And you're perfectly fine the way you are -- no need to be forced into a mold.

Tomboy, just what I was thinking.

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

Protect the child? This child need protection from the stupidity of her parents.

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

As a tomboy, I find this hysterical!

When you were little, did you think of yourself as a boy rather than as a girl? That's the real issue, not whether the boy in question has female chromosomes, was born with female genitals, or likes sports.

It would be amazing how small-minded, ignorant and cruel religious people can be in enforcing their delusions on the rest of us, if we didn't see it happen so often.

In this case, many religious people don't want to acknowledge the obvious truth of the situation--that the child may have the body of a girl, but the brain is that of a boy. Cnservatives like to go on and on and on about how boys' brains are fundamentally different from girls' (they are) and ridicule radical feminists for claiming that there is no inherent difference. So if there is such a thing as a "boy's brain" that is different from a girl's brain, why is it so impossible that a boy's brain would exist in a girl's body?

This is a fundamental lack of imagination by closed-minded religious people who believe that sex can only be a binary thing (all male or all female) because that's how they read the Bible.

It requires people to be deliberately ignorant about the human body, about how hormones and other chemicals affect brain function, and about the development of the brain in the womb. If the human brain actually does develop in the fetus (and it does), then why couldn't a dose of the wrong chemical at the wrong time change things? If the human brain does not develop in the fetus, why not just allow abortion on demand? If you have any respect for the lives on unborn children as individual human beings, then you must consider this.

The basis for outlawing many drugs is that they cause changes in brain function. Substances (chemicals, etc.) affect how the brain functions. If women take steroids, for example, they can develop manly features and their brains think more like men's brains. What is so complicated about this?

Many religious people deliberately make themselves ignorant because they don't want to know things that conflict with the Bible. It's shameful.

I always kinda wondered why some girls are tomboys and others are prissy I-want-to-be-a-ballerina types?
