Transgendered children

[SteelCurtain]

I don't think little kids know much about what they are at a young age. I wouldn't want that kind of thing done to a small child. I'm no psychiatrist or anything, or how you'd even go abut figuring out if a kid really sees themself as another gender, or if they're just going through a faze. I'd rather they be given more time to figure out who they are before you change their body to something they may not be happy with in the future.

What boy goes through a phase of thinking and feeling that they're a girl from the time they're 3 years old and never ceasing? I remember when I was very young. I had no doubt as to what gender I was. In fact, as early as kindergarten, I remember the pressure for a boy to be a boy. You didn't cry, you didn't do girl things, you didn't wear girl things, you got cooties if you touched a girl. I think I'm pretty safe in assuming that's a pretty universal experience for boys until hormones start happening. What kid would choose to go against that grain? I can imagine a kid going through a phase wanting to play with baby dolls or something like that. I don't think living memory for a person qualifies as a phase.

There is plenty of literature on GID and there is a common theme amongst the authors. Kids generally start demonstrating issues as toddlers or young adolescents. Just because this kid's parents are lesbians doesn't mean anything. Never mind that they have three older boys that have turned out fine. They even have grandchildren by some of their older kids.
