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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

If the child really has a genuine issue they parents are negligent for creating a spectacle out of their child’s life. A real parent with the interest of the child in mind would take steps to be discreet about such a matter.

They would move to another town, and enroll the child in a different school rather than forcing all of the other kids to conform. This whole idea of making the other children have to deal will do nothing but make their child a target of ridicule and scorn from the other children.

Children are mean, that is because they are “Base Level” and they need to be taught civilized behavior. This poor kid, real issue or not is going to be torn apart like a lamb among wolves.

Just that aspect alone makes me want to slap the idiot parents.

The parents should really take a “wait and see” approach to this issue and maybe even see about delaying puberty a few years if that is possible for their child and maybe get a few dozen more second opinions before making a change to their child’s life that may be regretted down the road.

Gender Identity in the Brain is defined by the interactions of genes and hormones during Neo Natal development. There is also some evidence that older women who have had a lot of male children will have issues with her younger male children due to the Testosterone from all the previous males babies crossing into her blood stream and developing antibodies for it which will cross back over to the younger children, if the child is genetically male it can screw with their brain’s gender development.

What is really needed is a better understanding of how brain structure is related to gender and a way to test the structure of the brain for such things.

I have known a several people with genuine gender issues. One was a male who’s mother didn’t stop taking birth control (estrogen pills) until she found out she was pregnant in her sixth month (her mom was obese when she was carrying them). He has severe Gender issues, he told me in confidence that if he could take a pill to undo that damage and be happy as a guy he would do it in an instant and despite several years of hormone therapy involving testosterone which had no effect in changing his core gender comfort level he is in a living hell. He likes feminine things and despite trying to immerse himself in the male world feels like a complete outsider or like they are a “spy” living on the edge trying not to make a mistake in the presence of his peers lest his peers think less of him.

I think the best outcome would be to find a way to scan the brain early on if there is gender identity issues and check the parts of the brain that control gender expression. If the child’s brain has been physically wired since fetal development as a male, no amount of telling them they are a girl is going to make them think otherwise and vice versa. If the child is in between, give the child a firm path to identify with their body’s gender, but be aware that this may be an issue down the road as puberty approaches. Let the parent know to be Observant and take note of their child’s behavior.

From my own personal research and experience I would say a little under half to one third of the “transsexual” population are people with genuine issues involving brain mis-wiring, genetic anomalies, or inter-sexed conditions. The rest seem to be people with severe attention issues or sexual fetish issues. The sad thing is that the latter group seems to be the ones who end up defining public opinion on such matters. The people with real issues have to put up with all of the crap that the drag queens and attention whores on top of ignorance by the Old Stream Media. They just wish for a normal life and do their best to blend in despite all of the other idiots making their lives a spectacle.

Hopefully in the future some smart scientists will develop treatment to help conform the mind to the body and allow some of those structures set in stone during fetal development to be “re-wired”. When that happens a lot of people with this discontinuity can be helped and a lot of pain and suffering will be ended. In the meantime medical science will need to do the best it can to try to treat the legitimate conditions and deal with the crazies somehow.

Is the child going to be a track star? Seriously, what business is it of the school to announce this kids personal business?
