Kids challenge gender identity earlier--and get support (Seattle Times likes transgendered children)
The Seattle Times ^ | July 30, 2011 | Lornet Turnbull

Every few weeks, Aidan Key might get a call: a little boy in school is dressing as a girl — in frilly tops or pink skirts. A girl in first-grade will be returning from a holiday break as a boy.

Public- and private-school administrators and the parents of these kids want guidance navigating such sensitive terrain; they want to help children become comfortable calling a classmate by a new name, or know how and when to refer to another student as he or she.

There was a time when these calls were almost exclusively about middle- and high-school kids. But increasingly they involve children as young as kindergartners — 5- and 6-year-olds who don't believe their bodies match who they feel they are inside.

Key turns to a simple — but familiar — narrative: "When I was your age," he tells them, "I was a girl...

Todays media...

Have disproportionate representation of small groups all over the TV.

In particular, a group which claims 10% but is probalby 2% or less seems to be represented on dangnear every show, even kids shows. I see a flamer, and I flip channels.

This is world class hurling sick. I’m angry to see this done to children way too little to know what they’re getting into. And I don’t mean gender-uncommon activities like boys playing with baby dolls or girls playing cowpoke. This is turn the world on its head sick.

I just saw a boy, about 8 or 9 and carrying a girl doll around the grocery store. He was with his dad, and I felt sorry for the dad. Well, the boy too I guess, but mainly the dad. Then figured maybe the boy was perhaps disabled, etc. (Even a girl at 8 or 9 is too old to still be carting around a doll everywhere). Regardless - still feeling bad.

But now I find out maybe that dad was the happiest guy around. (This was near Seattle).

There are a lot of people on this planet that need to be recycled.

You have a good idea. Why don’t we recycle them as SOYLENT PINK and feed the homeless.

Well, if they’d gone the whole hog, you wouldn’t be able to tell the child was a boy.

I’d infinitely rather see boys playing with girl toys (within reason, e.g. they don’t paint their faces like girls, wear girl jewelry, etc.) and vice versa for tomboy girls, but still present themselves as their natural gender, than this cross-dressing. If the boys grow up hetero and marry and have kids, they are going to be cooking on the kitchen stove, washing clothes, and taking care of babies often enough. And there’s nothing wrong with Betsy “getting her gun” when that’s necessary. I knew a guy who jumped rope with the girls, but he was not gay.

But I have to say, cross dressing is sick.

It’s a form of Munchausen’s Syndrome.

This is just disgusting...
Perverts are now apparently free to tell little children it is OK to be transgendered. Next it will be illegal for parents to have a say in the matter.
