The lesbian parents of an 11-year-old boy who is undergoing the process of becoming a girl last night defended the decision, claiming it was better for a child to have a sex change when young. Thomas Lobel, who now calls himself Tammy, is undergoing controversial hormone blocking treatment in Berkeley, California to stop him going through puberty as a boy. But Pauline Moreno and Debra Lobel warn that children with gender identity disorder forced to postpone transitioning could face a higher risk of suicide.
The mothers say that one of the first things Thomas told them when he learned sign language aged three - because of a speech impediment - was, 'I am a girl'.
At age seven, after threatening genital mutilation on himself, psychiatrists...

Why is that? Don’t have TV here...was she the one that did some kind of a segment about chasitity bono?
That thin is a grotesque travesty of a human being.
I’m speechless..or typeless
What sows..and the kid looks extremely unhappy! And what is that hanging around his neck???
Disgusting...guess the one with the tie is the guy in the relationship? o geez I just made myself sick.
Guess I wasn’t so speechless after all...
Before they screwed him up!
The hormone-suppressant, implanted in Thomas Lobel upper left arm, will postpone his developing broad shoulders, deep voice and facial hair.
The lesbian mothers faced intense criticism from friends and family as a result.
“Everybody was angry with us. How could you be doing this? You might be ruining his whole life!,” said Pauline Moreno.
wow, I would not want to be those parents when they arrive in the afterlife! Unless they change...
After his parents, Pauline Moreno and Debra Lobel, adopted Thomas at age 2, they observed that he was aloof. Shy and freckle-faced, he usually sat in a corner reading a book.
Unlike his two older brothers who were boisterous, athletic and masculine, Thomas was unusually quiet. Because of his speech impediment, he had to go to special education. Despite developing better speech skills, he didn’t want to engage in conversation or socialize.
“He seemed so depressed and unhappy all the time,” Lobel said. “He didn’t enjoy playing. He sat there all the time, not interacting with anybody. He seemed really lonely.”
They have been accused of terrible parenting by friends, family and others, that “we’re pushing her to do this. I’m a lesbian. My partner is a lesbian. That suddenly falls into the fold: ‘Oh, you want her to be part of the lifestyle you guys live,’ “ Moreno said.

Medical practitioners have to be careful with children with gender identity issues, said Dr. Kenneth Zucker, head of the Gender Identity Service in the Child, Youth, and Family Program and professor at the University of Toronto. Giving children hormone blockers to kids before the age of 13 is too early, he said.
Zucker conducted a study following 109 boys who had gender identity disorder between the ages of 3 and 12. Researchers followed up at the mean age of 20 and found 12% of these boys continued to want to change genders.
“The vast majority of children lose their desire to be of the other gender later,” he said. “So what that means is that one should be very cautious in assuming say that a 6-year-old who has strong desire to be of the other gender will feel that way 10 years later.”

This moral abomination encapsulates everything that is wrong with society today: homosexuality, surgical genital mutilation, homosexual adoption, and even abortion. Any pregnant girl in California who had been on the fence about adoption will be far more likely to murder her baby after seeing this nightmare of a situation. God will not be mocked indefinitely, and His judgment will be on us all.
Worthy of both the Moral Absolutes ping and the Homosexual Agenda ping. May God have mercy on us all.
Thanks, making “placemarks” for pingout tomorrow.

Yes, Megyn Kelly did a vigorous defense of Dancing With The Stars’ decision to have Chaz Bono on. She repeated all the pc gay propaganda about how she was born that way, people who were opposed were haters. That is why I asked what Megyn Kelly would say about gender proceedures on a child. Hopefully this would shake her out of her brainwashed state.
“Sex change” proceedures are bad enough but it should be totally outlawed before anyone is at least 18 years of age. The child is no more capable of making this decision as she would be capable of given consent to sex.
What a happy family.
They finally got their life long wish to castrate a male.
And gay lesbians get to adopt in some states. Why not, they are just as normal as everyone, they were born that way, it would be discrimination to deny them EVERYTHING that heterosexuals have.
Start making a list of everything that heterosexuals do in this society because the queers will be going down that list and checking off everything that we enjoy, they will want to have as well. Heterosexuals have children and families, why can’t homos have children and familes etc., etc.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step, that first step happened back in the seventies when the gays told us that they were born that way and many fools believed them. These are truly the blind leading the blind, these are the most confused and disturbed people making the decisions of what society will be like in the future and the rest of us are just along for the ride. Fasten your seat belts, it’s going to be a bumpy ride.
That poor little boy probably gets lectures every day about how bad men are. If you have ever seen the feminists “woman studies” mind control professors deconstructing the male sex then you can get some idea of what this poor kid is going through everyday.
GAYS AND LESBIANS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO ADOPT OR RAISE CHILDREN!!
ANother placemark...
Completely safe,completely moral.Yeah.I guess it would be completely safe and normal to let a paranoid schizophrenic adopt,too.
Whoops! That’s “normal”,not “moral”.
