A core part of Flavin's argument involved a contrast with her own parenting style, particularly concerning her three daughters with Stallone. She referenced that her daughters were "tomboys" who preferred pants and sports, but emphasized that she never jumped to the conclusion of suggesting they were boys. This anecdotal comparison was used to reinforce her belief that children's gender-nonconforming behavior should be treated with traditional patience and common sense, rather than immediately affirming a transgender identity, which she seemed to link to the permissive culture of the entertainment industry. She concluded by stating that while it is "OK what you decide to be as an adult," parents should focus on raising children with "structure."
