UK society is sick since it rejected Christianity. Islam wants to “cure” that sickness.

The parents of this boy should do thirty years.Any “physicians” responsible for this boy’s gender “change” should do fifty.

Well it certainly seems as if “she” has a female brain ,, I certainly hope that this works out.

There was a thread on this sort of thing before. And maybe I'm still missing something here, but I don't believe an interest in pink things and such are biologically driven. Dolls? Dresses? Skirts? These are culture aspects not instinct.

I can see how it may be possible for someone to be born with a "Female" brain (hormones messed up during pregnancy). However, that does not mean that all the CULTURAL driven traits would be present.... unless the child was being encouraged to be female by an adult well versed in stereotypical female interests.

So I suspect that mommy wanted a girl...

A Chopadicktomy for an 8 yr old?

...certainly doesn't change the that pesky chromosome thing.

Unbelievable.

This little boy obviously has a mental health disorder.

So sad that the parents, doctor and so many of those making comments about the article feel that the little boy should be hormonally altered and surgically mutilated in response to his disorder.

Medical-wise, couldn’t there be a possibility though, that this child was really meant to be a girl, perhaps somehow while forming in the womb some signals got crossed somehow. So while the rest of him/her was in agreement that she would be a she, the lower part didn’t get the message right and developed male genitalia? I’m not advocating a sex change at 8, just wondering about the possibility of something like that happening. (runs for cover now!)

So we’re mainstreaming child abuse now in the name of Political Correctness? How vogue.

1. Despite this story appearing in a UK paper, the Romero family is American. G-d have mercy on us all.

2. Everyone involved with story (the poor kid excepted) needs a brain transplant or a horsewhipping. Or both.

I played Little League football, raced dirtbikes, loved Star Wars action figures and would use my dolls that relative seemed intent on giving clothing to dress up our little dog.

I am a perfectly fine adult female who loves my husband. Even though I never identified with girls or girl things, that didn’t mean I wanted or thought I was a boy.

That being said, they are discovering now that some people are born with a chromosome disorder that makes them sort of hermaphrodites or something. I suppose it is POSSIBLE to be outwardly a male and have an extra chromosome or something.

Probably a hormonal imbalance in utero.

Still, I hope the kid doesn't end up like this:

Cheers!

Why is it that feminists decry the fact that little girls are forced into gender roles like wearing dresses, being made to play with dolls, etc., but when it's a little boy getting feminized, they think it's a swell thing?

Anyway, no way that little boy can grow up to live a normal life. Girls can be tomboys but ultimately, they grow into women. Boys can be sissies but ultimately, they must contend with the fact they they grow into a man's body.

Nobody says a woman can't grow up to be a construction work or a boy can't grow up to be a nurse. So it's best to be who you are and learn to live with the body nature gave you.

Nobody at the age of eight years old is mature enough to decide one's sex and the parents shouldn't be doing it either. I know when I was eight years old, I wanted to become an astronaut. However there weren't adults around who indulged me by putting me on a spacecraft and sending me into space just because that's "what I wanted to do." I was simply told that once I grew up, I could do whatever I wanted but I couldn't do it right now.

Had the parents taken a harder line with their son over this nonsense, it's very likely he would have grown out of this phase and gone on to a more normal life. Hell, I remember playing with my sister when I was that age, dolls and all that crap. At that age, you simply aren't old enough to fully understand gender and sex. The parents should have raised this kid as the boy he was born as and let him make those kind of decisions for himself when he became of age.

We had neighbors who had their 2nd son 3 months after my youngest son was born. By the time he was 2 it was clear something was not quite right. By the time it was six, it was quite clear and undeniable. He was a little girl in a little boy's body.

I would not have believed it had I not witnessed it on a daily basis. He would love to play dress-up. One day he was so angry (and/or frustrated) because his mother would not let him in her closet, he took the Christmas tree skirt from under the tree and used it as a dress.

There was a denial stage. As the realization crept in, they prayed it was just a phase and he would take an interest in the “little boy toys” that gathering dust. Of course they turned to their pediatrician who gave all of the right advice. Maybe he would take an interest in the things his older brother likes: baseball, rough & tumble games, dirt bikes, etc. But after all was said & done, the only thing male about him was the outside of his body.

I am not sure what happened because we moved away when he was 7. I often wonder what he is doing now at 18 years of age. Was it gender “confusion” or one of nature's burps?

But I did learn there are no absolutes in this life. One blanket statement does not fit all. Some people are born this way. Some behaviors can be learned and those same behaviors can be inherent.

'She'd wrap one of my scarves around her waist to make a skirt. It was her favourite game.'

We are born naked. Clothes are dictated by fashion and culture. He may have wanted to crossdress but it isn't genetic.
