A study with 32 transgender children, ages 5 to 12, indicates that the gender identity of these children is deeply held and is not the result of confusion about gender identity or pretense. The study, led by psychological scientist Kristina Olson of the University of Washington, is one of the first to explore gender identity in transgender children using implicit measures that operate outside conscious awareness and are, therefore, less susceptible to modification than self-report measures.

The problems come when he gets older and realized life is about more than sex. Then he may feel a little out of place.

Arrrgghh
It’s demonic.
Didn’t the Germans have well written studies on the benefits of selective breeding? I also am sure the same can be said of certain individuals in the not too distant 1900’s in America. We still have people that are highly placed in the “best” Lunaversities of the U.S. of A teaching that we should murder the weak, and encourage the strong to have children.
I think what I mean to say is, a degree means nothing to me. One can be well thought of in their social or professorial circles and still be an complete idiot.
Well, as you can see from the link, her degrees are in Psychology and African and Afro-American Studies, so the chances that they mean nothing are pretty good.
Wow, she is a hardcore leftist. With a degree in afro-american studies, naturally.
Interesting that it says she was interested in transgenders then.
I posted that link to people arguing for Josh Alcorn (transgender kid who walked in front of a truck, & blamed his parents online), & they said he was an idiot. I think they stopped doing sex-change surgery in 1976. I said they still don’t do it, which must mean they’re correct, but they refused to agree. The author said the AMA recognizes it, so I’m wrong.
I meant they wrote the author was an idiot.
Oy. They said the doctor was an idiot.
There is a psychological disorder where people wish to cut off a limb or limbs. Modern psychology treats that as a problem. But if you want to cut.off “parts”, somehow that is not.
The world is crazy.
FReepers are discarding science and being stupid. Little children have no agenda. Nor do they know anything about gender or sexuality. They are who they are. If a four year old child feels like she is a girl, that is what she feels like, even if he has a penis and is male.
This is a defect we have to recognize and try to treat. Children are innocent. No, you idiots, the parents did not make them this way. Please, conservatives, let’s find a way to help these kids. Let’s look at our environments and study them to find out what is causing sexual identity disorders and a lot of other brain-genitals disorders. Is it plastics? Other pollution? Our brains are being injured at such a high rate. This is the truth. The little kids cannot help it.
Stop being jerks and start trying to find a solution. When you were six, you felt strongly about your gender identity. Luckily, no one tried to make you change how you felt. These kids are as innocent as you were. They may be disabled in this way, but they are beautiful children who deserve to feel ok.
I’d like to see a more Gdly attitude toward innocent kids around here. I am so dang sick of people just reacting with anti-gay slurs instead of realizing this is a serious problem. How to prevent it, cure it, deal with these poor kids. Come on, people.
I didn’t feel strongly about my gender as a kid. I was just a girl. With people telling them they can change their sexes, & some adults using PC gender-speak, kids are going to become confused. I doubt it’s a food or plastic derivative. I think it’s the result of trauma during childhood. Kids going thru trauma today are informed their mixed-up reactions are the truth about them. G-d wouldn’t tell people not to dress up as the only other sex, & then allow them to become poisoned, so they would be forced to defy G-d’s instructions. Sounds more like Satan’s directions.
