It’s so obviously insane to think you are not the sex your body is expressing. It is child abuse to name a child the wrong sex.
And if you are a Christian, it is antithetical to your foundational belief system.
These are some obvious abuses.
Less obvious abuses may be stereotypes that are SO tight that they may have the child wishing he/she wasn’t even his/her sex because he/she sees no room for it in the social structure. There could be room for emotionally precocious boys, for instance, to play with dolls in a Daddy role, not necessarily with GI Joes, yet hardly anybody thinks about this. Yet it might make the difference between the boy thinking he has to be “gay” or a girl.
And ironically it is not traditionalism itself, but an illiberal take on it, that is to blame.
Very astute remark!
It is sometimes stereotyped as “antithetical” in the church, but Christian psychotherapy is a valid variety of ministry. Pointing out some errors that it has made, can be balanced by pointing out errors that modern traditional church preachers have made: all have room to learn from one another.
I also believe that children simply grow out of their confusion. We don’t know how many kids were confused about their identity and are now fully-functioning people.
I shudder to think how Tom Boys are treated today! I played being a soldier, a cowboy and even a horse as a kid. Naaaaaah!
Don’t expect this victim to be on the news or talk show circuit anytime soon.
Please show me in any book, text, medical journal, or medical school where "Christian psychology" is discretely identified as a field?
I'd stake my retirement on this being just another lying homo-hoax. Just like the "no-tip" waitress receipt, the back-flip "gay bashing," or Matthew Sheppard's murderer's intent, these lies fuel their narrative.
I wouldn't even be surprised if some school "LGBT" counselor put him up to this.
and where were the parents to tell this boy he is not a girl in the first place. Sounds like the parents have mental issues too.
Girl scouts came to me this weekend asking if I wanted to buy cookies and I told them no thank you.
One of the parents asked me why and I told her away from the little girls that the girl scouts is all about a homosexuals cross dressing agenda and I will not give them money to promote that.
She said she had no idea and was I sure.
It bothers and disgusts me, because I’ve lived the “precociously emotive” part myself. Being treated like I can’t possibly be experiencing what I was experiencing, was literally a world class bummer for me. No, “gay” is not the only misstep possible in such a situation, though I won’t bother anyone with details.
The answer, I found squarely in Jesus relatively belatedly in my life. He’s the Guy who bawled (that’s probably the best translation there is for the term, not a polite wept) at the tomb of Lazarus before resurrecting him, a body that was not just dead but beginning to rot! And His Father heard... now if there is even a HINT of anything unmasculine there, it is out of the minds of stereotypers. God was able to pull out all the stops to the full diapason of compassion in full view. And it was not long before He was going to be crucified for this kind of fame.

It is defined from the church side. You are pulling rhetorical tricks.
A fact that the left deliberately ignores.Never mind the left. So called conservatives are shamed into accepting this crap as normal more and more everyday...And sadly it's working.
The Church has been deceived, and so have you. There is NOTHING from the Church’s perspective to recommend godless, worldly psychology to a Christian.
“...psychotherapy. It is decidedly NOT medical, scientific, or effective. “
I have a close personal friend who is a life-long Christian Psychologist (with a Phd) who would disagree with you.
I’m curious - exactly what is antithetical to Christianity about psychotherapy (unless you’re talking about Christians seeing non-Christian therapists, then I might agree)?
Jesus rebuked your kind many times, by pointing out that the “world” was wiser to many issues that were fundamental, than the Pharisees were.
Get thee behind me and Jesus, Satan!
Focus on the MOLESTATION of children as the primary cause!
Chemistry and cutlery do not change gender, doctor....
