'I'm a boy-girl,' says 8-year-old

Now that Ben has had his final day at a west Omaha Catholic school, the 8-year-old gets to give away the last of his boy clothes — his school uniform — and live full time as the person inside: Katie

[humblegunner]

And when the kid gets beat up on a regular basis, what are the loving parent’s going to do then?

For more generations than can be counted normal kids have been beating up the queer ones.

It has kept the disorder in check. Until recently when beatings are outlawed.

And "parents" needs no apostrophe.

[gidget7]

I am disgusted as well, and I could just weep for this poor child. How incredibly sad. Talk about wide scale abuse and neglect!

[nmh]

The “parents” are more immature than their child.

[gidget7]

No, don't you believe it. Your daughter would be “exposed” to liberal ideas of socialization. She would socialize with folks like you instead.

I was the biggest tomboy as a little girl. Hated dresses, dolls, all that crap. I wore my brother's handmedowns, played sports, built things with legos, etc. There were times I wished I was a boy because their 'stuff' just seemed cooler, like walkie talkies, etc. But that all changed in 3rd grade when Joel B decided a game of tag was catch em and kiss em. :)

Now, I'm still a big tomboy but love to play dress up and do girly things.

It truly scares me that these parents are allowing this child to do this.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

I would suspect, after reading that, this boy was sexually abused as a very young baby. Or, actually made to hate himself by negligent remarks by his parents. Dime to donuts says this ‘girl’ will grow up to be a lesbian since ‘it’ loathes maleness so much.

[GSP.FAN]

It is a boy,stop calling it a she.

[metmom]

I was referring to your daughter. I thought you were talking about a decision to homeschool her.

As for *transgender* and all.... I go by DNA. I won’t call mutilated people by the gender they prefer or have tried to change to, but the gender they are biologically.

[nmh]

At eight years old, I'd say he is being EMOTIONALLY confused by his parents. This is clearly a CHILD CENTERED upbringing. When the kid says, “jump”, the “parents” jump!
These so called “parents” are being lead by the nose by an immature 8 year old.

Kids go through stages. One of them us understanding their role and gender identity. These “parents” are confusing the kid and giving in to mindless whims of the kid. This kid will someday HATE his “parents” for the confusion they are advocating. Clearly the “parents” are touchy feely liberals without any sense.

Haha - when someone asks me about socialization of my homeschooled kid, I say, "Oh I know, I'm SOOOO glad he isn't socialized with those hoodlums at the local high school"

If you've never talked to a home schooled kid, you need to. The socialization comment will disappear. Most homeschooled kids I know can talk to anyone about any subject - and do it with respect and genuine interest.

[liberalism is suicide]

This is what a sick society produces.

[HungarianGypsy]

My daddy said I wasn’t in school to socialize.

[manc]

don’t suppose this mother of the kid is also friends with the other out in CO who is using her kid to push the homosexual agenda by saying that an 8 year old is organising a homosexual rally backed up by a teacher and a mother with the help of lesbians down the street and the rest of the group

is there a father here it is it the same story where a mother uses her kids to push the homosexual agenda and lets her son dress and act like a girl.

this kid should be taken away like those kids were from the LDS church, the kid is obviously being raised wrong and not shown how a boy should be brought up as a decent man

[manc]

are there any men in his life and when I say men I mean a man not a girlie man like shep smith

your betting about how they are liberals is dead on too I bet.

This kid is being brought up wrong but of course I don’t expect child services to do anything in fact they probably would shake his hand and then give him a doll

[ConservativeMan55]

Uh

[manc]

my thoughts too

what is the betting this mother is raising him to be a girl, giving him dresses , putting on nail polish etc

Obviously liberal left wing loons who have no concept of raising children

[RJS1950]

Actually he/she is not returning to the school he was in. The school rejecting the situation is a Catholic school and won’t accomodate him as a her.

He is going to be sent to a public school where the staff will have no choice but to accomodate.

[Jim Noble]

An eight year old saying it is one thing.

Grownups paying attention - that's something else entirely.

[manc]

my boys have played with trucks etc since they could, my daughter is a right girlie girl.

they know off the bat, as nature would have it.
No the problem here is that parents , many mothers raise their boys like a girl

boys should not be allowed to be putting on nail polish, lipstick etc

I bet he has seen mother getting ready and she has said to him do you want to try this make up etc?
I say this as I have seen it first hand with a woman who bought two kids from Russia and right away she messed these kids up.

from meeting homosexuals every night to letting her boy put make up on and girls dresses, in fact she wanted him to do it.
