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.

Undoubtedly they are insisting on a private restroom for their 'boy'.

It's a good thing all the religious people who posted to this thread know so much about biology and human psychology.

After reading this addressed to me specifically I can only assume you are either not in control of your faculties or you are a religious bigot.

FR does not like religious bigots and neither do I...

I suggest you read the following so that you understand just what Free Republic is all about:

Statement by the founder of Free Republic

As a conservative site, Free Republic is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and-pro America. We oppose all forms of liberalism, socialism, fascism, pacifism, totalitarianism, anarchism, government enforced atheism, abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, racism, wacko environmentalism, judicial activism, etc. We also oppose the United Nations or any other world government body that may attempt to impose its will or rule over our sovereign nation and sovereign people. We believe in defending our borders, our constitution and our national sovereignty.

Free Republic is private property. It is not a government project, nor is it funded by government or taxpayer money. We are not a publicly owned entity nor are we an IRS tax-free non-profit organization. We pay all applicable taxes on our income. We are not connected to or funded by any political party, news agency, or any other entity. We sell no merchandise, product or service, and we offer no subscriptions or paid memberships. We accept no paid advertising or promotions. We are funded solely by donations (non tax deductible gifts) from our readers and participants.

We aggressively defend our God-given and first amendment guaranteed rights to free speech, free press, free religion, and freedom of association, as well as our constitutional right to control the use and content of our own personal private property. Despite the wailing of the liberal trolls and other doom & gloom naysayers, we feel no compelling need to allow them a platform to promote their repugnant and obnoxious propaganda from our forum. Free Republic is not a liberal debating society. We are conservative activists dedicated to defending our rights, defending our constitution, defending our republic and defending our traditional American way of life.

Take your anti-religious cr*p elsewhere

There is nothing anti-religious in that post. I have nothing against religious people who reconcile their faith with science (aka: REALITY). I'm anti-ignorance, whether the ignorance takes the form of blind ideology (to Communism, or Objectivism, or whatever) or blind religious faith, or any other kind.

It's not my fault if so many of you people choose to embrace ignorance. I have no responsibility to treat ignorant opinions as if they were intelligent.

Made fun of at school?


That, sadly enough would be hate speech and the offending child would be punished and probably the whole familt sent to re-education..er, I mean counseling.

Most liberals blame others as well -they are your actions -control yourself --there is no excuse for being a bigot.

We oppose all forms of liberalism, socialism, fascism, pacifism, totalitarianism, anarchism, government enforced atheism, abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, racism, wacko environmentalism, judicial activism, etc.

And where does it say we're opposed to all forms of science or that we elevate the Christian Bible over everything else? I think you're misreading the point. In fact, it says specifically that it's only opposed to "government enforced atheism," not all atheism. It says nothing about government-enforced secularism, either.

we feel no compelling need to allow them a platform to promote their repugnant and obnoxious propaganda from our forum. Free Republic is not a liberal debating society.

How is it "liberal" to believe in inherent, immutable biological differences between the sexes? How is it "liberal" to look to science for answers to difficult questions or odd situations? How is it "liberal" to want a kid to grow up in a body that matches his brain?

How is it repugnant or obnoxious to believe that science gives us a better window into reality than a certain interpretation of the Bible? Even the Pope said truth cannot conflict with Truth, so if evolution is what really happened, then it's compatible with Christianity. It's not hard to reconcile religion with science, you just have to accept that there is some doubt in religion.

When you refuse to doubt something and instead follow it blindly, and you discard information that doesn't meet your ideological test, and then you base your decisions on deliberately incomplete information, then YES, YOU ARE IGNORANT, and it's not hateful to say so.

You can pack up your straw man arguments and use them elsewhere. Stick with the facts and stop justifying your blanket statements of religious hatred.

As I wrote before -I would suggest you address those you specifically disagree with RATHER than spew anti-religious generalizations... IF in doing this you still want to resort to ad hominem attack I would suggest you have no facts to back up your argument(s) and it would probably be best to defer responding...

If you want a rational debate, why don't you tell me what's wrong with my arguments, rather than calling me names?

I think we all know the answer to this one.

If you take a female fetus and expose it to large amounts of androgens (male hormones) while it's in the womb

NO! Then it would come out with disfigured or ambiguous genitalia.

As usual you don't know what the hell you're talking about.

My instructor told me most girls can't.

Because no one trains them how. There's a simple trick to it, and once you get it down, it's easy.

So what? Are you saying it's impossible to have a male brain without the ambiguous genitalia?

I suggest you are the one that follow something blindly, you seem to support the appalling nonsense that these parents are foolishly involved in.

How is it "liberal" to want a kid to grow up in a body that matches his brain?

This is the kind of mentally ill sick mentality/ideology that enables mad scientists/surgeons to be allowed to perform perverted Frankenstein operations on children that are clearly suffering from a mental disorder, note the article stated the child is biologically FEMALE?

And where does it say we're opposed to all forms of science

Can you point out on this thread where anyone said that FR was "opposed to all forms of science"?!? Didn't think you could.

or that we elevate the Christian Bible over everything else? While you're at it can you point out where this was stated?

Dbeers is correct, You are making blanket statements about Christians on the forum in general, otherwise you'd have the sense to address the poster directly in place of making snide condescending remarks about the religion in general.

And no YOU ARE not IGNORANT, you know exactly what you're doing, and you deserve nothing but contempt!

Over or under androgen production during gestation causes intesex disorder which affects the genitalia, NOT the brain.

As usual you're advancing "gay" science theory that has never been replicated or proven valid.

For someone who pretends to know science you usual fall on the side of homosexual propaganda.

Thanks for not disappointing.

Next you'll be promoting your debunked fingertip homo propaganda.

What is the basis for your slavish kowtowing to moral relativist/fraudulent "science" masquerading as fact, which is but an arm of the feminist/"gay" agenda?

You seem to support any and all homosexualism, "gender bending" crap that pops up on FR.
