When Jacob Lemay invites you into his bedroom, he wants to give the full tour. He'll show you his books, the planets and stars on the wall, his bunk bed and the stuffed animals he's lined up all in a row.
"This one is Chase, and that one is Zizzy," he says in the voice of a confident five-year-old. "And that one is Biscuit, and that one is Zarzo, and that one is Cheety, and that one is Snowflake, and that one is Fuzz."
Jacob is a happy, healthy, well-adjusted pre-schooler. He has two sisters — one older and one younger.
But it wasn't always this way. In the beginning, his parents Mimi and Joe were raising three daughters.
When Jacob was born, his name was Mia. But by the time he was two, he was telling his parents, "I'm a boy."
Last year, when he was four, they made a decision: to let him live as he has always identified — as a boy.

She should have gone for millionaire.
This aberrant child cannot be understood unless the parents are evaluated carefully.
“Last year, when he was four, they made a decision: to let him live as he has always identified — as a boy.”
Because 4 year olds are so mature and able to make such decisions./s
Barf. I knew at the first “he” that they must be talking about a she.
Why are schools pushing this? Why???
School under fire for transgender kindergarten lesson

There’s no such thing as a 5 year old “transgendered” kid. There are only “progressive” parents who want to be popular in their social circles so badly that they’ll ruin their child’s life to get there.
Soooo if the child had “identified” as a puppy would they raise her as a dog?
This is stupid and abusive.
Idiots for parents do not help. This child is a girl. She can be a girl with male attitudes, clothing and a tomboy personality. She is nevertheless, a girl.
My daughter was never confused about the fact that she is a girl. As a youngster she did not like other girls but preferred the friendship of boys because she liked doing boyish activities. By the time she reached puberty she was solidly feminine and celebrated her girlhood.
Young children go through stages of role identification. That does not change their biological sexuality. Try though they might these idiot parents are not going to change their daughter into a boy.
They want to be thought of as one of the cool kids.
My five year old, depending on the day, thinks he is either Iron Man, the Incredible Hulk, Spider Man, Super Man, or any of the other super heroes that he likes. He must have either A) severe split personality disorder, or B) the imagination of a five year old. I cannot figure out which because I am a brain dead liberal. /sarc
I guess the term ‘Tom Boy’ is now considered hateful.
Just don’t say, “Uncle Tom” boy!
Wrong.
The parents need some mental help.
“Boys” don’t have stuffed animals...named “Snowflake” or otherwise.Has this girl’s parents arranged for their daughter to have anything sewn on to her yet? Have they arranged for their girl to have a wispy little beard yet? Have they taught their daughter how to pee standing up yet?
Ten bucks says that they're far,far,*far* beyond help.
I was exactly like your daughter. My neighborhood was full of boys so I loved doing the “boy” things. My mom was very supportive. My brother and I used to build model cars and I asked for a got a football uniform for Christmas when I was nine and played with the boys. I never thought I WAS a boy, I just like doing what was considered “boy” things. I still “liked” boys, thought they were cute and had girl friends at school. I turned out just fine.
These people are just nuts.
These parents see their girl tom-boy in the light of Facebook and their 56 gender identities.
Oh Look! ...she picked up a Tonka truck, she must be transgender. ...we must help her transform.
“... she liked doing boyish activities...”
A lot of little girls do this. Instead of a baby doll, they would prefer a truck. Not a big deal at all. It is the parents role and responsibility to allow a child their talents (sports, academics, etc) but to ensure that the activity is not identified with a specific gender. I have a friend whose son LOVED to cook at an early age. Cooking is neither female nor male. I think the HUGE difference is today’s society is placing a gender on innocent interests.
