She's not intersex. But I think you having heartattack over nothing, the child is not going on hormones or anything like that.

Also, there are transgender people who say they knew they felt wrong about themselves when they were four years old.

I think a 'wait and see' approach would be best.

[ThreeYearLurker]

It's called the y chromosome. If she has one in EVERY CELL in her body its a boy. If you have one in NO CELL in your body, you're a girl. Case closed.

I think a 'wait and see' approach would be best.

And I think that kind of approach is crazy. This is a nine year old child. She doesn't know what she should be. She barely has any hormomes yet.

SHE IS BIOLOGICALLY A FEMALE!!!!! SHE IS NOT INTERSEX OR TRANSGENDER.

What about the brain issue raised earlier. If this kid's brain is female, but the body is male, what does that make this kid?

[Boardwalk]

Covergirls, right by the shopping district that used to be the Combat Zone. They did clean out that zone pretty well though. Besides, anyone who wants a nudie bar drives to Montreal.

[Mo1]

The mother has requested that the family not be identified to protect the child.

Ummm .. I'm thinking everyone in the school already knows who this kid is

20 years from now .. this kids will be suing the State and school

[Boardwalk]

How does a boy use a tampon?

[BykrBayb]

These parents suck.

Oh, I didn't know he/she had two dads. K

[Paul C. Jesup]

G-d speaks for Himself on the matter through His Word. Since this is a conservative news site, it stands to reason that there are religious conservatives here who believe in Truth.

Conservativism is more logical than emotional, and a lot of people on this thread are letting their emotions get the better of them without thinking things through.

Note that religion and truth are not always together and butt heads now and then.

LOL!

brain of a boy

She must excel in mathematics.

[Lazamataz]

As a tomboy, I find this hysterical!

At least YOUR parents didn't try to superglue a hot dog to the front of you.

[AppyPappy]

Maybe she couldn't hit the toilet when peeing.

[cwiz24]

Pray tell--how do you determine what gender a child's brain is? She may just be a tomboy, as noted already here. Heck--I was when I was her age and my parents didn't rename me Steve.

[redangus]

I thought that all the Liberals at Harvard had decided that there was no difference in the brains of boys and girls, hence the Summers fiasco. Isn't Harvard also in Boston? These people need to get their stories straight.

[Boardwalk]

Not to mention that when this kid grows up they will drive like a woman. (I still can't parallel park.) My instructor told me most girls can't.

[Modernman]

Oh come on with the Boston cracks. I live in Boston, and this aint' San Francisco. It's practically puritanical here. Try to find one stinkin nudy bar here, and then go to Texas and compare.

I guess some people expect Sodom and Gommorrah in Massachusetts. Kind of silly, considering that the bars close at 1 AM, IIRC. Despite some of the silliness of Massachusetts' government, I imagine the average Christian conservative would be more comfortable living in "blue" Boston than "red" New Orleans.

Does Heather/Heath have two mommies? Inquiring minds want to know.

[BykrBayb]

Good idea. And try not to lose anything important during the move. ; )
