All I have to say is: WHA???

This poor kid. These parents should be shot

[The Old Hoosier]

These parents suck.

[rintense]

As a tomboy, I find this hysterical!

[odoso]

Boston... That says it all!

[Nefaria]

What is wrong with these parents!

[wk4bush2004]

These people need to understand that God made us who we are and we have no right to change it.

[RadioAstronomer]

Welcome to the real world. Sigh.

[AppyPappy]

but the brain of a boy

Obviously a superior intellect.

[Polyxene]

"...brain of a boy."

How do they know what is in her brain? Did a CAT scan show something?? Did the parents come up with this or did the kid? Just when you think you have heard everything ..... 'scuse me, I think I'm gonna barf now.

[verity]

A BOY NAMED SUE. LOL

[camle]

how far from HArvard are they?

Why izzit that people can be "born with a male body and female brain", which means there's a diff betwixt the sexes, and changing genders should be celebrated, but discussing this diff is heresy?

Ask the prez of HArvard.

That's just child abuse. Parents should "inform" the school that they think abuse is taking place in that home. The school is required by law to report allegations of abuse. Get Social Services nosing around the house. The parents should lose custody of the child, and the child should get decent counseling.

Sometimes with hermaphrodites, the genitals do not become apparent until puberty. Sometimes parents raise someone as a girl only to find out they get a "growth" around the time of adolescence. They have more male hormones than female ones...it's all very confusing for everyone.

If the kid is not hermaphroditic though...the kid needs to be in therapy. There may be some weird hormonal imbalance.

O . . . . M . . . . G.

This will last until the first gym class.

"OK - Hit the showers!"

Or the first game of skins against shirts...

[cyclotic]

This takes sick, twisted and perverted to a completely new level.

[Terabitten]

Not necessarily. There are physiological differences between male and female brains (particularly in the hypothalamus). That's what true transsexuality is: the brain (not the personality, but the actual brain itself) says, "I'm a girl" but the body says, "I'm a boy."

If the doctors have determined that the child's brain meets all the criteria for a female brain, but the child has male sexual organs, what would you have them do?


Check out this site for more detailed info on the legitimate medical condition of transsexuality: http://www.avitale.com/theproblem.htm

Please note - this is very different from homosexuality and from crossdressing, things like that. Those are psychological issues. True transsexuality is an actual, verifiable medical condition.

"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."

And the parents were born with the brain of a Piss Ant.

[Jaysun]

How twisted do you have to be to tell your daughter that she's now a boy, a eunuch? They need to neuter these "parents" immediately.

[Sunshine Sister]

So if the kid is still biologically a girl where is it supposed to go to the bathroom?

[Fido969]

When Larry Summers says there might be a difference between male and female brain the M*ssholes howl in protest.

When the (clearly demented) parents of a child use that as a reason to justify their dysfunctional family, then the M*ssholes celebrate diversity and tolerance.
