Of course it would, if they were really concerned about the child.
But since that's not what they're doing, the kid is obviously being used to further who know who's homosexual agenda. Clearly nobody has the kid's best interest at heart.
Yep - my thoughts exactly. of course, if that’s true, then the media certainly can’t let it get out. It would only prove us intolerant moralists right.
Why do these issues have to be pushed on to children that are trying to lead normal lives?
I believe it’s called....TransYouth Family Advocates
ARIZONA MAN WANTS TO BE TRANS-PARTY
PHOENIX (APUPIReuters) - An Arizona man, has petitioned the GOP to legally switch parties.
John McCain, 72, has asked for such an unusual request.
“My friends, I have been trans-partied for the past few years. I feel it is time to fit in to my true liberal identity”
No word yet from GOP officials, who have just annointed McCain as their 2008 Presidential nominee.
If he was really smart he would’ve said he wants to be a black gay girl. There, I fixed it for you!
I have 20 year old nephew whose mother treated him more like a girl from infancy, girl toys (dolls, toy kitchen) etc. Father mostly absent. And guess what he turned gay!
I would have explained that God made girls and boys to think differently because girls grow up to be mommies and boys grow up to be daddies. They need to be able to think differently to be a better mommy or daddy. It helps prepare them for being an adult when they do different jobs as parents.
Prosecutor: "Show us on the clown doll where the evil TKPRF person "reached out" and touched you".
I did agree the purple rainbow freaks about one thing, but not in the manner THEY would like:
TKPRF is aware that sex and gender are seen and used interchangeable in legal arenas. These two entities are very separate and need to be divided.
They are correct in that "gender" is a property ascribed to words and property, "sex" is a property ascribed to living things.
The Oh PUKE was to the other link in post 11, but just happened to appear below this other post, which I thought could appropriately go there, too.
Well ... black is a problem.
But it seems to me that most of these dudes who get their johnsons chopped off end up claiming to be lesbians.
Too Many Questions
How long has this kid been living as a girl?
How long has she been in therapy for GID?
Why the change back to this school now?
You don’t put a kid into school as the opposite gender without a significant long history of gender identity issues. Including living at home as the opposite gender and having been observed to only be exhibiting typical opposite gender behaviour over several years.
If this has been brewing for 4 years it’s one thing but 4 months would be something totally different.
Aside from body image stuff, is there any other instance in which we indulge obviously delusional people? If I insisted I were Napoleon, would they let me rule France?
“Transgender children”
And may I ask, Who assumed the authority to devise this expression? I am sure that this is an invention of the perverts who want to sacrifice children upon the altars of their own demented lusts.
There are no such things as 8 year-olds who make a decision on their own to live as the opposite sex
I dont’ know if “they” would, but I’d let you rule it if you wanted. You’d do a better job than Sarkozy
:)
I’m probably one of the most libertarian FReepers when it comes to “social issues”. But in the absence of a clear diagnosis by at least 2 physicians of a gender-related genetic and/or anatomical abnormality, it is extremely harmful to a child to encourage them to take seriously their fantasies of being a member of the opposite sex. No way should taxpayer-funded schools be participating in inflicting this harm.
Public schools (until we get rid of them) should not pressure children to engage in stereotypically gender-specific activities, and should be generally supportive of children who want to play in ways that are usually associated with the opposite sex. If a little boy likes playing with dolls and is being harassed by other boys and/or girls because of this, the proper role of school staff is help the boy stand up for his rights to do as he pleases within the limits of rules that apply to everyone — not to agree with the boy or his parents to systematically lie to all the children (and the boy himself) by calling him a girl.
“TKPRF is committed to the premise that Gender Identity Disorder is something a child can’t control and it is society that needs to change, not them.”
They identify it as a disorder but...
“TKPRF plans to reach out to the homeless youth and those that have no where else to turn. Funds for healthcare, surgery and scholarships can be made available to transyouth in need.”
...proper treatment in their eyes is to get a sex change.
Disturbing. Let’s switch things around a bit:
“Bolobaby is committed to the premise that Homicidal Tendencies are something a person can’t control and it is society that needs to change, not them.”
Ah, yes... don’t fix or medicate the problem, just roll with it.
During college I had a white friend who said that as a child she’d always thought South Asians (e.g. Indians) were more attractive than white people, and imagined she’d turn darker as she grew up. She also said she’d gotten over this before she finished elementary school.
I hesitate to make such an accusation. We don't really know the details of the case -- the kid probably is a psychological mess, and there could even be physiological reasons behind it. Or it could all be a ploy ... but why would the parents do that?
As an example, I'm thinking of "Tula" (Carolyn Cossey), a transsexual who actually posed in Playboy, back in the early '90s. He/she started life as a hermaphrodite, and her parents were given the choice between "boy" and "girl." They chose "boy," but Cossey later said he/she was really a girl inside....
Who's to say what's right, in a situation like that?
I don’t think this is a case of a true hermaphrodite; it sounds more like a case of political activism.
Situations like that are not all that common and need to be dealt with privately, within the family. I see no need to go around announcing it to the whole world, making a political agenda out of it, and forcing changes in laws etc. That’s what’s bothering most people about this.
Too many people today have this martyr complex and are trying to rearrange the whole world to suit them, instead of accepting what can’t be changed and living with it.
If someone comes up to me and looks and acts female, that’s how I treat them. If they are a hermaphrodite, that’s a sad situation and I feel sorry for them. I don’t want, nor need, to know what they’ve had to go through, and their whole medical and sexual history.
