Equality Florida, which advocates for Florida's gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community, and PFLAG - Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays - say the two school districts have the most progressive policies in the state.

Good news for the private schools in the area.

"Gender dysphoria can take place during a fetus' development in the womb," said noted gender specialist and sexologist Marilyn Volker, Ph.D., of Miami."

BS!

Not a single piece of evidence exists that proves being 'gay' is genetic

[fml]

Just plain sad

Mental health professionals have diagnosed Pat - not his real name - with gender dysphoria, a condition in which a person believes that he or she is the opposite gender.

The proper cure is to arrest the "mental health professionals" who think that catering to a child's damaging delusions is a form of care.

Well, there's the problem.................

and the parents of this 5 year old must be real winners.

As has been said many times before, a lot of five-year-olds think they're Luke Skywalker, that doesn't mean we pull them out of school and start giving them light saber training.

Years ago, they announced out of SF that autopsies had shown that gays had a smaller than normal hypothalimus.

The next morning the announce for Rush Limbaugh announced him as the man with the largest known hypothalimus.

Rush then came on and said that this was great news, now we can identify them before birth and abort them. That was last ever heard about that theory.

What do you think the other parents are going to say when they find out that there is a boy in the girl's room?

"Mommy, why is Mary different than me down there? Why can she have one and I don't. She let me touch it, but it felt ickkie".

It's a liberal dogma. If they say it loud and long enough, not only do they believe it themselves but some of the sheeple do also.

When my nephew was five, he wanted to be a kangaroo. If he had lived in this school district, I guess he'd still be wearing a furry 'roo costume.

[Bigh4u2]

These liberal idiots should be arrested for endangering the welfare of a child.

with gender dysphoria, a condition in which a person believes that he or she is the opposite gender. After two years of examination, they have determined that he is not simply effeminate or going through a phase.

What if he believed he was a dog? A 40-year old? A Cuban refugee? Would they cater to that too?

[Bigh4u2]

Do you realize they started 'examining' him when he was THREE??

[ClaudiusI]

Not as bad as Avian Dysphoria, though. I knew a guy who used to stay on the roof of the school and who took a dump on peopl e as they passed. (of course, he wasn't the one who thought he was a bird, he was just really weird...)

You know predidio9, it's statements like this that hurt the rebellion. The rebel alliance is desparately in need of padoin jedis-in-training and our recruiting budget gets slashed all the time.

...and now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

This statement made me laugh, it's so true. My 3 yr old daughter thinks she's Ariel (The Little Mermaid), but I don't let her swim in the pool by herself (which she assures me she can do).

I was one of those in the 80's. Or was it the 70's?
