This is so real. Clearly environmental substances are destroying our brains, starting with our sexual-gender- function. This is happening more and more. This little child is a PERSON. They’ve thought about it and they do not feel like people who FEEL BOY or GIRL due to the proper brain functioning. The child is being honest in describing the sensations from his brain.
Don’t blame the parents. Don’t blame the culture. Watch little children grow from babies and see that they all are built the way they are. Gd doesn’t make mistakes. But people do with the plastics and toxins in our food and all around us. WE HAVE MADE SOME BAD MISTAKES and I’m not sure what all they are. Nearly every western young woman’s uterus tests positive for bisphenol-a. THAT IS VERY BAD. We can’t grow our tiny embryo cells into strong humans in a petroleum soup. There are a lot of toxins in vaccines. No newborn child should receive ANY. Their bacterial biome isn’t ready for that kind of assault until at least one year old, better, two. No vaccines should be given until then. Babies should be kept close to the parent’s body until then.
We are really dumb as a species sometimes, not even insuring healthy surrounding for ourselves and our babies.
All these gender problems are neurological function problems. They are as real as diabetes and Down syndrome. Don’t mock them or their parents unless you’d also mock kids with Down syndrome or diabetes.
I think I'll blame the parents and the culture.
I do know there's a lot of bad $#!+ in the environment that can affect our little younglings in their vulnerable early developmental stages. A quick google on keywords like "bisphenol-a," "endocrine disruptors," "xenoestrogen," and some combination of "oral contraceptives effluent groundwater watershed" will turn up a lot of disturbing stuff, including the fact that there are MALE fish and amphibians in river environments all over the USA which are now developing egg proteins in their testicles, and the sperm count is dropping precipitously for HUMAN MALES all over the globe.
This is not caused by bad parental values and People Magazine.
However.
In these cases of 10-year-old girls thinking they'd kinda maybe rather be boys, and vice-versa, it is rarely or never claimed that there is anything different about them physiologically --- and by this I mean brain physiology as well as sex organ physiology. These are not, by and large, kids who have genital anomalies or some kind of "hmm, that's funny" clinical marker of any kind.
As in this article, it's a kid who says, "I guess I feel like that other gender. Sometimes. Kinda."
Well. There is no way to "feel" a "gender." There is no way for a girl to know that she is or is not feeling the way a whole lot of other girls feel. Every person has a personal style and temperament, and feelings change, at some ages on a week-to-week basis. It's called "You're a kid. You're young yet."
A little boy who likes sequins on his clothes is not a little girl. He's a little boy who likes sequins. A little girl who likes hiking boots and dykey flannel plaids is not a boy (let alone a dyke!) She's just a little girl who likes boots and plaids.
"No, Tom, you're not a girl. You're a boy who feels inside the same way many boys feel. You're typical of boys of your temperament."
"No, Gwen, you're not a boy. You''re a girl who feels inside the same way millions of girls feel. You're just like so many other interesting girls of your personality type."
I rue the day the word "gender" escaped from the Grammar Corral and started galloping madly up and down Identity Avenue.
Kids should NOT be misled into thinking their varying sense of style has anything to do with intrinsic "boyness" or "girlness." Personal disclosure: I was a girl who didn't give a whit for clothes, hair and nails, romance novels or crushes upon selected Beatles. (This was the 60's) I grew up to be always and everywhere nothing other than a female. Oddities and all.
