In an upcoming episode of the Australian "60 Minutes," a 12-year-old transgender boy details how he began the transition to a become a girl, only to change his mind two years later.

As a young child, Patrick Mitchell had always wanted to be a girl, the Independent reported. "You wish you could just change everything about you, you just see any girl and you say, ‘I'd kill to be like that,'" Mitchell told interviewers.

After speaking with doctors, Mitchell was diagnosed with gender dysphoria and began taking estrogen hormones in anticipation of a full transition. Mitchell grew out his hair and the treatment caused the prepubescent boy to grow a pair of breasts.

Any doctor taking part in a 12 year old “transition” should lose his/her license and do some time behind bars. The parents should lose parental rights for life and join the doc in the slammer. A 12 year old can’t get his/her ears pierced without permission. Insane.

“It seems that EVERY SINGLE liberal idea is wrong and has horrible ‘unintended’ consequences.”

That is because every one of their “ideas” is based on pure fantasy.

It’s all they know...their fantasies.

Prepubescence is easily distracted by superficial sexual distinctions. A little girl may consider herself more like a boy because she enjoys boyish activities.
Similarly a little boy may enjoy more girlish play. The girl may fantasize becoming a fire fighter. The boy may be fascinated by fashion design. Tese are natural, normal and healthy interests. Treating this behavior as a desire to change one’s sex creates a mental health and biological disaster.
It is not possible to reverse chromosomal identity. Butchering the body of a child to create the appearance of the opposite sex is criminal depravity.
An adult seeking to create opposite sex appearance is the definition of perversion.

It looked pretty obvious from the account.

Popularity contest! Girls are cool! Girls get the looks! Girls don’t need to be bold like boys, something that a sensitive boy may find awkward to embrace unless he learns to do it like Jesus (as when He wept at Lazarus’ tomb then raised Lazarus, reversing Lazarus’ decay as He did so).

Dear Lord! Rescue us from this deadly shallowness!

Body dysmorphia is mental illness. Appropriate help is in order. Not consigning BS

As a male, I have always loved females around me (in an ethical way!!!) but I am happy to report that I never, ever had a moment’s thought of needing to become one. I feel really really sorry for these creatures, of either sex, who cannot be comfortable “in their own skin” and with their own biological sex. I have never felt anything but “male” and feel really sorry for people who are so mixed up and mentally ill.

“Some studies have indicated that at least a portion of children who are diagnosed with gender dysphoria ultimately embrace the sex they were assigned at birth, New York Magazine reported. One study conducted by the Center of Expertise on Gender Dysphoria at VU University Medical Center, a famous gender clinic in Amsterdam, found that around two-thirds of gender dysphoric minors eventually desisted. That is, the minors ultimately reverted to identify with the gender corresponding with their birth sex. Another study, conducted in conjunction with Toronto’s Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), found 88 percent of male minors ultimately desisted.”

In other words, it is a MENTAL issue that eventually resolves itself. The people that keep pushing gender transition should be removed from the medical community.

Funny how things can change with age. I remember as a young boy thinking off the shoulder dresses looked odd, like they weren’t completely on or something. Within a couple of years the sight of long auburn hair cascading over beautiful female shoulders would make me weak in the knees. Still does.

A 12 year old cannot drive a car, buy alcohol, enter into a legal contract, vote or drop out of school in any country on this planet that I am aware of.

But the can decide the want to have major irreversible permanent life changing surgery?............

Be careful lest by the devil’s distraction we call everything by which we reflect the love of God (true liberality even in stern moments) to be anathema.

This is NOT LIBERAL AT ALL. This is ILLIBERAL. It callously denies the special reflection of God that He purposed to be embraced and expressed by the phenomena that we know as both sexes.

Parents and Doctors who are involved with transgendering anyone under the age of 18 should be charged with child abuse and child endangerment.

A child has no idea what transgendering is.

When I was a little girl I wanted to grow up to be a heterosexual woman with a husband and children.

I have no doubt that someone on the left thinks this is wrong.

This business of letting small children decide they can change genders is dangerous and evil. Little kids engage in magical thinking all the time. They talk about being astronauts, superheroes, and even T-rex’s and sharks when they grow up. My grandson wanted to be a shark when he grew up, he finally figured out that wasn’t going to happen when he was about six.

I also read that transgenders who have the sex change surgery are 40% more likely to commit suicide than a normal person. “Transgenderism” is almost always associated with other forms of serious mental illness.

Boys normally learn the kind of affirming grace before females that later blossoms into adult romance, at their mother’s kind knee.

Get a woman who is a harridan and a sensitive son and this is knocked all jabberwocky. He will seek affirmation of his self in all manner of distorted milieus.

One of my grandsons had a tooth that never grew in and was told that nothing could be done until he was an adult.

They waited for 15-16 years——and had it corrected.

This was a tooth——not sex organs,and the were advised to wait.

I do believe God will let it get worse and worse until the reason for it heaves into plain sight. Humanity has turned its back on God’s love and has taken the former vestures of that and twisted them at the devil’s will.

“Mere normality” is not the cure — in fact it is the effect (writ generally — we must always honor holy variations) of the Cure: the embrace of the love of God, the love that comes from God and that we reflect back to Him as our heartfelt offering.
