“Above all, how much detailed information we can get about him.”
why is that “debatable” ?
I fail to see your point in these posts.

“What needs to be debated?”
Above all, how much detailed information we can get about him. Neergard seems to be rather articulate and open and with luck it might be possible do get somewhat more out of him than a standard story about bullying. There’s a huge deficit in case studies about pre-puberty “gay” boys.

Straight kids can develop crushes when they’re prepubescent, but since being gay has only to do with sex, gay kids must not exist because if they’re prepubescent, then they’re not sexual beings, and as such, can’t develop crushes on people. Their assertions must therefor be questioned and scrutinized, as if there’s something “wrong” with them.
What a crock.

I was not “effeminate” and nobody had to “expect me to have sex with men”. I developed crushes and eventually fell in love — just I imagine straight men do. I didn’t know what “sexual orientation” or “gender identity” was, nor did I care.
All I knew is what I felt, who I was attracted to and who I fell in love with. And it was males exclusively. Why do we imagine that that the awakening of romantic and sexual feelings are any different for gay boys or straight ones? The only difference was that they could celebrate it and I had to hide it.
