Parents: 4th-Grade Girl To Become Boy Mom Says Youngster Has Male Brain
METHUEN, Mass. -- A fourth-grader who was attending a Methuen elementary school as a girl before February vacation has returned to school as a boy.
The parents of the 9-year-old child said the youngster was born with the body of a girl, but the brain of a boy.
They have asked that he be referred to and treated as a boy by teachers and other students, and school officials are accommodating the request. The parents have even changed the child's name.
The child's mother told The Eagle-Tribune that the family made the decision after consulting with medical professionals. She said the child is still biologically a girl.
The mother has requested that the family not be identified to protect the child.
School Superintendent C. Phillip Littlefield said there is nothing harmful about the child being in the school.
The easiest way is by doing a CAT scan of the BTSc section of the hypothalamus - it's 62% larger in hetero males than in hetero females. In cases of true transsexuality, they have (for instance) male parts, but a small (female) BTSc, or have female parts, but an enlarged (male) BTSc. That was the point of my earlier post - it's a medically verifiable condition.
"The parents of the 9-year-old child said the youngster was born with the body of a girl, but the brain of a boy."
Facinating.
These "parents" have the body of a human being, but the brain of a wild turkey.
...what's the correlation, I wonder.
There's a Chicago Hope ep about a boy raised as a girl, based on a true story about a boy from Winnipeg, Canada.
"Boys Will Be Girls"
First broadcast on CBS, Feb. 3, 2000
John Heath directed, script by Linda McGibney.
Dr. Jack McNeil (Mark Harmon) is surprised to discover that his teenage "female" patient had been born a boy. At birth, a doctor performing a routine circumcision made an error [cutting off the boy's penis] and advised the parents to let the child live life as a girl. Dr. McNeil, Dr. Jeremy Hanlon (Lauren Holly) and Stuart Brickman (Alan Rosenberg) team up and go to court to help the boy win his right to restorative surgery.
Stupid, stupid liberals.
Wouldn't it be less hassle just to get her into Volleyball?
I don't know how this could happen a stone's throw from one of the best private schools in the USA, Phillips Academy Andover. Both W and 41 went to that school.
ROFL re "Personal hygene atom!" :)
I was lucky. My Mom never listened to me. LOL
LOL!! Thanks for clearing that up for me!
From one Poly to another!
What the parents have is a girl who will be good in math. They ought to shut up and concentrate on getting the kid a scholarship to MIT.
And that accounts for hermaphrodytes how? Genetalia is only one way to identify gender.
This article is extremely nonspecific.
Do they have a volley ball program at MIT? A volleyball scholarship to MIT sounds like the way to go.
Of course.
I think there's a sci-fi story (or several) on that. I think maybe a movie about it, too (I've read so many stories over my lifetime, my memory is a bit fuzzy). Plus, there's that Meg Ryan-Alec Baldwin movie, I guess, too. It's a popular subject for fiction, I suppose.
No kiddin'?
Well for Heaven's sake then there it is!
...it's W's fault.
"strap-on" spelled backwards is "no parts." I think that's the coolest thing. Right there with "Evian" [Water] being "Naive" backwards.
Very well said.
Mom and Dad obviously have the brain of a tree stump!
