The media has drawn the line, and I suppose I'm on the wrong side. I'd wager most here are as well. I believe this is a messed up situation. These are two young people whose minds are telling them that they are a different gender than they are. They find doctors who literally mutilate their bodies, pump them full of hormones, and then proceed to tell them they are a different gender than what they are. However, they can't change their chromosomes.
But now that the teens' physical appearance matches their gender, both of them are excited to be able to go swimming, boating and sunbathe like other couples.
Snip
In the future, Arin might consider having genital surgery, but this can be complicated, and for now he's delighted with his new body.
So essentially, the media is calling her a male, but she still has not only xx chromosomes but a vagina. Remember how the pregnant "man" had a uterus?
The world is upside down.
the mental illness is treated as normal and we are the ones living in fantasyland of common sense
Can Arin get a “chubbie” when thinking about Katie?
Who you desire sexually is inborn and immutable.
Your actual physical sex, encoded in your every cell, is just a matter of opinion.
Their gender was not changed through medical operations which changed their sex. Gender is how they are characterized as either masculine, feminine, or neutral and is changed or maintained by those who write or speak of or to them.
“she” still has not only xx chromosomes but also a constructed simulation of a vagina.
why would anyone mutilate a minor?
After years of introspection and gender identity counseling, I have come to the conclusion that I was actually born as a complex person who was intended to be three men and three women. My doctor is scheduling my surgery next week to arrange for me to have three sets of both sexes reproductive organs attached to various parts of my body, and my psychiatrist is helping me to manage living with these six distinct personalities.
Gotta love the medical and psychiatric professions - they are helping me so much along my way to becoming the person I was meant to be!
If it is all genetics, let’s look at the genes. I bet the genes still show what the surgery doesn’t.
Perversion in the extreme. These children need their souls to be saved...
Christ died for them, and I pray they find Him.
I’m sure they will have beautiful children together. What? Oh nevermind.
Bring back nut houses!
Awarded free lifetime membership in the democrat party?
The freak show marches on! Next, these pervs will get the ACLU to file suit claiming a constitutional “right” to adopt innocent babies and pass on the perversion to future generations. What would Judge Judy say?
Oh my Freekin’ Gawd!
Words fail me.
I must find some way to mutilate my body and completely alter my physical appearance so that I can be hailed as "courageous" in my struggle to find my inner self and be profiled on some prime-time television show - maybe even have my life story dramatized on some Lifetime TV movie in which women all across America will weep for me and call me a hero.
Therefore, and with no further ado, I am going to re-invent myself as the person I always wanted to be deep inside - that is to say, anybody but the person I am now. Furthermore, I shall have a team of surgeons at my disposal to re-shape my body accordingly because I'm SPECIAL and I DESERVE to be whoever I want to be.
Please pay attention to me as I transform my physical appearance into something that has zero resemblance to my current self. I shall no longer be that boring white middle-aged guy with the pot belly. You are going to be seeing the new me profiled on a television near you and I'm already picking out the dramatic musical soundtrack that will accompany the breathless narration of my story. Is Barbara Walters available?
Mutilated mentally ill boy meets mutilated mentally ill girl. Can they get married and adopt children to raise with mental illness?
Sick.
Here is a news video about these two:
