Boy, 12, Is Having Sex Change, School Announces

A school called an emergency assembly to tell children that a 12-year-old male pupil was having a sex change.

By Murray Wardrop 18 Sep 2009

The youngster arrived for his first term at secondary school wearing a dress and with long hair in ribboned pigtails after his parents changed his name to a female one by deed poll over the summer holidays.

However, the boy, who is preparing to undergo hormone treatment and sex change surgery, was immediately taunted by classmates who recognised him from primary school.

As a result, the 1,000-pupil school in south east England decided to call an emergency assembly ordering children to treat him as a girl and use his new name.

But parents have reacted angrily after some youngsters were apparently left in tears by the news. They claim that the head teacher should have informed parents of the matter beforehand, so that they could have discussed gender issues with their children.

One mother, whose daughter was a classmate of the boy at primary school, told The Sun: "She [my daughter] told me that the pupil is already a target for bullying.

"What has really upset the parents is that the school didn't see fit to send us a letter first so we could explain it to children in our own way.

I have a theory and that theory is that all these weird Brit headlines are the product of a campaign of terror on civilization by the media which would therefore have been pretty well infiltrated by the you-know-who’s.

Worst. Parents. Ever.

confidential to mom and dad: if you truly believe your child has this problem, MOVE! Go to some place where s/he is unknown and let her start fresh without the taunting that you cannot possibly control. But if you don't, then your motives are other than pure and you are ... [start from the top]

So now the child will be a messed up girl rather than a messed up boy, and the head-shrinkers and social-transforming libs will pat themselves on the back for another surgical success story. Child be damned and forgotten.

Emotional trauma isn't repaired by physical surgery.

I cannot wait until ObamaCare Public School Health Centers begin pushing this sorta thing.

My nephew, now niece, did that when he/she was about 14. Canada health care in that case.

What I will say is that the child's change was just at the hormonal change of youth. If you met the girl today, you'd have a hard time knowing she had been a boy.

Do I agree with it? Knowing the boy, yes. That was also 20 years ago when being a girl in boy's skin was not as "normal" as today.

I assume some child “psychologist” treated this kid before his parents made this decision. I wonder a) how much he got paid and b) if he had a (gay) agenda. And I’m sure the parents were, in turn, manipulated by this guy like so much jello.

My wife and I had a run in with a child psychologist a long time ago. We both left convinced that the guy was trying to take our son one step forward and two steps back. The goal seemed to make the patient more dependent. The other kids in this guy’s practice were absolute basket cases.

Apparently, there is no psychiatric evaluation for this procedure in [the once] Great Britain. At the very least “Mom” and “Dad” should have their heads examined for allowing a child to make an adult’s [irrevocable] decision.

This is the left gone insane. Not speaking about the kid or the sex change, but the publicity behind it.

European TV is much more racy than her ein the US, nothing shocks them any more. When there is no shock, there is no surprise. Likewise, there is no kickback, just apathy. These are sheeple ready for slaughter.

Zero and the Marxist commies thought that they could do the same here, but it isn't going to happen. Not now and maybe not ever. You see, the majority of Americans have deep in their soul a pride of country and worth that cannot be bought or taken away.

I know, because I left my home country to come here and feel the same way. Legally

Ordering them to treat a boy as a girl?
These people are insane and they are the teachers of children!
Once morality goes common sense quickly follows.

The proud culmination of years of British education and social engineering, I bet.

Now the British are able to do showcase physically what they’ve been attempting psychologically for years - castrating men from an early age. Behold, the Nanny state has given birth.

Sorry, but castrating a boy does not in any way, shape, nor form make him a girl. He is still genetically male, now just a male mutant. Artificial hormones may produce feminine features, but, he isnt a she.

The boy’s mother told The Sun: “We are committed to ensuring the very best for our child. We are working with other agencies to ensure our child’s welfare is protected.”


You failed, lady. As his parent, you have the duty to not coddle your child’s disfunction, but to do your best to correct it, with professional help if need be. But you have been abandoned there, too, sadly.

If your son thought he was a tree, would you plant him in an urn and water him daily, too?

I’m a bit ashamed, but for the sake of discussion I’ll admit that I had similar thoughts around that age.

Surgery wasn’t a thought and I never touched dolls but just saw myself happier as a tomboyish girl that still kissed girls. I first got the idea of girls kissing girls from some movies.

Part of the reason I didn’t start following through is because I knew my parents would never allow it and my friends would not be forced to accept it.

The feeling stopped around puberty, I’m 100% man and I love it.

I can’t imagine the pain I would be in if my parents and peers enabled those thoughts and I went so far as to get surgery.
