When did deviant behavior become virtue?

The liberal's war on society continues.

The child could be intersexed, have some chromosomal problem. My uncle had klinefelter syndrome—he was XXY, meaning he had an extra X chromosome. I’ve read about people who are mosaics—a blending of two embryos into one person. It goes un-noticed if the two embryos are of the same gender, but when they are opposite gender it creates obvious issues.

Where’s John Stormer these days? Time to update “None Dare Call It Education.”

“Why were we not notified sooner. We received the letter today, the discussion at school is tomorrow.”

Ummm...so you had no time to organize a protest and contact the media to cover it? /blondism

9 years old? I was busy blowing up models with firecrackers and M80s. My how things have changed.

My first thought is this the result of a family where there are two mommies or two daddies.

Gay’s with kids will create some strange feelings in the kid.

It’s ironic how liberals always want to talk about the “slippery slope,” as it pertains to free speech and the right of expression or their privacy........

The liberal mind is a sick place.

The Haverford School District consulted experts on transgender children, then sent letters to parents advising them that the guidance counselor would meet with the school’s 100 third-grade students to explain why their classmate would now wear girls’ clothes and be called by a girl’s name.

Third grade?...Are you kidding me? When will this nonsense end? Stop educating 100 third graders to explain why one boy wants to now wear girls clothes? Holy crap!

It's the next logical step in public education...push down the social engineering experiments to the parental level.

This youngsters parents biological progenitors really ARE progressive.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

His parents are taking this too far. When my little sister was that age, she was a tomboy, and she thought she was ‘meant to’ be a boy, and dressed in my brother’s hand-me-downs, and she played sports and did ‘boy’ stuff. Eventually, she grew out of it, and now she’s a more or less normal teenage girl, she’s got a boyfriend, she’s excited about going to prom and wearing her prom dress and getting Converse to match her dress (I guess that’s some new fashion thing, but I’ve even considered black and white Converse to go with my suit).

These parents need to be horse-whipped.

If the child has a pee-pee and XY chromosomes, he's a boy.

Somebody should check this family. I'm sensing sex abuse.

Here's the crux of the matter from the end of the article:

Some medical experts think parents should not let a child change gender roles at a young age.

Paul McHugh, a psychiatrist and professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health who studied sexual reassignment surgery in the 1970s, said a school's decision to support a student's transition could have long-term psychological consequences.

"They do not have a right to stop the child, but it's different when they gather everyone around and say, 'Johnnie is Jeanie,' " he said. Society, he added, should not support the decision of an immature person.

There is no evidence that the transition ultimately helps the person, he added.

McHugh said he reached his conclusions after studying the issue for 30 years, especially in the 1970s, when Hopkins was pioneering sexual-reassignment surgery.

"People came to us saying that if we changed them, we'd solve all their problems," he said. "So we changed them, and their problems remained."

Also from the end of the article...

Garcia says letting her child dress and act as a girl was the right decision.

"I went from a suicidal child to a child who tries out for a lead part in the play," she said. "I knew society wasn't going to be accepting, but my choices were, do this and have a happy, alive girl or have an unhappy, dead boy. So we did what we needed."

These parents are the problem. They remind me of Ned Flanders's beatnik parents on the Simpsons: "We tried nothing and we're all out of ideas."

This child and many like him/her has a mental defect, plain and simple.

[DesertSapper]

Morally corrupt parents producing a confused child. Might as well chalk this kid up on the LOST column.

Munchausen (sorry about sp) syndrome.

Seems the mother must have wanted a girl and this is the net result.

[Question_Assumptions]

Your legal sex should correspond to your sexual plumbing. If you've got the plumbing of a boy and want to be a girl or vice-versa, than let the doctor change your plumbing or live with it. If you pee standing up, you don't belong in the little girl's room and if you can't use a urinal without disrobing, you don't belong in the little boy's room.

Deuteronomy 22:5 tells us that God despises cross-dressing. So this issue has the overtones of being a pagan-mentality attack on the image of God (Genesis 1:27), in my opinion.
