Leo is 10 years old. For most of his life he's lived as a girl, but this summer he began to speak openly about his sense that this didn't feel quite right. With research help for his parents, he's decided he is non-binary - in his case, both masculine and feminine - though for the moment he dresses as a boy and has taken a male name. This is Leo's story in his own words.
I'm not a boy.
I thought I was a boy, because I'm not entirely a girl. We tried that for a bit, and I thought: "No, this is not right."
Then we did some research and we found the word is gender non-binary... and it really works, it's just me.
I don't know what age I was when I identified that I wasn't feeling right.

She probably does not know that boys have penises.
Leo’s “dad” needs a kick in the balls for allowing this.
He might also be a hemi-demisemiquaver!
I thought I was a boy. But I screamed like a little girl the time I got my thing caught in the zipper.
But in all seriousness, we used to have a perfectly sensible name for this: Tomboy. A name that everyone accepted, respected and understood, and which allowed plenty of room for individual variability. No one automatically expected all tomboys to grow up to be bull-dykes either, we all understood it for what it usually was, a phase.
Maybe the problem stems from the fact that there was never any correlative for boys. Girly or gentle boys have almost always been shunned and mocked, and I am sure that pushes many of them into homosexuality, or makes them targets for sexual predators — at the very least they grow up with a grudge against “normal” society. And so we get our next generation of petty tyrants and pajama boys.
I wonder whether having an acceptable name such as tomboy for less-than masculine boys would result in them growing up to be normal, masculine men and not flaming liberals. Maybe we wouldn’t have so many disturbed adults pushing this gender crap, nor kids being warped to believe they’re freaking pan-asexual unicorns instead of just a normal kid going through a phase.
This is the only reason I support anti-bullying measures in schools, theoretically. Not so much the way they are actually inacted. But I have seen for myself how bullying almost always leads to a new crop of maladjusted leftists.
Oh dear
Don’t they teach biology anymore?
If there isn’t any difference between male and female, how can this kid be confused.
One of the worst parts about this new “choose your gender” fad that the press has been focusing on is that you absolutely cannot tell from the stories whether the subject is a boy or a girl. The press will use “he” or “she” based on what the person identifies as, not based on their biological sex. So in this story, I’m not sure whether this Leo, to say it crudely, has a penis or vagina. Was Leo a boy (ie, had a penis) who lived as a girl? Or a biological girl who now thinks that she is a boy? The press is completely undermining any credibility that it has left with this nonsense. I can’t get any true facts from the story.
Kid, you can claim you have a 3rd arm but that doesn’t mean it’s true. Some things in life ARE binary and sex is one of them. Deal with it.
ROTFL!!!
Sick parents
You know talking about you makes me smile
But every once in awhile
I want to talk about me
Want to talk about I
Want to talk about number one
Oh my me my
What I think, what I like, what I know, what I want, what I see
I like talking about you, you, you, you usually, but occasionally
I want to talk about me

I was a tomboy, too. One older brother who got to do things that were so much more fun than I was allowed.....mostly playing baseball. Even though the Good Lord only blessed me with one child, I am eternally grateful that my child is a boy. Oh, the fun I had with him while he was growing up! Now I have a granddaughter and she is so much fun, in a different way. Tomboys rule! And I bet she will be one : )
what if someone feels like he/she is a cat, or Jesus, or Napoleon?
I think just "boy" and "girl" would be fine. Girls have a wide array of interests, activities, and styles, and so do boys.
Once we've mastered this for children, we can try using "man" and "woman" for male and female adults (respectively). Men and women can have a wide array of interests, activities, and styles.
And another thing...someone needs to ask this girl what lead her to hate women so much.
I think that deep down, all of this gender nonsense is repressed misogyny.
It could try being a penguin for a bit.
Problem solved.
I’d like to see a picture of his parenths.....
