It gives a lot of unintentional insight into the confusion of these children and how society has made them guinea pigs.
I think I’ll pass and watch Texas Tech whup up on LSU.
Having six toes is as rare as being a tranny. Yet, there are no documentaries about growing up with six toes. And I find myself with the same amount of interest in both. That is to say, who the hell cares?
I’m thinking of how in the late middle ages into the 19th century, little boys with beautiful soprano voices were castrated to prevent their voices from changing. By the middle to late 19th century, this practice was condemned as immoral, and finally outlawed. It was felt that it was exploiting a child and that a child could not give full informed consent to do such a thing. It appears that we are regressing, and worse, this does not benefit the child at all. At least the castrated boys were guaranteed a livelihood and a place in society. What are we doing to these children? I am bewildered by this acceleration of evil, how can anyone accept these things?
Yes, castratos.
I see no cause for you to react so rudely. You weren’t forced to click this link.
As a Christian, I care about others, and I know others do too.
I also care about coming under pressure to go along with people’s self-declared identities in these cases.
And as this story shows, teenagers of one sex are already changing in the opposite sex’s locker room at school.
If a Christian concern for others doesn’t motivate you, then, self-interest should.
This is sickening, evil, and child abuse. Is this what my country wants to stand for?
We don’t give anorexics stomach stapling surgery.
We don’t give people with other types of body dysphoria like wanting to remove limbs that surgery, though there are “trans-abled” articles coming out to legitimize it.
We don’t give schizophrenics and delusionals plastic surgery to look like the person they think they are.
Yet in the name of proving there’s no difference between men and women, we let men have massive surgery and injections with tons of hormones to become women.
Or we let them say they are a girl, dress as a girl and walk in the women’s restroom and have liberals proudly announce the mentally ill mind trumps biological sex.
And a man who thinks he is a woman is arguing he has a female brain, so change the body. The more rational solution is fixing the malfunctioning brain.
Your naivete is touching, but this is all part of the LGBT war on masculinity. Blurring out sexuality is just another step.

Personally, I think it would be creepy growing up in Transylvania. I’d always be looking out my window to see if I could see bats flying around castles.
There is no naivete on my part. Did you read either the article or even my comment before attacking me?
I said this program gives a lot of UNINTENTIONAL insight into the confusion of these children, and how they’re being used as guinea pigs. Does that sound like I’m agreeing with PBS/Frontline’s pro-transgender view?
Right now, I have quite a lot of back pain from aggravating an old back injury. I can only type with one hand. I’m actually just sitting up for a minute so I can type this to you. But no, I didn’t type as much as I would have liked about this, and the different excerpts I pulled out of the show, but I felt I explained enough, and trusted that if the truth wasn’t immediately clear, at least no one would jump to conclusions because just a little inspection of what I posted would clear things up.
Growing Up Trans: The Life and Times of Barry Soetoro
It is child abuse, with society and the medical community aiding and abetting it. The doctors press parents to do it but admit they have no idea about even the physical consequences long-term.
I appreciate your posting these excerpts from the interviews, and found the comments of the youngsters in the situation interesting, like “Ariel” knowing he will actually never be able to bear children, and not even experience a lot of what the young women in the locker room are talking about.
When there was the controversy about the boy who wanted to use the girls’ locker room, I remember thinking that clearly he does not actually feel like a girl, because if he did, he would understand why they do not want a boy in their locker room! He does not have the feminine desire for personal privacy.
Basically, what transgender people seem to feel is a yearning to be what they **think** the opposite sex is...
I believe I heard of doctors doing the leg removal surgery IIRC. Here’s a similar case case:
Model spends $120,000 on 15 surgeries and has SIX RIBS removed in her quest for a 14-inch waist - because she wants to look like a cartoon character
Pixee Fox, 25, wants to resemble an animated figure like Jessica Rabbit
She’s had nose jobs, breast augmentations and a bum lift to reach her goal
Rib removal is part of bid to shrink her waist to record-breaking 14 inches
The former electrician from Sweden now lives in North Carolina
$120K on 15 surgeries, couldn’t have happened in this country.
“Basically, what transgender people seem to feel is a yearning to be what they **think** the opposite sex is...”
Agreed. And it’s almost like a “grass is greener over there” sort of desire, fixation and obsession.
She’s from Sweden but now lives in North Carolina. And the story says this:
“She underwent the extreme five-hour keyhole surgery in Indianapolis last month after Dr Barry Eppley finally agreed to perform the procedure.”
I believe that’s the rib surgery. I first heard that on Inside Edition where the doctor defended doing that surgery.
