See Tom be Jan.... transgendered children with parent approval...

[Devastatin Dave]

I could not believe I read this without barfing all over my screen.

Sounds like the mom and dad have allowed the liberal deviants of the transgendered mentally ill movement sink their claws into their child. Sickening... What's your opinion...

HE IS 5 YEARS OLD! At 5 I wanted to be a power ranger. Oh well the parents will reap there sick and twisted child in about 13 years. At 5 you know nothing. Disgusting

Well, as long as they don't cut anything off, and they leave the choice to 'come back' open and completely up to the kid, I'm not against it actually.

I'm not saying parents should encourage this, but the behaviour of the kid makes it pretty clear that he doesn't want to be a boy. I don't see why you should try and force it, with any luck, hormones will do their work eventually.

My thoughts exactly.

I am unfailingly amused by how some people are so offended (to the point of being physically ill) by something as silly and harmless as a 5 year old boy who wants to wear girls' clothes.

On the other hand, if the kid was running around with toy guns pretending to kill people, it would probably draw nothing more than an indulgent smile and a pat on the head...

I can't wait for the "pervertsare normal" crowd to chime in. I love the part when the mom said that at 2 her kid told her that, "I want the fairy princess to come and make my penis into a vagina". What 2 year old uses words like "penis" and "vagina". This sounds very bizarre and quite frankly, sounds like this kid is being "guided" into this sick lifestyle.
Love the "role model" Mark Angelo Cummings. Nothing like a crack headed pervert teaching your kids the benefits of altering nature to satisfy your perversions.
This is a sick, sick world.

It's probably not what the kid said word for word, he might have said something about not wanting a wee-wee or being like his sisters *down there* or something...

I don't think any parent wants this to happen, no matter what you think of us liberals, Dave. It must be horrible for the kid.

[Devastatin Dave]

Doc, you read the whole article right? There is no way this kid isn't being coached into this "choice". If i was the Dad i would have stepped in long ago and not allowed this BS. Daddy needs to grow some balls before his son cuts his own off.

Why not ? The kid said he was a girl, the parents accept this as a phase, the *phase* lasts for 3+ years and now the kid has to go to school. What's the big deal ?

Right, and your kid might have found a pair of scissors one day, not the best approach usually.

Look Dave there are only two options here:

1. The kid is a boy, in mind and body, and will eventually start behaving like one.
2. the kid is a girl with the body of a boy, in which case surpressing this will only lead to trauma

So they're doing the best they can. I'm sure they're hoping this will pass, but you can't force your kid to be something it is not. You can't turn an atheist into a believer by telling him he has to. You can't turn a homosexual into a heterosexual because he has too, sure, he might get married, but will he be happy. So honestly dave, which would you rather have ; kids that acted normal, or kids that were happy ?

Daddy needs to grow some balls before his son cuts his own off.

Right, because nature always gets it right

Lauren was sitting at her computer working when two-year-old Nicholas, who, like all the Anderson children, had a frank understanding of anatomy, came to her with a request: "I want the fairy princess to come and make my penis into a vagina," he said.

Looks like a direct quote to me. Reading the article, it does sound like the mother, if not outright encouraging the behavior, has done nothing to deter it.

[doc_bean]

Have you ever been interviewed ?

Never thrust what seems to be direct quote, unless (perhaps) the interviewee has checked the article before print.

Why should she deter it? The only harm will come from prudes.

I had my first sexual urge at 3 years old. I knew enough then to know that I was into chicks. Is it so impossible to know that you'd rather not be a dude?

Honestly?

I think the sexual hormones aren't truly active at the time, no?

An adult doing this kind of...lifestyle...

Uncomfortable?

I saw a story about this man on TV, and I felt the story was relevant. He lost his genitalia in an electronic circumcision accident at 8 months and was reassigned and raised, unsuccessfully, as a girl. Here is Wikipedia's article.

This kid is going to get screwed up. He does not understand what he is doing, and his twisted parents are only too willing to go along because of deluded liberalistic thought (note that they never once said he shouldn't dress or act like a girl).

I don't really care that he wants to wear girlie clothes. What I am concerned is people actually supporting such lunacy -this is a five year old child, not an adult- and pretending he is a girl:

But a growing coalition of therapists, scientists, and activists disagree and refer to such children—even those as young as three years old—as transgendered, insisting that the child's new identification shouldn't be discouraged.

These people really disgust me. They want to force their agenda on children, without regard for the child, as a result of radical leftist thought about sexuality.

When you were five did you want to wear male clothes?

What agenda? Enough with the crazy conspiracy talk already.

[Papewaio]

Shouldn't such a decision be made as an adult after you have gone through puberty. Puberty has a lot of impact on ones thought processes and gender identity.

You have to make a decision as a child one way or another, nudity is not allowed.

It's right in the bloomin' article, for crying outloud. The part I quoted.

OH MY GOODNESS! Someone decided to turn their dick inside out when they were just a kid! Let's all build talking points around them and judge them!

Kinda makes you think, who is the bigger freak... the guy with the wierd self-inflicted wound, or the nuts who shout and point.

So someone did something really wierd and freaky with their body. Who... fucking... cares? It doesn't affect any of you. Besides, it's their body. If they want to pull their liver out and staple it to their forehead, it's their right and their decsion; they are the ones who will have to live with the consequences.
