New challenge for schools: accommodating transgender 6-year-olds
NYPost / AP ^ | May 28, 2013

(edit)

Some experts predict that views on gender will evolve in much the same way they have for sexual orientation, since homosexuality was removed as a mental illness nearly four decades ago. Today, the gender spectrum includes those who are transgender, who see themselves as the opposite gender, and those who are gender variant, or gender nonconforming, whose gender is more "fluid." For kids, it means they identify part of themselves as boy and part as girl.

 

(edit)

In Colorado, for instance, the parents of a 6-year-old transgender girl are suing their school district for trying to make her use a separate bathroom.

This thing goes on for SIX depressing pages at the NYPost site.  I debated posting it here at all because it's all so very sad.  Pity the children so very unfortunate to have been born to liberal "parents".

Homosexual Agenda Ping request

From the article (emphasis mine):

Increasingly, those students are making the transition as early as elementary school, if not before.

Why read it? My child will never go to such a school...since it’s obvious that academic standards are an entirely secondary consideration.

What the hell does a young child know about homosexuality? And why?

“Transgender girl” You never know if the reporter is actually talking about a girl or a boy who dresses like a girl.

I’ll have to do a search but I’m pretty sure there were some threads awhile back about some hospitals (children’s hospitals) opening gender reassignment clinics.

I work at a children’s hospital. The day I have to start doing this garbage is the day I become a burger flipper at the local McDs. There are already patients here who are getting an implanted device to delay the onset of puberty.

I understand completely but I do think you should stay informed. As a healthcare worker, I can attest that this tripe is making its way into all sorts of elements of society. I don’t think it will be long before I am expected to be involved in medical procedures that violate my conscience. Hell, one of the hospitals I work at does “gender-reassignment” surgery for adults. I see it on the horizon for kids

Some time ago I saw a documentary on a Canadian boy who had some sort of terrible accident as a young kid that resulted in the total destruction of his...ahem.Afterward,doctors tried to decide what to do and they decided to convert that area into a female...ahem...and to raise him as a girl.He described in some detail the horrors he withstood being brought up a girl when all the time he wanted to play with trucks and guns instead of dolls and tea sets.

"Transgender"? Nope,sorry...no sale *here*.Whackjob people without a clue of how f*cked up they really are? Yup,I'll buy that.

When I was six, I'd see Liberace on TV and I just thought he was rather creepy, strange, and ludicrously flamboyant.  I felt a natural revulsion to his overall persona and presentation.  Sexuality?  I had no idea.

For kids this young to be even thinking in such terms, the idea has to be put in their heads by "parents" and "teachers" with an agenda.

If I were to be Blessed with children, there's no way on earth I would allow them anywhere near a "public school".

 

"sigh"

I understand and sympathize with your sentiment.  15 years from now when these children are committing suicide because "expert" academics and their liberal parents messed up their minds and lives so much, we'll know the reason many of them felt they couldn't go on.

It's not enough that the Left works so very hard to destroy peoples' lives, they have to simultaneously destroy our language as well.

It is already happening. I "binged" transexual teen suicide rates and they are 3-4 times that of heterosexual teens. If it were a drug that kids were taking that was killing such numbers of them, everyone would be outraged. But, because it has to do with "sexuality", no one speaks out. No one wants the hassle. To do something like this to a teenager, knowing that teenagers don't really have the best logical thinking in the world (definition of teenager), is sinful -- pure and simple. To do this sort of operation on a young child is evil.

I recall reading about that.  It's not enough that Medicine is corrupted to now mean the murder of unborn, partially-born and even fully-born children, it now means the destruction of their personal lives on every conceivable level, all to suit the Left's agenda of wrecking Western culture.
