a 1st grader is asexual. There is no transgender at that stage. It is my opinion that this child should be removed from this dangerous parent.
The mother should be arrested for child abuse.
Bump that thought.
He should have been removed long ago. The child has been indoctrinated.
Agreed. But they're more likely to give her an award.
Beat me to it. Generally speaking, I'm not for removing children from their parents using force of law or government but CLEARLY this child's parent(s) are mentally disturbed.
1. TRUE.
2. Sadly, yes.
There was something wrong with that mother child relationship from the day that boy was born that made him think, at 3 years old, that it would be preferable to be a girl. Though I know nothing about her situation, I could easily hear that woman saying to her friends when she was pregnant that she wished she was having a girl. And I can imagine her continuing to say it when she thought her baby son was too young to understand. I have overheard mothers wishing for the opposite gender and I have seen them treat their kids badly because of it.
Kids do not understand gender and sexual behavior as toddlers, but they do want to please their parents and they are extremely perceptive to adult moods. It may have been as simple as the little boy watching his mother’s reaction to baby girls or girl-themed toys or clothing and trying to get the same reaction for himself. It would certainly explain the mother’s eagerness to let the toddler “decide” something so life altering for himself when he’s likely not even out of diapers.
Her behavior now is only prolonging his misconceptions of himself. This will not have a happy ending I fear and turning it into a media circus that provides this shallow, glory seeking parent with a lot of crowd approval will only compound the boy’s problem when puberty crashes into him with the force of a freight train.
