There’s no doubt about that. Odds are the biggest problem is the mother with the counseling degree. There was another story posted on this a few weeks ago. When spoken to by a reporter, the child goes into a long dissertation about wanting to hammer his penis and wishing he had a vagina. He’s all up to date on anatomically correct language no five year old ever heard of.
The most likely disorder in this family is some bazaar version of Munchausen by a lunatic mother wishing she had another daughter.
The question should be, what can be done for him? What can be done to help him figure out why he believes he's a girl and how to change his mis-perception.
"Odds are the biggest problem is the mother with the counseling degree."
Ding! Ding! We have a winner. Good post.
