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.

Sexual identity is psychological.
Gender is physical.
Can people not figure that out?

The excesses and depravity of the past such as in Rome, the Weimar Republic or any other time in history pale in comparison to what the leftist perverts and depraved fools are doing now. Nothing. Transgendered SIX YEAR OLDS? It's abominable that parents are purposely destroying their children like this. And disgusting that psychologists and psychiatrists are fueling these outrages. And some of these children will then receive hormones to postpone puberty, and be given "sex change" operations.

My only question is when will this psychotic evil stop and be rolled back.

If anyone wants on/off either pinglist, freepmail me.

Thanks for the alert, Stoat.

IMHO there is no such thing as a 6-year-old transgender. There IS such a things as a parent or parents who, for some twisted reason, wish to mold a little child into a transgender item that can be used to gather attention and/or sympathy for the family. This situation is a variation on Munchhausen's by Proxy.

Does anyone still have doubts the Left won the culture war?

Maybe so, but sexual identity is based on biology, not mental ideas or emotions. Only mentally ill people, especially those influeced by evil mentally ill people, imagine they are the opposite sex. It’s a catching disease, not genetic.

Sorry, I should have written “thing” (singular), rather than “things.” Got a little too enthusiastic.

anyone who thinks there is such a thing as a six year old transgender has rocks in their head. We are talking about screwball parents who are ruining the life of their child. Their ought to be a law....!

In less idiotic times the ‘parents’ of such a child would be hauled away for child abuse (or at least given a good beating)

What the hell does a young child know about homosexuality?

The way things are going, even the youngest child in America knows MUCH more about homosexuality than about reading, writing and arithmetic--much less about the religious and cultural heritage of the West.

It was funny, yesterday, we were checking out at Sam’s...

My 6 yr old answered the clerk lady who asked “what grade are you in” with “I’m homeschooled”.

Both the clerk and her helper said “that’s great, you never know what strange things they’ll do in public schools these days”.

So, the sentiment is getting out through the grass roots, indeed.

The first thing the Left’s master did was to attack the language -

“did God really say...”

Good grief! The stupid are definitely de-evolving at an ever faster pace. How many little girls are tomboys at 6? They usually grow up to be normal little ladies. What is wrong with parents? It’s like they search for reasons to b###ch about something. They are doing their little girl no favors by further confusing her.

The world is being over taken by stupid ghouls.

What the hell does a young child know about homosexuality? And why?A neighbor once joked that all children are born homosexual. When I pulled my jaw off the floor he told me "Yeah, didn't you know the opposite sex has kooties?"

We both got a laugh, but I don't think the libs realize it is just a phase.

A cannot think of a worse way to abuse a child than to mess with their minds at such a tender age. “Whom shall we invite for a play date, John or Mary,”the mother asked her 1st grader. “I like to play with boys,” he said, as have boys his age from time immemorial. “Oh, your teacher says you must be what is called “gay or transgendered.” Let’s go tell daddy and everyone on the block. We’re an “enlightened” family. We take you to the doctor for a scraped knee, but we’d never take you for this situation, since it’s all so progressive. “

Me too. But the speed of the descent is increasing tremendously. At this point I expect there will be a crash landing before things improve.

Is there a (legitimate) reason to delay puberty? Why would one choose to have that for their child? Maybe I’m just really ignorant or naive, but I don’t understand this. Thanks.

There are some children with pituitary disorders or early-onset (precocious) puberty of unknown cause. So they can have a device implanted under the skin of the forearm that secretes hormones to reverse/delay puberty. Now, usually those kids are 6 or 8 yrs old.

I have read, however, that some are advocating the use of this to delay puberty in kids who are allegedly “gender confused” so that they can decide which sex they’d like to be before going thru puberty. Yuck.
