Camp unites transgender kids on outskirts: Few places transgender youth feel accepted.

Bingo.

Some doctor did a hysterectomy on a physically healthy, but mentally ill, girl of 15 (or younger). Shouldn’t this doctor lose his/her license?

Seems mommy & daddy are projecting their own homosexuality upon their kids.

Sounds just like the forced sterilizations back in the bad old days when the eugenics crowd thought they could solve all human problems by dropping others from the gene pool.

Never once did the eugenicists see themselves as A PROBLEM TO BE PRUNED!

[IronJack]

Sounds like an open-air lunatic asylum. But hey, as long as they feel good about themselves ...

Is that some Arabic word that translates into the name of a place to put all of the young sodomy targets? I’ll bet the counselors are all referred by NAMBLA.

So here’s something else that we’re supposed to be liberal about. We’re supposed to be liberal about “trans-whatever” youth.

What I never understand about this “gay/lesbian/bi-sexual/trans-gender” stuff, is why it’s being pushed towards or accomodated to children.

If somebody feels they are trapped in the wrong body and have wrong body parts and all that, this subject ought to be dealt with after they are adults, in my opinion. This should not have any place in dealing with children growing up.

But, as liberalism pervades this culture, we’re supposed to be liberal and accomodate “trans-gender” youth.

I’m sadly amazed at the depths to which we are sinking.

How sad that these kids are encouraged along this line by throughly misguided parents.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Yes, the parents are a big part of the problem, in my opinion.

If the parents didn’t accomodate their kids thinking that they are trapped in the wrong body and all that, then this sort of camp couldn’t exist. If the parents didn’t take their kids to liberal psychiatrists who encourage their kids in being trans-whatever, again, the issue isn’t there.

Not saying that I understand all the trans or gay stuff, because I don’t. What I am saying is that, this whole area of discussion/behavior has no place among children.

If these kids grow up and feel these strong pulls and all that, they can go to The Castro as adults and explore alternative lifestyles to their heart’s content, as adults making an adult decision about how to live their lives.

Parents aren’t doing their jobs properly if they enable their kids and indulge their kids bizarre thoughts in these areas.

Keep in mind that it's now illegal (in California, anyway) to offer any sort of counseling or therapy to a person under age 18 who WANTS to be more sexually healthy, i.e. to reduce unwanted same-sex attractions. For licensed psychologists and professional therapists to even suggest that such a change might be possible, is banned as a violation of professional ethics.

Castration --- that's OK, though.

We’re living in a crazy world. I don’t believe there’s more evil, per capita, than ever before, but I think there are definitely more totally insane people making decisions. In a tougher time, a lot of these folks just wouldn’t have lived to adulthood.
