About a Boy Who Isn't

This article infuriates me on so many levels I don't know where to begin.

The poor, screwed up he-she is perpetuating a fraud on the other students, particularly on the girl who has been unwittingly induced to enter into a lesbian relationship. The school's only concern is for the trauma that the he-she will suffer if her fraud is discovered. They have no concern for the trauma that the poor girlfriend will suffer when she finds out.

''Yeah, I'm happy, but I always think, Why did God make me like this?'' he says, looking off into the distance. ''Why couldn't he have just made me one way, either a guy or girl? Because I don't feel like a girl at all, but I have a girl's body. I don't understand why God would do that.''

Why would God do it? Because He, in His divine wisdom, has quite a sense of humor.

Hey, I know what M is going through - All of my life, I've always felt that I was a lesbian trapped in a man's body - a secret I've always kept hidden...

what a mess

You're the only one who has shown any concern for the poor girl that is being deceived, and what it will do to her to discover she has been duped into a lesbian relationship.

In fact, a friend of one of my daughters had a similar experience. I don't think they ever kissed, but this "boy" was really putting the moves on her. Called, holding hands, talking endlessly on the phone. The girl -- a really nice girl who hadn't had a lot of attention from boys -- was just devastated when she found out the "boy" was a she, from another town. A sick, selfish, "she," who didn't care who she hurt when she dragged an innocent girl into her little perverted hell.

One of the best arguments for delaying hormone treatment is that gender identity, like sexual preference, can be changing and fluid -- particularly during childhood and adolescence.

Yes, which is why locking them into an indentity with a gay, lesbian, and bi-sexual support group is so insidious. It can catch kids in a time of change and lock them into an identity that they can never escape. And this is a good reason why whe shouldn't be sexualizing children. Let them be children. There is enough time for sex later.

And clearly these teachers don't care about how people that this person has relationships might react. I suspect that they think that the suprised kids will learn an "important lesson" about "tollerence" and "gender identity" and it will help teach children their real agenda which is that they think sex isn't about long term relationships, marriage, and children but just about the desire and sex.

For the school system to knowingly partake
in this deception is wrong, and could come back
to haunt them big time.  If the kid wants to dress
as the other sex, the most a lenient adult should
do is to say, "Okay.  But I won't lie for you.
If anyone asks, I will tell them the truth and
you will deal with the consequences yourself.
Now go play."

The New York Times' efforts at indoctrination rival the worst of Pravda during the time of Joseph Stalin.

Arthur Ochs Sulzberger is a vile criminal and traitor, and belongs at Camp X-Ray with other enemies of the American people.

Actually, God made this poor sad person who He expected her to be. It is the devil who deludes her into thinking that she is anything but a girl. And it is the devil's accomplises who enable her not to see that she is exactly who she was made to be. "It is better for a millstone to be cast about their necks and for them to be cast into the sea than for those who enable My little ones to sin," the Bible recounts. Those who should know better and yet tell this girl that she is doing nothing wrong are going to be very surprised in the afterlife. God makes us all exactly who we should be; it is our own God-given ability to make evil choices that makes us stray. It is our fault when we sin; stop blaming God for our evil.

Do what I do. Read the first couple of paragraphs, say to yourself I know where this is going, and then say life is too short for this kind of rubbish.

Me smells a rat. I wouldn't be shocked if "M" was a figment of this author's imagination. Wouldn't be the first time.

I bailed out of this article when it tried to tie "dresses" with sexuality.

There is absolutely no clothing gene (look at the variety of fashion through history and around the world). We are born into this world naked and then wear the clothes that our society dictates as the "norm".

Transvestites worship a fetish (a sexual kink that turns them on).

To say that a desire to wear or not wear dresses should dictate surgery for sexual anatomy or sexual relations with members of the same sex is mind boggling. Those with this desire may need to seek some sort of professional counselling as it may control their whole lives.

I thought that homosexuals "swear" that they are never attracted to heterosexuals. This is why the is nothing to be concerned about with gays in the military, etc.

[Stone Mountain]

They have no concern for the trauma that the poor girlfriend will suffer when she finds out.

I doubt it would be that traumatic. For one thing, it sounds like she already knows, and for another, she already told him that she would love him even if it turned out he was a girl...
