I know I'm not the only person who has met a child who earnestly thought they should be the other sex in childhood, and as soon as the puberty hormones hit, their sex organs popped and they magically became attracted to the opposite sex.
I've also known adults in gay or lesbian relationships who one day met someone of the opposite sex, fell in love, got married and had children and left all that other stuff behind. Ran into one of them whom I hadn't seen in a dozen years at my child's elementary school, and (he/she) took me aside and begged me not to tell anyone about the former life for the sake of (his/her) child at the school. Luckily for (him/her), I try to avoid gossip.
The parents of that poor child in the article are both crazy and evil.
I MIGHT suggest that people respectfully but forthrightly share their “misgivings” about this psychotic decision with the LeVans
