Parents: 4th-Grade Girl To Become Boy Mom Says Youngster Has Male Brain

METHUEN, Mass. -- A fourth-grader who was attending a Methuen elementary school as a girl before February vacation has returned to school as a boy.

The parents of the 9-year-old child said the youngster was born with the body of a girl, but the brain of a boy.

They have asked that he be referred to and treated as a boy by teachers and other students, and school officials are accommodating the request. The parents have even changed the child's name.

The child's mother told The Eagle-Tribune that the family made the decision after consulting with medical professionals. She said the child is still biologically a girl.

The mother has requested that the family not be identified to protect the child.

School Superintendent C. Phillip Littlefield said there is nothing harmful about the child being in the school.

Once they attach a penis, she'll be able to parallel park, ride a motorcycle, and do all kinds of manly things.

I learned earlier on this thread that his/her parents suck. I think that means she has two daddies.

Go look up 'intersex' and 'transgender' on the internet, this is not a cut and dry issue.

It's as cut and dry as the difference between X and Y (chromosome that is). Every cell in her body has female chromosomes. Adding a bionic penis will not change that fact.

Also, there are transgender people who say they knew they felt wrong about themselves when they were four years old.

A psychological issue, not an anatomical one.

Didn't a Harvard prof recently get a teeth-gnashing liberal war-cry for daring to say that men and women have different brains? And yet now they say that one brain can be male and another female... ie that they are fundamentally different?

Yes I think retesting would be necessary. As to how often, how about just having teacher's monitor the class? Retesting could be required whenever
A. a boy is heard to describe anything as " cute"
B. a boy suddenly decides to forego an activity cause
he " might get hurt"
C. a girl stands up to go to the bathroom AND NO OTHER
GIRL HAS TO GO WITH HER.
D. a girl spends more than 3 minutes listening to the
boys talks and DOES NOT ROLL HER EYES AT ALL.

I agree with you that conservatism is more logical than emotional -- but it seems that your assumption is that we can't have a valid opinion unless it coincides with yours, simply because you've "discovered something" scientifically (you've been "enlightened").

We are all biased -- we all view things from some point of view. It can either be man-centered or G-d centered, or maybe a mixture of religion and man-centeredness. I view science (and news) through the lens of Scripture, and I make no apologies for that. I'm rational, but not rationalistic.

Maybe some here are reacting emotionally, but it's only because they've already made up their minds as to what the truth is.

I agree with you, religion and truth are not always together; but G-d is the very embodiment of truth. You might disagree, and that's okay -- I respect your opinions and I care about them.

Getting back to the article, where are you on this issue? Are you undecided, in favor of the "change" or against the "change"?

When I was a kid I begged my parents not to move us to another town. They wanted to move to a bigger house, etc., but I was so afraid of the change that I threw a hissy fit and my parents gave in and let me have my way.

As an adult, my only question to them was, "Why did you listen to me?"

An important question, which may or may not have been answered on the thread (only read the first page of comments):

Are the parents of this unfortunate child a man and a woman? Two women? Two men? Is this their biological child?

After all, this is Massachusetts, so one wonders.
