there should be NO threats against a mentally ill child, on the other hand, the adults committing child abuse, well...

FULL TITLE: Vicious trolls launch wave of death threats at family of transgender girl, 9, who made history by appearing on the cover of National Geographic
A brave nine-year-old transgender girl who appeared on the cover of National Geographic has been targeted by trolls, some of whom have called for her parents to be 'exterminated'.
Avery Jackson, from Kansas, was born a boy, but announced to her mother Debi that she was a girl at the age of four.
The nine-year-old made history this month when she became the first transgender person to appear on the prestigious magazine's front-page.
Avery's mom posted a picture of the cover online earlier this month, along with an emotional message for her daughter.
'I'm shaking so much I can barely type,' it read. 'Thank you for featuring Avery! #transisbeautiful.'

I am sure a lot of people over reacted, but that does not excuse the fact the these Parents belong in PRISON for Child Abuse.
In the long run this NatGeo cover will be a good thing. When this kid's "lifestyle choice" bites him in the arse NatGeo can explain why it didn't work out and why they played a role in his destruction.
You beat me to it!
Here, I’ll add this:
So un-PC by modern standards: “My name is Bill and I’m a head case.”
Between the ages of two and five, my cousin often insisted that she was a dog and wanted to eat her meals under the table like the family pet.
So when a four-year-old child announces to his mother that he's something that he's obviously not, the ENTIRE WORLD is obligated to believe it too..?
I. Am. Speechless.
He is a feminine boy. There are also masculine girls.
But she didn't push you off the roof to watch you fly, did she?
I wanted to be invisible at 6 so where do I sue because they denied my identity as transparent?
there should be NO threats against a mentally ill child, on the other hand, the adults committing child abuse, well...
First of all, you mean "the other sex". People don't have gender.
Second of all, it's not uncommon for three-year olds and even fours to wish that. They notice the difference for the first time, and perhaps see boys (or girls) getting something they are not, or being treated (they think) better. (I have five girls and two boys).
What IS uncommon is for a parent to say, "OK, let's cut off your penis then". The childish wish isn't abnormal. ACTING on it on the part of the responsible adults? THAT is crazy.
At 6 Salvador Dali wanted to be a cook.
At 7 he wanted to be Napoleon.
the vicious trolls are the ones mutilating this child for life.
How soon before Nat’l Lampoonographix does their issue on sex tourism in Thailand to see the lady boys?
my son literally announced he was Batman about that age. Another son attempted to tell me he was the Sheriff of Nottingham (pronouncing it “the Sheriff of Naughty-Man”
I did not take either of them seriously because I am
SANE
Yeah, I'm sure 150 years from now, Americans will know his name just as well as George Washington.
"Prestigious" by whom? NG lost its credibility a long time ago, and is now an anachronistic curiosity, nothing more.
I was a dog at the age of four.
We are canceling National geographic after 55 years. Gay kiddie porn.
Agree,
Kiddie Porn.
I will have forgotten it by tomorrow.
