10-year-old transgender N.J. girl: 'I feel way more happier now that I know who I am'
NJ Advance Media for NJ.com ^ | August 5, 2017

VERNON -- Rebekah Bruesehoff hasn't always been comfortable in her own skin. Around the age of 7, she talked about not wanting to be alive, her mother, Jamie Bruesehoff, said.

"She didn't enjoy anything, she had anxiety, was really distressed and depression came with that," Jamie said. "She just kind of lost the light in her." It wasn't until after Rebekah hit a crisis point that her family became aware of the reason for the distress -- her gender. She'd been born a boy, but in her heart, she knew she was a girl. Two years after her transition, Rebekah says much has changed.

Your post #45 summarizes the whole issue just about as well as it can be summarized. And yes, it is ironic that all the while they are campaigning against strict gender roles, how do they decide whether a child is transgender? By how well they conform to strict gender roles! It’s just nuts.

Actually, you just summarized what I was trying to say very concisely, and much better than I did! I tend to be wordy.

Well, the way you put it helped me figure out how I wanted to put it! LOL...

"Rebekah gravitated toward pink, purple, sparkles and girl clothes"

But I never did. In fact, I never started regularly wearing skirts/dresses until I was in my 60's.

I'd better go ask my husband and sons: does that mean all that time I wasn't a girl?

I can’t help you figure it. It’s still not clear whether I am female, even with dresses and sparkles, because of my short hair. I’m definitely not a Real Woman, though: too opinionated in a totally wrong way.

And these days, the only people who are really, truly, comprehensively gender-conforming in their presentation are the trannies.

There's nothing so (cough) "feminine" as a female impersonator.

You got it. The rigid gender-conformity-enforcers are, woo-hoo, the tranny stage-moms.

When I was 10, I only cared about seeing Mr. Rogers Neighborhood and riding my tricycle around the block. I also liked to watch Brady Bunch and Partiridge Family. I also liked movies about dinosaurs (Godzilla) and flying dinosaurs (Rodan).

I didn't even think about sex until I was 12 or 13.

Yes, the parents are definitely polluting this young boy's mind.

Who would want to date a transgender? If you’re attracted to men, you want a REAL man, not Chaz Bono. If you’re attracted to women, you want a real one, not Caitlin Jenner. These people are ensuring they’ll never have a real or healthy relationship, ever.

And further proof that 90% of humans aren’t fit to raise pets, much less, children.

Wonder what the shelf life for this nation is with this insanity?

A year?

Yes, struggling against an insane obsession is very difficult and troubling. Just like an addiction, it is more “calming” to just give in. Is that what parents know to teach their kids in everything wrong their kids think is right?

How can a 10 year old even be aware of issues about their sex?

Oh yes, massive brainwashing from schools and liberal parents feeding them constant bullcrap about it. “Oh honey, do you like being a boy? Would you ever want to be a girl? Would you like to be a girl for a week and see if you enjoy that??

F’ing parents should be shot after being boiled in oil after being tarred and feathered.

You guessed it. We are doomed. America is doomed because more and more Americans are immoral. The more that happens, the further we go down the road to decay and collapse.

As Adams said, the US Constitution was only meant to govern a moral and informed populace. As both requirements decline, we are becoming an immoral nation that the US Constitution can no longer protect. Hence the race toward totalitarian Tyranny. This is not a question of if, but of when. And it is coming rapidly.

I am grateful for the Trump miracle that has set this process back temporarily. Praise be to God for this miracle.

I used to rack my brain wondering how Rome actually fell and wanted to time travel back and see it unfold.

No longer.

From my front row seat for the fall of Western Civilization, I am seeing in real time how Rome fell from enemies within because the populace was too immoral to do the hard work and make the difficult decisions to fight the internal enemies, let alone quit inviting them in the gates.

It all comes to an end at the first new moon of the fall in 2024.

“The Day of Trumpets.”

The 10 days following that will have the “Bowl Judgments” raining down on those who remain.

The mother is the wife of a Lutheran Pastor at Holy Counselor Lutheran Church in Vernon, New Jersey. Her email is "hippypastorwife". Tells you all you need to know.

Tragically, this innocent child was doomed form the start. He had no chance to escape his parents's deviancy and mental illness. What a horrible shame.

Poor child. There will be nothing but pain and suffering in his future. Thanks Mom! Thanks Dad! Scum sucking pukes for parents. What a tragedy.

I am reminded of Matthew 18:6 -- “Whoever causes one of these little ones* who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.

The father is a Lutheran Pastor and is all in on this. He heartily approves. Who knows, it might have been his idea, or might have been the idea of his rural New Jersey hippy wife.
