When did deviant behavior become virtue?
The liberal's war on society continues.

“What do you do when a 9-year-old student, with the full support of his parents, decides that he is no longer a boy and instead is a girl?”
Point and laugh hysterically?
To: Owl_Eagle
This kid needs to be transferred to a different school, IMO. Perhaps this kid is a lost cause, or maybe he does have problems, but no need to subject the other kids to it. Move him/her.

What happens? Shot the parents for stupidity.
Nine years old - there is no sexual identity.
These parents are not parents at all.
Poor child.

Kid, you've got a "pee-pee".
You're a boy.
Deal with it.
Kid's parents: You're a couple of pervy little freaks. Quit messin' with the kid's head.

Kids at this age are figuring out their identify for themselves. They need guidance, not help in messing themselves up forever.

What about the trans-species students? Why do they have to suffer abuse?

Reading this again, the boy is quite smart. He sees how Society values girls more than boys. He sees, that at this stage our societal evolution, girls are better off than boys and are treated much better. Age 9. Think about it.

Consider the use of restroom and locker room facilities the child?
That ought to be really interesting.
In California the law is already on the side of the “transgendered” and against discrimination in the use of such facilities in public schools.

"decides that he is no longer a boy and instead is a girl?"
If it's happening at the age of 9, it's not a "decision."
The school shouldn't allow this situation - the child should be sent to a different school as a girl and no one should be told.

Liberal moral relativism has erased the stigma of shame, which at one time suppressed these types of behavior. Now, they’re just another victim class in search of a governmental funding source. Pathetic.

Nine years old - there is no sexual identity. Baloney! At nine years old (indeed, much younger) boys are very much aware of being boys (and not girls); girls are very much aware of being girls (and not boys). They may not be fully aware of all the ramifications of that difference, but they're certainly aware of the difference.

Kid, you've got a "pee-pee". You're a boy. Deal with it.Also, he's an XY. Even if they cut off his pee pee, he'll always been an XY. Males can't become femals.

I agree. I thought I was the Incredible Hulk when I was that age. My parents didn't try to force the school to accomodate my imagination. Coincidentally, had I thought I was Wonder Woman they might have decided to unplug the television...
