Unbelievable that it’s covered by medical insurance.
I can’t get my arms around the idea of an 8 year old boy undergoing this surgery. I guess I’m just not liberal and open minded. I don’t know what to say about an adult making an informed decision. But some lines clearly should be drawn. An 8 year old is way too young to even consider such surgery. His parents are guilty of child abuse in my opinion. If the parents weren’t enabling him, there’s no way an 8 year old could even conceive of any of this trans-sex whatever the official name of it is.
Does anyone here really believe that a child who hasn’t yet even gone through puberty has any concept of sexuality in the first place? And if they don’t have any concept of sexuality, how the heck can they be convinced that they are a girl in a boy’s body and all that??????
I would love to know how this developed. When the parents began to see that the boy wanted to be a girl, did they take him to a pediatrician? What did the pediatrician say? This is really disturbing to think that this little kid (and the parents) were not given another choice. Isn’t there anyone out there who would work with this family to help restore this boy to his true identity. I feel that someone robbed this boy of his life.
My 4 year old girl wants to be a butterfly. Should I take her to a doctor to get wings surgically implanted? Geez. Little kids want to be LOTS of things.
