Five-year-old boy lives as girl in youngest case of Gender Identity Disorder
The Telegraph ^ | 2/20/12

Posted on 02/20/2012 1:17:18 PM PST by KansasGirl

With his blonde pigtails and purple tutu, Zach Avery, now five, has been living as a girl for more than a year - after he first refused to live as a boy when he turned three. Little Zach was just three when he began refusing to live as a boy, instead choosing to wear pink dresses and ribbons in his long, blonde hair - because he has Gender Identity Disorder (GID). And the primary school he attends in Essex has even changed the kids' toilets to gender-neutral Unisex in support of Zach since his official diagnosis last year, aged four. Zach is one of the youngest in Britain ever to be diagnosed with GID - meaning he feels like he's a girl trapped in a boy's body. Mum Theresa Avery, 32, said Zach used to be a 'normal' little boy who loved Thomas the Tank Engine, but suddenly at the end of 2010, he decided he wanted to live as a girl.

If anyone tried to take away the kids from parents such as this, it would become a liberal cause celebre. The attorneys from the ACLU and Lambda Legal would be lining up to use this boy to ramrod their agenda through a court.

It seems obvious to us that this is an unfit mother, but trying to do anything legally about it won’t ever happen. Not in today’s liberal world.

To these people, it’s not a “disorder,” it’s an OPPORTUNITY.

Very sad to hear that someone you know killed themselves about this very issue.

Sad to say, the liberals will say he was tormented by our racist, sexist, homophobic society, or feeling rejected by his family for not conforming to gender expectations, or some such liberal clap trap.

Liberals have recently been pushing the issue of gay bullying and gay suicide among teenagers, for example.

In spite of the fact that society has never been more open or accomodating of alternative lifestyles than it is now, the liberals claim that these kids are bullied and are being killed due to being gay.

And they say that it’s because society is so messed up, and that society is so homophobic and bigoted and all the rest.

Society has never been more open to this crap than it is right now, but to the liberals, it’s as if it’s 1950 and gays have to hide.

>> As someone mentioned, if a 3 year old decides he wants to play with matches, is that ok? How can we allow a 3 year old to make the decision?<<

That kind of “parenting” is how we end up with 200 lb. 6 year olds.

lock these frigging idiot parents up or so called parents.

A 3 year old now controls how he wants to live, WTH and the GOP say social issues should not be mentioned.

Not Five, but age Three!

Little Zach was just three when he began refusing to live as a boy, instead choosing to wear pink dresses and ribbons in his long, blonde hair

By age Five, he had decided he wanted a chopadicome.

The parents should be arrested, given a fair trial, neutered, horse whipped and thrown in prison for about 30 years.

The little boy should be given psychological help and adopted by normal, sane, parents.

As a three year old when he “stated” he was a “girl”, you firmly tell him that “No” he is a boy like his daddy was and he will grow into a man. It is actually that easy unless there is no dad in the picture or the mother is so insecure and stupid, she allows her insecurity be transmitted to the boy-—which makes him doubt the truth.

(Of course, Leftists have no morality and no Common Sense).

All kids try to make sense of the world-—they say things like I am going to marry you-—and you have to explain reality to them. Abstract thinking doesn’t really happen until seven.

These kids are forcing Marx’s egalitarianism on these susceptible young minds to deny the laws of nature so they can shape the human being into whatever sick perversion they want. They are extremely evil parents to destroy the very nature and reality of their own child. Sick.

You can always pervert the thinking of children and make them literally hate themselves the way God designed them. They become self-loathing people who eventually destroy themselves with dysfunctional relationships for the rest of their lives.

Oh, please.

I have a niece who, at three, decided she wanted to be a butterfly. Should her parents have taken away her bed and given her a tree branch on which to sleep?

When I was three, I wanted to be Mighty Mouse. Should my parents have only given me a superhero suit and a cape to wear?

All kids play and pretend. A three-year-old can be led to understand that it’s only play and their desires will change as they get older. That is normal. This boy’s situation is not.

There’s a serious problem with the PARENTS brain if they enable their childs delusion or quirk. If the kid suddenly decided he wanted to be a kangaroo, would there be surgery for a pouch? If he or she wants to be a dog, will it be ok to walk on all fours and eat out of a bowl on the floor? Leashes, flea spray? This is sickness that is being encouraged and protected by PC. Hideous.
Why are there any psychiatrists? Nothing is abnormal anymore.

Some day, a relatively sane future society is going to look back on late 20th - early 21st century American and wonder, “What the hell were they thinking?”

it just dawned on me- they’re calling this a ‘disorder’. So are they trying to FIX the disorder, ‘cure’ the kid, or justify it while collecting disability money?

Second outbreak in England so far. First was a twelve-year-old. Hey, kid. Having a penis is fun. Just take a look down there and think of the possibilities, many of which will not even occur to you for another eight years or so. And no, they will not let you in the girl’s bathroom, so drop that little scheme and put some pants on.

[ These parents should have the child taken from them. ]

It’s not just the parents, it is the “psychologists” and the school too.

I’d pull my kids out of this school:

“We explained to the other kids at the school that Zachy’s body was that of a boy but in his brain he was a girl. We said Zach was just happier being a girl than a boy.

“But the other kids haven’t batted an eyelid, they’ve accepted Zach as Zach and there’s been no problems at the school with bullying.

“The school has been brilliant and really, really supportive.”
