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.
I'm not speaking for God. I'm just saying that if God wanted a person to be a boy, he would have made them a boy and if he had wanted the person to be a girl, he would have made them a girl.
Assuming this is a true case of hermaphrodism, why in the heck didn't they switch the kid to a different school? And if he/she is still biologically a girl, which bathroom is she using? And how is this being explained to 4th-graders? As a grandparent, I would not like my grandkids to have to deal with this in elementary school.
Puh-leeze. The girl is NINE. What differences are there? She likes GI Joe better than Barbie so she should start acting like a boy?
She's NINE. NINE!!!
so this "parents" (not mother or father?) have made the medical decision that their child has a mental illness.
This GIRL is so going to have a screwed up life. Did not ANY responsible adult explain the concept of the tom boy phase?
isn't the President of harvard getting excoriated for saying the same thing?
They siad though that she is still biologically female. So that rules out hermaphrodism.
Growing up, I knew a boy whose parents desperetly wanted a girl and they got a boy. The mom couldn't have any more kids. He was the most girly boy in the world and the only boy in dance class. His parents totally screwed him up.
Imagine being a parent of another kid in the class and have to try and explain this one to your kid......
LOL, I have to agree. Same reason.
A BOY NAMED SUE. LOL
ROFLMAO
A lot of hype and advancing of some very evil agendas, under cover of anonymity.
Since the "family" isn't being identified, I have to wonder if these miserable, sick "parents" are a same-sex pair that is preparing the next generation of homosexual-agenda victims. It would certainly not be above that crowd.
How on earth can the teachers not be reporting these parents to the authorities. Oh wait--I answered my own questions. They're freaking teachers. Free to be, you and me. And all that stupid crap.
of these people have no concept of a girl being a "tom boy". Such a phase is normal and beyond the concept of these INSANE PC parents.
One step closer to Civil War II...
Ever heard the term, "A person is more than they sum of their parts"?
Go look up 'intersex' and 'transgender' on the internet, this is not a cut and dry issue.
With parents like these raising kids, it's no wonder kids are like they are today.
Are they suggesting that there is a difference between a male brain and a female brain? That' would be heresy at the local University, wouldn't it?
