I absolutely don't respect the man responsible for the deaths (by suicide) of many intersex children/boys with botched circumscisions after he decided that gender could be decided for a human being, and was proven horribly horribly wrong Please tell me that information isn't based on the work of that man, who went uncontested in this until Dimond perfomed the ever glossed-over follow-up... is the information that we're going to cite here.
I don't know anything about him admittedly, but this was not the source or the information that pointed at.
Quote:As for Thomas (or whatever they're called now), perhaps they truly are suffering from gender dysphoria. However, I'm not unaware of the failures of our mental health system, and I'm not unaware of the many things about this particular case that overall make me wary and concerned for the child. I know that there are feminists who adopt boys to teach them how to not be rapist or indeed masculine at all, and as I say: this case is hella suspect. Letting a child have pink hair? That really doesn't make me feel that the parents much care for how their child is going to do when they hit the 'real world'... it's a frightening case. It's the best I can do to hope that the child is legitimately suffering from gender dysphoria, and to resent the parents for rushing into this. So they threatened genital mutilation: who the hell even told them pussies were a thing before they reached puberty? Irresponsible.
I don't know if this is a serious question, but it if is, I'd wager a guess it was their parents. Which usually happens with young children, definitely long before puberty in most cases.
