THEY SAID THIS WOULDN'T HAPPEN. WHUT NOW?

A life ruined. It should be a crime.

 

There have been some other stories in the news lately of kids this age beginning the process at least via name-change and dressing (from families with heterosexual parents, oh the horror!!!1!!11!!). Some of them begin taking hormone blockers before puberty to put it on hold until they can start their actual hormone-treatment therapy.

 

As with all sex-change treatments they must go through countless hours of therapy and see multiple doctors. This is before, during, and after an is a multi-year process. This is also, to my knowledge, hormone blocking and not hormone-treatment therapy which I believe is generally started, at its earliest, around 12-13.

 

On one of those Springer (or such) shows, the topic was "people who had sex changes, then became gay."

I'm, like, they could have saved two moves and probably been better off.

 

Gender identity and sexual orientation are two entirely different matters, so no, they probably could not have.

 

Most 8-year-olds dislike the opposite sex, so they should have the legal right to kill the opposite sex, and their parents, too, if they don't get enough I-Pods. Also, to kill their grandparents and teachers. This would be self-empowering so the kid will grow up strong. It's the wave of the future.

I'm getting into this. Also, 8-year-olds should have the legal right to change their appearance through plastic surgery, to buy a BB gun even if their parents disapprove, and to still wet their pants in class like they did in kindergarten, and to skip baths. Also, 8-year-olds should have the legal right to have as many Christmases per year as they want, and the same for Halloween candy and Easter candy.

8-year-olds are smarter than you think, and it's a lot harder nowadays to grow up. These kids are a lot more mature than we were, and I admire the asinine legal system for granting them the right to have their own penises amputated. We have a bright horizon ahead of us in our social progress.

 

This is a truckload of dynamite waiting to explode. I don't know anything about the family, the boy, or the circumstances surrounding this, so it's hard to get all up in arms. It would be easy to assume that the parents are two man-hating lesbians that have brainwashed this child to believe that men are evil and that he couldn't possibly want to be a man, so the only course of action would be to remove his manhood.

Who knows, that might be the case, but I do know that there are plenty of crazy hetero parents in this country who have irrevocably destroyed their children, both mentally and physically, and nobody bats an eye.

 

Again, it is hormone blockers, not hormone treatment. There is a difference. Also even though it isn't hormone treatment, hormone treatment doesn't involve the amputation of the penis. She is also 11. Quoted in the article to help explain this to you:

Many countries have a minimum age of 18 for gender reassignment surgery.

There is hormone blockers (which this young girl is now on to my understanding, at age 11, to prevent her from going through puberty - all it does is block, once taken off the medicine puberty proceeds as normal)

There is hormone treatment, which MTF taking estrogen and other such hormones and FTM taking testosterone and other drugs. Here is writeup of the side-effects, and reversible and irreversible effects:

Then there is gender reassignment, which again in many countries has a minimum age of 18. Though there has been two to my knowledge to have it at sixteen.

This is a multi year (near decade, really) process which requires treatment and evaluation by professionals in multiple medical fields.

Of course some of you can act scared and throw shit against the walls instead of learning about the process because god forbid it is too taboo to understand, or even try.

 

Many of you may know I am a republican, but on certain social issues I lean to the left. Homosexuality is one of them. I think people are born how they are born, and really don't choose to be any certain thing. I think this child might have come to a realization faster being raised by two parents that are obviously tolerant, and in tune with what the child might be feeling. I don't think, however, that he has decided to get a sex change operation simply because he is being raised by two women.
