ORIGINAL: Kaliko FR Here is an older, but slightly more balanced, article about this child. Transgender kids: Painful quest to be who they are But here is what I honestly still don't get. From the article: "Transgender children experience a disconnect between their sex, which is anatomy, and their gender, which includes behaviors, roles and activities. In Thomas' case, he has a male body, but he prefers female things likes skirts and dolls, rather than pants and trucks." And "Throughout his childhood, Thomas wanted to read Wonder Woman comics rather than Superman, wear rhinestone-studded hairbands instead of baseball caps and play with dolls rather than action figures. And, his parents said, he kept insisting he was a girl." Reading Wonder Woman, wearing skirts, and playing with dolls doesn't make a person female. So why are we trying to change the body to match the perception? Also from the article: "Moreno and Lobel allowed their child pick his own clothes at age 8. Thomas chose girl's clothing and also picked four bras." Yeah, no eight year old needs bras, male or female, save for the few early-developed young girls that we know are out there. This alone tells me that the guardians are a little fucked in the head. A training bra, maybe, for a young girl who is interested in what's ahead of her, sure. Four bras? For what, dress up? That's fucked up. Here are the problems; First this runs to interfering with the religion of the carpet munchers, where does the gubmint, anyone outside the home have the 'legitimate' authority to tell you which religion to raise your kid? Is circumcision outlawed? How about choosing the sex of hermaphrodites, is that outlawed? Next you have the asswipe(s) next door carving out specific slots someone must fit into, giving it a name, then creating a complete system around those 'titles'. Examining these issues closer it gets to what is worse, a little boy raised in a man hater environment forced to fit into a 'publically' defined slot for the purpose of gubmint, who is never comfortable as a boy, or a little boy who fits naturally into the environment he was brought up in? How can he know what being a little boy is if he identifies as a little girl and is raised as a little girl in an all girl environment? How do you know you missed something if you never experienced it in the first place? Which goes full circle back to religion and gubmint. Religion being the choice of the parent, gubmint creating slots and other people trying to dictate your religion the source of the problem. BUT there is a bright side, it give people something to fight over for 100 years and keeps the judicial system and gubmint rolling in cash.
