My feelings exactly, it would make some things easier, but would not want to force it on a kid.Fragment wrote: Wed Jan 08, 2025 5:46 am What would give me that right?
If they don't want to grow up, I might help them achieve that aim. If it was someone I was romantically involved with, it would definitely be appealing to me.
But if they want to grow up, then that's their choice and their right.

He castrated a boy named Sporus and tried to transform him into a woman. He married him with all the usual formalities, took him to his house attended by a great crowd, and treated him as his wife.

Nero missed Poppaea so greatly after her death that when he learned of a woman who resembled her, he first sent for her and kept her; but later he found a boy, Sporus by name, who also resembled her.
He castrated him and tried to make him a woman. He used him in every way like a wife, and, taking him to Greece and then back to Rome, he went through a kind of marriage with him. He gave him a dowry in due form and had a bridal veil put upon him.
The marriage was celebrated publicly, and the people of Rome looked on at the spectacle. Nero called Sporus by Poppaea’s name, and it was said that he never ceased to lament Poppaea, though he had himself killed her.
