This isn’t child abuse, no.
Reading your child the story in Genesis about God creating us male and female...now THAT’S child abuse.

If a two year old insisted she were a dinosaur, would her parents accept it and agree to raise her as a dinosaur? Of course not, and this is the same principal, ie claiming to be something you are not and never can be.
Mt daughter started insisting she was a dog at age 2. I guess I should have put her in a cage until she was potty trained.
Let the lunatics run the asylum. The kid if 5 for crying out loud! She doesn’t have a clue about ANYTHING! Unless the “parents” have brainwashed her in their effort to cash in on their “15 minutes”.
Child molestation under the veneer (or is it tyranny) of “therapy”.
Kids pretend they are lots of things, and it means nothing (except that they have an active imagination). For the parents to then pretend that she really is a boy is extremely irresponsible. I remember going through a stage where I had an imaginary friend; another where I pretended to be a chicken; and I always was a tomboy. I don’t recall that my parents ever took my imaginations seriously.
Parents who act upon their child’s imagining that they are of the other gender should be subjected to the same laws as anyone else who abuses a child. Because it *is* emotional abuse.
It is psychobabble. It is irrational and trying to force unnatural, artificial social constructs—made up by evil people who want to molest children—emotionally as well as physically—to confuse children and destroy their health with toxins.
Children need to learn the Truth-—not some mentally ill person’s idea of “reality”. These “adults” are abusing children and should never be allowed near any children. They are forcing mental illness on children which will not only destroy their mental health and logic and reason-—but destroy their physical development making them addicts of drugs and warped idea of human beings.
NO!
Idiot parents!
A chromosome check will tell you all you need to know and dispel their stupid kooky "theories."
At 2 my brother thought he was a choo choo train.
The people raising the child in this article are fruitcakes.
I’ll assume the parents love the child and are seriously trying to help. I’ll also assume the doctors really believe in GID and are trying to “fix” the child. Nevertheless, this GID business seems foolish to me. As other FReepers posted, children go through phases where they believe all sorts of things.
As parents, I think we played along when our children imagined themselves as something else. I’m sure we also experienced times where our children were extremely stubborn. I don’t see the harm of letting a child believe they’re something else so long as it’s play time. On the other hand, letting the child stubbornly behave as they insist or administering drugs to them to stop the natural order of things strikes me as child abuse.
If this child insisted she was a bird, would the parents let her jump off roofs? If she insisted she was a cat, would they implant an artificial tail or do plastic surgery to give her pointed ears? Yeah. Seems insane.

At least she didn’t want to be a cat.
She was born naked. There is no clothing gene. Clothing is determined by local social custom and styles.
The desire to “wear the clothes of the other sex” is mental.
Transexuals aren’t happier after mutilating their organs. It’s akin to “cutting” one’s self.
Appealing to her calls for attention are resulting in the wrong conclusions.
Agreed. And this is even worse than telling children this age that they are homosexual, because the physical ramifications might not be reversible. This is in contrast to kids told they are gay and who may decide they are heterosexual upon puberty and the literally physical reality of attraction to the opposite gender.
The therapist who says she’s a he is probably looking for come-uppance to others. Sheesh, the therapist didn’t even say “your daughter is a lesbian at 5” but “let’s chemically mutilate your kid!”. That’s malpractice.
psychology is evil
Bullshit!
This 'child' has NO 'parents; just some FOOLS who evidently are raising a little bitch that will get HER way in everything!
