However, I do believe that homosexuality is (80% of the time) a physiological disability and that children who for years insist they should be the opposite gender have the most extreme version of the disability.

Wow! You sure swallowed the liberal Kool-Aid by the gallon!

How can anyone be born a crossdresser?

Note, not all transvestites are homosexuals. Some just like the fetish of wearing ‘forbidden’ garments. Or personal effects belonging to a love interest.

We are born naked, there is no ‘wear the clothes of the opposite sex’ gene.

“”Look I’m a burrito,” Chloe shouts”

Utahagen needs to explain the burrito-exual mechanism as well.

"Physiological" cause doesn't necessarily mean "genetic" cause.

Xeno-estrogens in the environment are known to cause impaired or ambivalent sexual development in many vertebrates.

Most of our watersheds are contaminated with estrogens and estradiols. Plus, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics, soy-based (infant) formula is now 25 percent of the market in the United States. Soy is known to have estrogenic effects.

This does not mean that those 25% of babies + God-knows how many kids exposed to estrogen-contaminated water, are going to turn out gay, transsexual or gender-confused.

We just don't know how many will.

As a general observation, as the use of hormone-based birth control and soy-based infant formula has risen, so has general gender confusion.

We all know correlation does not equal causation. But if we never research it, we'll never know if there IS causation.

I fear the results of our incuriosity may become catastrophic.

I am always surprised when someone who should know better buys into the propaganda.

Burrito-exual rights!
Stand up for the right to become a burrito!

Pretty much the same mentality/”logic” behind it.

I think these children are the hard-end of the homosexually disabled; they are truly and biologically mixed with regard to their gender.

If so, researchers ought to find out what Mommy drank, smoked or ingested in pregnancy, including whether she had been on birth control pills or any hormones to prevent miscarriage. But researchers are no longer able to study homosexuality objectively, because it offends the fascists running everything.

What we have in this article are parents who are sick and shouldn’t be in a position of authority over anything more complicated than Tonka trucks..
..but there are lots of horrifically unqualified “parents” out there without the sense God gave a garden gnome.
*sigh*

couple told their child it was OK, and a sad boy become a joyful little girl.

So just make your toddlers "happy" and you're doing it right! Thank you Liberals. Parenting just became SO much easier. MORE candy. MORE video games. An iPhone 6 Plus for every child at birth. Whatever makes them HAPPY!!!

Well, maybe he can TRANSITION his way to becoming Mexican food by first transitioning to become Hispanic.

Can he salsa dance? Does he have a favorite Reggaeton band? Can he roll his R’s yet? These are the questions wise journalistas asked Senator Ted Cruz when asking for his hispanic credentials.

From the article: Carter was taken aback. Her youngest had been wearing her HIS big sister's dresses regularly and enjoyed donning pink boots. But this was new.

MY GENES MADE ME DO IT !

So if we ask the question, “What produces the sexual identity of intersex children?” we have to answer that upbringing greatly pre - dominates—even in modern society, and more so in a less liberal society.

That is, about 90% of intersexes on record have elected to continue in the gender in which they were raised, even in the face of strongly contradictory biological and physi cal characteristics. If the influence of upbringing is so strong that it can over-ride obvious contrary biological predispositions, then it is more powerful than biology in the development of gender identity, at least in most countries. It be comes nonsensical to argue that gender identity in chr o mosomally normal individuals (like homose xuals) is genetically or biologically enforced. In modern Western society, sexual identity appears to be about 10% genetic and 90% environmental. So it is quite plausible that homosexuality is also 10% genetic and 90% environmental

The child in the article was not born "intersex" so there isn't even that excuse. If you encourage a child to dress a certain way you are imprinting on that child.

People are sometimes born with a female brain and male genitalia/body. When was Jenner born, in the 40s? If this kid had been born in the 40s he would have been shushed and slapped and he would have lived a life like Jenner described. Trying so hard to be male that maybe he would have been a high achiever in some male aspect of life.

Now, parents are practically prepared by their baby books to accept and be tolerant of children expressing the feeling they are another gender. And so they will do idiotic things like this.

As a mom of three sons, THIS WAS WAYYY TOO EARLY. Many kids up to age 5-6 do some gender bending or prefer the toys of the other gender. MOST OF THEM don’t stay “transgender.” It is a phase. I had toddlers wish they could wear tampons like me — grow up to be manly hetero men!! Toddlers can wear makeup, play with all sorts of things. They are children just being themselves.

What should Mom have done that day in the car? She should have said, “I’m sorry you’re so sad, Jack.” And accept his EMOTION, and help him find a place for it. None of us love all that we have been dealt with but it doesn’t mean we need to hang a different moon in the sky.

To a three year old, it could be very sad when his sister goes to school. It could be really sad when he sees kids doing something his family cannot afford. If this little one really does have this disorder that the libs call “transgender,” it is too young to DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

Even if he cries daily about it, at first you have to just hug and support him, and maybe make up funny stories to make him feel better, like A Boy Wishes He Were A Girl and what adventures he might have. First, he should feel his parents love him no matter what, and that he has something uncomfortable going on, and they will be there for him through it all. He doesn’t need to transition at 3!!! This makes me upset.

If the boy had cancer, he would be sad he had cancer and couldn’t live the way he wanted. His parents couldn’t click their fingers and make the cancer go away, so they have to own their experience together. This is the same thing.

And by the liberals’ logic, the soon to be seen rise in the # of adopted children of homosexual couples identifying as “being different” will be because the parents were ATTUNED (by naturally occurring sense of gaydar) to their 3-year old’s true sexual identity...

That's not a crock, and I didn't "buy" it ---if you mean buying pro-gay propaganda.

Nothing in the physiological gender-confusion scenario justifies sodomy. Sodomy is, in itself, an act of grave depravity, inherently abusive. Under no circumstances can it be justified.

Sex-change surgery is inherently abusive, too. It's genital mutilation, just as morally wrong as the crap they do in Somalia.

Gender confusion is real. Factors contributing to it could possibly be a combination of exposure to gender-theory ideology, early-childhood experiences of sex abuse, being raised in a sick, pan-sexualized culture, and intra-uterine or infant hormonal imbalances.

It's not easy to sort out, but hormones definitely have an impact on sex expression. Every biologist knows that.

And not just humans: animals too. You'd be amazed at what a touch of testosterone does to a developing female, or estrogen to a developing male.

Don't blame the victim. Don't "celebrate" the victim, either. Recognize a real problem.
