Ten-year-old Livvy James loves her new school uniform

His.

For a news reporter to pretend that you can change your sex simply by wishing it is to enable this kind of madness.

Jack - I’m not sure what you response has to do with what I said.

I was responding to: “Why not just send the lesbian, homosexual, transvestite, and bi-sexual students to a school where they can all be one in their deviancy?”

All I said is that you shouldn’t blame children for the anti-social behavior that they have been taught by their parents or whatevers. First, I don’t really believe that per-adolescent children are cross-dressers. I think they may be made to think that they are.

So, you just apply standard rules to children depending on whether they are male or female. I’m not sure how your idea of segregating them and reinforcing anti-social behavior would be a good thing. Did I misunderstand what you were trying to say?

And, Graybeard, did I answer your questions too?

I didn't have a question in my reply, just adding my comment to yours. It wasn't particularly aggressive at that.

No, yours was very thoughtful. I don’t think I expressed myself very well originally.

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

The mother is setting the child up to be bullied by the other children. The possibilities for ridicule are too tempting to pass up.

Predictability is what keeps societies together. That is why one doesn't do to many things that are weird and make people feel peculiar.

Dirversity is not a good thing no matter how much the pc crowd screams that it is.

Here’s an example of an extraordinary story,mom:
“My son,who is serving in the Middle East,bravely risked his life to save others.”

In the position of the other parents, I would strongly advise my kids to stay well clear of this disturbed boy - not to tease him in any way but also not to try to make friends, at least not while the even more disturbed mother is in the disturbed boy's life. This story will not end well, and I would not want my children harmed when things go badly. It's an entirely different situation to try to help the poor boy, who definitely needs help, but that needs to wait until the mother is no longer controlling his life. Intentionally entering a situation such as this sort of mother creates is a major risk, one best left to adults.

Your can call it anti-social behavior but should everyone have to accept that behavior. You’ve heard of reform schools, correct? Those were for students who were anti-social. Same applies to this child.

One of these theories is that a a person with BIID may have seen an amputee at an earlier age and this image has replaced their own thoughts about what constitutes the ideal person.

Behavioiurs are complex but imprinting has a major role. A chick will follow the first thing that moves and if it is a mother hen, it is a good thing. Once imprinted, there is not another chance to change it.

I think imprinting is part of Gods design.

I agree, but I also think both positive and negative imprinting can be overcome. If you mess up with a child, that means a lot more work than doing it right the first try, but even that extra work is a whole lot better than this pretend mother's surrender to the whims of a small child. I think that even at his age and after years of maternal encouragement to act like a freak, a good parent could provide enough traditional guidance and modeling to restore a close to normal life, with a huge increase in happiness for this confused boy. I don't think that will happen, sadly, but it could be done. God wants us to have a second chance to do things right. Sadly, free will rarely leads to taking advantage of that option, but I believe it is there.

Funny, I have been thinking exactly the same thing any time I visit the United States.

If you think you are any better, get a clue, if anything you are worse than us and thats saying summat.

I was about to defend the U.S. in a reply and then I remembered about Obama.

The state of both nations, and the West, is sad.

I think we can all agree on that.

God says for men not to dress like women. There’s a reason for that.

And, of course, I never disagreed with that. What I disagreed with is treating little kids who have parents who have taught them wrong things to be treated like little criminal perverts. The school should just insist on a code of behavior (including a dress code), and enforce it. You wanted to send him to reform school. Really, Jack?

Only if he insists on not following the code of conduct/behavior.

OK, Jack, we’ll call it a draw. I think we both made our points.
