RENO, Nev. -- Hundreds of LGBT supporters marched through downtown Reno Saturday afternoon for northern Nevada's Pride Parade, where for one nine-year-old, it was a place to express who she really is.
"I really like sleepovers and make up parties and tea parties," Cee Cee Ott, 9, said.
It wasn't always like that for Ott. Cee Cee was born Conrad.
"We didn't see the transgender come out until she was about three. It didn't really start hitting that she wanted to wear her sister's clothes, she wanted to wear wigs," said Shanna Ott, her parent.
It became a struggle for Cee Cee to wake up every day as someone she knew she wasn't.

"Sadly, suicide is a big possibility in the kids future.
The run-up to that will be a childhood fraught with bullying.
You mean like actually striving and DOING something? Instead of being celebrated for what he "identifies" at?
Totally agree.
Let me ask in all seriousness to the transgender proponents: What does it mean to identify as female or male?
Looks to me like the mother is leaning right against Conrad with a scowl, to make sure he spouts the right lines. That isn’t a supportive presence, that is oppressive.
To which a responsible parent would have just said "No".
Really? Children are born with names now, like Cabbage Patch Kids? Lousy writing, lousy editing.
Their glasses match, as well. Compared to clothing, glasses are much more readily identified as a part of the person/child. Again, I agree with those who say that mom wants a mini-me
Run away and join the circus, kid.
The picture shows a boy trying to be a girl. The child does not really look like a girl to me.
My two boys, way back at around ages 7-10, had pony tails, as did their dad, Don-o. They looked great in the long gold brocade vestments which, as Russian Orthodox acolytes, they wore at the altar.
Even my Ben (now a 2nd Lt. Marine Aviator in the USMC and "all guy") could have been described in some ways as a "sensitive" 10-year-old. But understand: he was a sensitive, long-haired, 10-year-old BOY. There was no reason to think he or his brother would have to be castrated to find their "true" selves!
It's the perversely narrow rigidity of the gender-binary stereotype that feeds right into this transgender hogwash.
A girl who likes to climb trees, doesn't mind putting a worm on a hook, and can out-run her older brother, is still a girl. A boy who likes glitter and sprays sweet-smelling stuff on his hair is still a boy.
These narrow, rigid pro-transgender "parents" ought to shed their biases and spare their son Conrad the irreversible trauma they have evidently planned for him. He doesn't need injectable hormonal confusion and genital mutilation. He needs to be understood as the boy he is.
The “parent” pictured in the article seems more than a tad immature.
“During this time though, Cee Cee’s father gave up all custody. Ott’s mother and other family cut her out.”
There’s the problem. I’ll bet some research into the mom’s background would reveal some interesting anomalies. Messed up people often raise messed up people.
This kid is just trying to cope in any way that he can. His mom is encouraging him because it is feeding some sick need inside herself and there is no father or anyone else to yank him back to reality. He desperately needs help, but society is falling all over itself to convince him that he should be the twisted human being they “know” he was born to be. At some point, our culture is going to have to pay for being so abjectly stupid.
Oh, brother.
Without getting into specifics ... if the 10 year old “me” were to be dropped unceremoniously into today’s government school system, he would almost certainly be diagnosed, drugged, counseled, bent, folded, spindled, and mutilated. I shudder to think. Such treatment would almost certainly have prevented becoming the hairy pirate that I am today.
That’s probably what the demonically inspired left wants.
I just transcribed a meeting of the U.S Commission on Civil Rights and the subject was LGBTQ protections. Some panelists were men dressed as women and vice versa. (Whatever you do, don't Google a photo of Mara Keisling)
They consider it a medical condition called gender dysphoria. When you identify as the opposite gender it's so part of who you are that you are that gender. Simple as that.
They believe a trans man should be able to use the ladies' room, participate on women's teams and that people who object need "education" on what transgenderism is. We are ignorant, you see.
Cee Cee wants to be a transgender surgeon when it grows up —
So give it a Chainsaw, instead of a doll for it’s birthday?
He’s not an “it”, he’s a little boy whose parent is using him for attention.
