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.

A lot of these cases of gender identity confusion are actual hermphrodites, at least at the age of three.

About six years ago, Vanity Fair did a really nasty article on the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, aimed at demeaning the British royalty. The upshot of the article was that the Duchess of Windsor was actually a full hermaphrodite with sex organs of both a male and female and the Duke of Windsor was gay. So, the Duke thought that the match was truly made in heaven.

The article was disgusting, exploiting a tragic situation for the Duchess of Windsor. I couldn’t even read the article.

Gender identity problems are serious and very real, whether they are physical or mental and I think it is wrong for parents to discuss such problems in their own family in the press.

SID (Superhero Identity Disorder). Most of us recovered without serious injury. ;-)

It’s amazing how quick it happens as well. I’m 32 and can remember when I was a teenager that homosexuality was so taboo that to be labeled as ‘gay’ was a social death sentence. Nowadays it’s almost en vogue to be gay.

I don’t know what the Hell happened in these 15 short years, but all of a sudden being ‘gay’ is cool and ‘fag’ is an acceptable label. It’s upside down world to me, really.

Kid needs a good spanking...

Oh wait, you can’t do that anymore...

(Actually - his parents and teachers need a good spanking-— - Society, as a whole, needs a big spanking)

What I don't understand about this story is why was their tutu's and ribbons in the home. I did not read that he had a sister. If one of my son's (I have 3) came to me anytime under my roof saying he wanted to be a girl, I would immediately ensure my daughter's clothing would be accounted for at all times. Although my son's are 13, 11, 9 and my daughter is 3, but still. lol. I am grateful that I have not had any of my kids come to me and say such things. I think as a parent that would be devastating and scary.
