Why I let my son live as a girl: Mother of boy who returned to school in a skirt bravely...
Daily Mail ^ | 17th September 2011 | Helen Weathers

Posted on 09/17/2011 6:51:08 AM PDT by markomalley

Ten-year-old Livvy James loves her new school uniform, particularly the smart, grey skirt with two pleats and pockets decorated with hearts.

‘Walking to school on my first day back, I was nervous and excited, but most of all I just felt like shouting ‘‘Yeay!’’ ’ says Livvy, who wore her shoulder-length blonde hair that day in a swishy pony-tail.

‘I was so excited that I didn’t care what people thought about me. Even if people looked at me or were saying nasty things, I didn’t care. I felt happy because I could be me and didn’t have to pretend any more.’

This "mother" has done almost surely irreparable damage to her son.

Why, what could possibly go wrong?

I agree and find it terribly sad to see what a maladjusted parent can do to an innocent child.

I’d respect them more if they said, “Our family is different and this is how we are dealing with it.

My own family is "different", in that it consists of, my wife and me and two grand children, the family in the article is perverse because it consists of a budding pervert and two enabling parents. Instead of trying to help the boy with guidance, either parental and/or professional help, they encourage him in his perversion. Not too many years ago, that would have been correctly called child abuse, now it's something liberals everywhere "celebrate"

When Sam was able to choose, he would be drawn to dolls, fluffy things and stereotypical girls’ stuff.

He has an older brother, so where did he get the girlie toys? Answer - Mama.

Who bought all those frilly little outfits? Answer - Mama. Who has messed up this boy's life? Answer - Mama.

Precisely. Mama felt cheated when she gave birth to a second boy, so now she's turning him into the girl she wanted. Sick.

It’s called self denial. It is real hard for a parent to admit that they have a child that is not normal whether they have contributed to the problem or not. I have a friend who is a Special Ed teacher (there has to be a special place in heaven for these people) and she deals with it all the time. She tells heart wrenching stories of parents, mostly mothers, who talk to her about what college would be the best one for her child to apply to when they are 16 y/o with the mental capacity of a 4 y/o. When she tries to guide them in more reasonable direction they just go off on her.

Livvy is short for Olivia.

Here's a Liv that's all girl.

I totally agree with you. My beef is with these folks insisting that their family is normal. Perhaps “different” is too mild a word for it, but at least that’s a step forward from them deluding themselves that they are normal.

Okay I’m not defending the mother here, but even in the 8 y/o picture if no one told you, you would assume that was a little girl. Genetically he/she might be male, but there has to be a lot of estrogen flowing here.

While at school does he go to the girls’ or boys’ restroom? Or will the taxpayers be made to pay for special restroom just for the It’s All About MEEEE! crowd?

“She tells heart wrenching stories of parents, mostly mothers, who talk to her about what college would be the best one for her child to apply to when they are 16 y/o with the mental capacity of a 4 y/o.”

That truly is heartbreaking. They won’t consider what will truly help the child but are only indulging in their fantasies. There is no shame in having a special-needs child; the shame is in not behaving in a way that will serve the child’s best interests. These kids must pick up on the vibe that they are falling short of the parents’ (unrealistic) dreams.

Which is worse?

The 1.5% of the population inflicting transvestism or other unaccepted behaviors on the 98.5% who are straight?

Or the 98.5% having the expectation that the 1.5% will live by the rules of the majority?

Which restroom should the boy use? The girls or the guys?

Because we have exceptions to the rule like this child should the exception become the rule?

You do understand this this child is going to grow up a man, right? Maybe he should feel free to walk into the girls gym locker any time he feels like it because he feels like a girl?

Well - because children are children and to apply the idea of “deviancy” to a child is blaming the victim.

He needs to know in a loving way that his behavior is deviant, in that it deviates from the norm. He will certainly hear it in an unloving way from his peers.

Son, if you choose to live this way, you are going to have a very hard life. Try your hardest to act normal and as an adult act that way too. Nobody really cares what an adult does in the privacy of their home but when you flaunt your abnormality in society's face, expect society to react harshly

Not really. Given a boy's haircut and clothes, he'd look like a pudgy little boy.

The folks posting their approval on the article are the same folks who despise people like Sarah Palin with a red hot passion.

Totally screwed up in the head.

A boy in a skirt in a **compulsory** attendance government school?

So?...What about a citizen's FIRST AMENDMENT Right to **free** association????HuH? What about parents who do NOT want their child to be in **forced** association with a boy wearing a SKIRT???

What about the parents and citizen's FIRST AMENDMENT right to freedom of religion? By forcing the children in the district to associate with this boy, the religious value of many will be undermined and replaced with the government's atheistic religion of secular humanism. What about the citizen who is forced to pay for the government's atheistic religious proselytizing?

Just one more example of how government schools trash First Amendment and human rights.

Oh....Some twit is sure to post that parents have the freedom to homeschool or privately school. There is another name for this RANSOM! Parents still have the freedom to pay ransom ( jizya) to rescue their children from this morally toxic stew.

NYC has a school that does that already. The only thing is the reason it was started was to supposedly protect the kids from being picked on by straights. Only that didn’t workout the way it was supposed too, as several of the poor picked upon gays and such were arrested for mugging local straight kids.

If he protests about getting his teeth brushed does the mom let his teeth rot?
