While I feel for Hannah, the victim of a mental illness that is not being properly treated, HE is not a GIRL.
So if we assume that some young man at some point finds her attractive...then what.
You wine her, dine her, reach your hand up her skirt only to find you’re holding a tree trunk.
This is the kind of stuff that gets people killed.
Better to treat the symptoms of the dysphoria, and train him to be a man.
The real source of mental illness here is not poor Jonah, but his parents.
I agree. I feel sorry for “Hannah”. He was probably born to passively abusive parents who don’t know where their needs end and his begin.
I scanned the article, which is really no different than many I have read in the last few months, and didn’t see much mention of the parents. They are the ones we need to be looking at. In most of these situations, the kids’ stereotypical problem is a symptom of the parents’ mental illness and their resulting misguided behavior toward their child.
The thing that enrages me the most is the four states, including Christie’s, that make it illegal for “Hannah” to get the corrective treatment he needs to fix what’s wrong in his head. Christie signed that rotten legislation and I despise him for it. In doing so, he condemned a whole lot of future adults to misery and death.
