Kindergartner Provokes Debate Over Transgender Policy at Minnesota School
The New American ^ | 14 January 2016 | Raven Clabough

Posted on 01/19/2016 12:56:58 PM PST by detective

Parents of a five-year old "transgender" child are asking the school's kindergarten class to take up the task of educating students on gender dysphoria, the condition of identifying as a sex that is opposite of one's biological makeup. The request has prompted opposition from a number of parents, while several others have voiced their support.

According to the Daily Caller, it began when the parents of a gender-confused boy, who remains unidentified, sent their child to Nova Classical Academy, a charter school in St. Paul, Minnesota, wearing a girl's jumper and pink shoes. The parents, Hannah and Dave Edwards, indicated that they were concerned that their son may be bullied, and asked that the school pre-empt any potential bullying at an instructional level. "He has said before, 'I feel like a girl in my heart, I feel like I have both boy and girl,'" dad Dave Edwards told the Fox station. "We're not yet sure of the person that our son is. He's in kindergarten."

Have the kid look down towards his lap.
See twig and berries? There... confusion is over.

Someone above mentioned the father should stop this nonsense and start to teach this boy to be a man. I agree... the father should start by going find a man.

“Parents of a five-year old “transgender” child “

No such thing.
To anyone with a brain, this is child abuse.

When I was that age, I had species dysphoria. I thought I was a dinosaur.

Just no-a 5 year old is taught by parents how to behave like the gender they are born with-this kid is a boy-to treat him in any other way is child abuse, and the idiot parents are even demanding that others be a party to it-they are either deliberately cruel or they have munchausen by proxy syndrome and crave the attention-why are they not being ordered by a judge to be psychologically evaluated?

What an emasculated nebbish the father is.

In my house, should my five year old son have wanted to go to school in a dress, the answer would have been “No.” And that would end the discussion.

Not anything to talk about, really. I’m not interested in what his mother thinks, or gender dysphoria or the boy finding himself. “Because I’m the father” is a sufficient explanation.

End stage Munchausens by proxy, is my diagnosis.

If the mother or (less likely) the father, were poisoning the poor kid, something could be done about it. This method, unfortunately, is safer for the parent enabling it.

Exactly. That’s what all these child-gender-dysphoria cases are about. Look at me! Look at me! The children have sicko parents.

When I was 5 I was already encouraging girls to show me their naughty bits. That’s what boys do.

There are some who would say that these parents are the bullies, since bullies expect to get their own way, no matter who else has to pay the burden/the price.

Many children are a little confused about their identity, and then they grow out of it. Currently many liberal parents are pushing their children towards being transgender.

We're not yet sure of the person that our son is.

Hint to Mr. and Mrs. Edwards: When you refer to your son as your son, that means you know who he is. Your son is a boy (see Webster's dictionary). Check your son's body. Do a genetic test on your son. He's a boy. That's why his birth certificate says "boy" or perhaps "male".

How in heck do they explain gender dysphoria? Do they say G-d made a mistake?

These are the type of “parents” that would just as soon abort such a child late-term.
