There is no solution to this “problem.” Because there is no such thing as “transgendered.” Chopping and/or grafting does not change sex or gender. So the problem does not exist and can not be solved.

If you graft rabbit ears on a cat, you still have a cat.

Shhhh...you’re destroying the narrative of the public schools are evil crowd! LOL

We live in a similar district on the OH/WV border. My 14 y.o. daughter has been taking an outdoor education classes offered by an (optional and completely voluntary) afterschool program that she attends 1-2 days per week. She took the written test yesterday for her hunting license and got a 92 (she said the lowest grade was an 87 and the highest a 99). She gets her license today. She wanted to know recently if she could hunt the squirrels that hang out in the trees outside my kitchen window. I said no, but her dad would be happy if she would start with the moles out in the yard ;)

Just wait until his parents demand urinals in the girls restroom.

So where is Child Protective Services in helping to protect this kid from his “whacked out” parents?

My complements to the school district.

Exactly!

Amen to that! Homeschool your children; it is the best alternative to a completely Progressive/Liberal Indoctrination.

Hate to burst your anti-public school bubble, but it seems the problem here lies with the parents and not the school. The indoctrination here appears to be coming from the home and not the school and that is why the "parents" are suing the school.

This is why I said that they have to be thoroughly examined psychologically, to insure that they are not victims of their parents weird ideas. If they are, then they need psychiatric help, and their parents need to be investigated for child abuse.

Just because some parents might do this (almost equivalent to Munchhausen syndrome) does not mean that there are not other children who have organic wiring problems in their brains.

NO six year old boy has any idea of what it means to “become a girl”. This was obviously pushed on him by insane parents and/or insane school psychologists.

What has happened is a crime. Since there is no punishment for the crime, but instead the perps are being glorified, we are in an insane country.

I knew one of the researchers in the 1960s studies, who had been a graduate student at the time, and he went into great detail about their animal experiments and clear conclusions.

At the time, among humans it was exceedingly rare, about at the same rate as hermaphrodism. However, since then it has increased significantly around the world, even if the overall numbers of children affected are still small.

It is pretty easy to associate this with a lot of natural and synthetic chemicals that are now released into our environment. Many rivers that received recycled effluent, for example, are loaded with both human hormones of several kinds, and animal and plant similar chemicals, enough to cause obvious changes to the fish within.

Likewise many foods that are new to our diets, like soy, can influence these things. While soy products have long been consumed in Asia, almost all of it had been fermented first, which destroys the dangerous components. Americans eat raw, if processed, soy products.

It is far more dramatic, because even micrograms of many of these agents can have profound effects on both fetuses and even adult animals and people.

While you are correct, that many doctors and others exploit such people for their own gain, there is an underlying truth to the problem.

For the most part, humans are resilient, which is why we are not seeing epidemics of this, thank heaven, but for those poor individuals with organic cross-genderism, it is best to first start from the perspective of sympathy, because as they are, they are miserable, and like with chronic depression, they cannot be “cheered up” through normal means.

Yeah, there’s a real simple test to apply here. If the child can pee standing up, then he uses the little boy’s room.

Transgendered 6 year olds.

OK....truthfully, I can't imagine a "transgendered 30-year-old". But, the brain is a complex thing. I might not understand it, but I'll make an allowance that I suppose it could happen.

HOWEVER, I *have* raised kids. My 6-year-old son comes to me and says "I want to wear a dress, daddy." ..... and the answer is "No." Nothing really to debate, or discuss. Just, "No.", and that's it. Kid will be just fine, because they're a kid, and eminently adaptable.

I feel sorry for the kid in this story. It's not his fault his parent is a spineless liberal waste.

Even if a child does have organic wiring problems...do you put a dress on the kid?

Do you deliberately put a giant magnifying glass on the trait that makes this kid different?

I still say make the kids wear pants (like just about all the girls) and use the right restroom. And wait until the child has at least hit puberty, to make his own decision on how ‘weird’ or ‘in the closet’ he wants to be.

I cannot think of any possible circumstance in which it would not be child abuse to dress a 6 y/o in a dress and tell him to go use the girl’s bathroom at school. The kid is way too young to make his own decisions on this. Even if a kid had mutated 75/25 genitalia, I would raise him as a boy, at least until he was old enough to understand the implications and stigma of advertising his sexuality on his sleeve through social protest.

For similar reasons, I wouldn’t put a tattoo on a 6 y/o, for example.

This goes to the psychological side of things, and encouraging cross genderism, whether or not there is a real basis for it, I will agree is bad for the child.

If the child is bound and determined to cross gender, then limit this behavior to at first just the home. Definitely not school. Once they know the rules of opposite gender behavior, if they are itching to try it out, let them do it in a place you all rarely visit, so they will be surrounded by strangers with no preconceived ideas about what they are.

Definitely psychological counseling at frequent intervals, to make sure that their development is at least not self destructive or psychotic.

There are lots of psychological twists and turns to this as well. Girls actually have a small amount of testosterone in their system, and those that have more than average can behave in a more tomboy manner. However, this is not in any way cross-genderism, as when they reach puberty, they may actually be more female sexual and enjoy sex more than average.

Likewise, a boy who appears more feminine or androgynous may have late onset puberty, or may even be deficient in testosterone enough to require injections so that they will enter puberty, their voice will change, and they will start growing male hair. Yet at the same time, they may also be sexually straight.

Liberal Political Correctness has so censored rational, intelligent and logical discussion of social issues, the Ist Amendment is all we have left legally...so far.
The constitutionally protected free exercise of religion allows us to say evil behavior promulgated by the evil Left is NOT just okie dokie cuz the Bible says so and thus we need not fear being destroyed by Satanic forces as what happens to those who dare say the same in secular land.

Hope it lasts.

My heart goes out for this kid. I wonder what the parents have done to mess them up so much this early?

I guess you didn't see The Exorcist. A girl can pee standing up.

The child, discussed here, is in the public school system as is not being Home-schooled. Good try.
