"Gender dysphoria can take place during a fetus' development in the womb,'' said noted gender specialist and sexologist Marilyn Volker, Ph.D., of Miami.
While this tyke is likely the youngest transgendered child admitted to a South Florida school, he is not unique. Both the Broward and Miami-Dade County school systems have policies in place to smooth the way for such students and their families.
Equality Florida, which advocates for Florida's gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community, and PFLAG -- Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays -- say the two school districts have the most progressive policies in the state.
Broward and Miami-Dade are among the most exemplary school districts ''when it comes to the rights of transgendered people,'' said Tobias Packer, South Florida Field Organizer for Equality Florida, who himself is transgendered.
Carole Benowitz, Florida state coordinator for PFLAG, agrees. Her adult son is gay.
Benowitz said that two years ago -- at a Broward high school she declined to name -- she was called in after a group of boys beat up another student, whom they believed to be an effeminate boy. In fact, the victim was transgendered -- a biological female who looked, dressed and behaved like a male. Benowitz was brought in to counsel the administrators, the students and the victim.
''People have an understanding of what it means to be gay or lesbian -- but when they hear that a person is genetically one gender but lives as another gender, that threatens a number of people because they don't understand what that means,'' Benowitz said. ``And that misunderstanding can make lives very difficult for transgendered children and their parents.''
''In addition to behaving like the opposite sex, a person with gender dysphoria naturally relates to the opposite sex,'' Volker said. ``They also have a persistent and recurring discomfort with their own external body parts and genitalia because it does not match their internal gender identity. Simply said, they were born into the wrong body.''
What is Benowitz hiding? Why so skittish about naming the high school? There have been so many instances of faked hate crimes in recent years, I think it's incumbent upon her to provide evidence that this occurred, especially since she is integral to the story.

Well in that case just lop off a few of those wrong parts. Buy the kid a Glamour Barbie and an easy bake oven and viola problem solved.
Except of course that God does not make mistakes. This little boy is meant to be just what he is a little boy. To mutilate him either physically and/or psychologically is a very grave offense against God and nature. The sin that these " experts" are commiting is a very true example of placing a millstone around a little one's neck. Woe to them.
They weren't born in the wrong body, but possibly to the wrong parents!
Sickness abounds in the church of liberalism.
