn shapes the way we treat other that arent like us there are alot of innocent kids involved in columbine and other incidents that would beg to differ. all were victims

[constantlychangin]

@spareld your right this isnt about you, but you said i put words in her mouth and i didnt. so my last was in defense of what i said. in respect to the children, i dont believe there value should be placed on what they wear, but i do believe that a parent shouldnt teach there kids to live in shame and go about life sexually repressed which will result in a individual that will be dangerous to everyone in society, men and women raise children so each should have equal say.

@constantlychangin now as far as being being a parent. If I can teach my child anything in the world I would teach MY child to not define who they are based on CLOTHES. WOMEN are not define based on a dress. MEN are not defined based on a tie. I would want my child to define themselves by what they contribute to the world. what have they done to help others in need and not be selfish. That my friend is what I would teach my child not to express themselves by what they have but by what they know

@constantlychangin First of all this video is not about me...and unlike you I do not watch the view, so I can only speak on the video at hand and she clearly didn't say she would kick him out. look this video is getting tired I'm sick of people trying to tell others how to raise their children. if she don't want her son to wear a dress that is her right she gave birth and until you have a vagina and give birth you have no right to tell others how to raise their kids.
