Kaysen Ford was 12 years old in 2015 when he and his mother, Jennifer Sumner, sat down for a StoryCorps interview in Birmingham, Ala. The youngest of seven children, Kaysen talked to his mother about being transgender.

Kaysen Ford had just finished 5th grade in Tuscaloosa, Ala., when he started using he/him pronouns. It was around that time he began to tell friends and family that he was transgender.

Im beginning to feel if someone wants to be a “transgender” man / woman let them and to heck with it. People who identify with the opposite gender have always existed. Of course he isn’t really a “girl” . The issue of parents encouraging this in young children is a different matter. Politicians (Obama) also inappropriately started cheerleading this as a new trend. IMHO a lot of the Democrat activist base is gay, etc way out of proportion to the general population. That’s what’s driving a lot of this.

They don’t mention the kid having had surgery. So what kind of boy is this without a plumbing change? And. hormones?

Both of which are unconscionable for anyone under 21. And are 21, it’s just plain mental illness.

Remember all the stories about the normal 5th grade kids who sit down with their moms at StoryCorps interviews
to talk about being normal, well adjusted kids whose mom’s didn’t encourage them to become sexual freaks?

Me neither.

If the parent had never heard the word “transgender”, where’d the kid learn it from?

It is a personality disorder, like bipolarism or more severely, schizophrenia. No stigma. No mocking. It should be treated and tolerated but not inflicted on the body of people in a manner that forces them to alter their behaviors.

so he learned about being transgender while in his 5th grade classroom at public screwall, eh?

THAT by itself illustrates a major part of the problem

I do not remember one child in my entire town of 10,000 being or wanting to be other than their birth gender. I am sure that if there was one it couldn’t have remained hidden. Basically everyone knew each other’s business.

And if I claimed I was the queen of England, it would not make me one nor would I have the right to her money or throne.

The first public Trans was in “The Crying Game” and “Stargate”
They were also the LAST films he ever did.
Jaye Davidson

Needless to say, he no longer looks like a woman.
It is sad to see the future these messed up kids have waiting for them.

The youngest of seven children has discovered a way to get plenty of attention.

For fun, it’s fun to troll the NPR ombudsman and ask her when this story is ‘balanced’. LOL

Since I was 5 I’ve identified as the Queen of Spain.Yet on each of the 150 occasions that I’ve knocked on the front door of the Royal Palace in Madrid an ambulance has shown up and taken me to a hospital!

"It shouldn't be scary to be who you are," Kaysen said. "I mean, maybe a little bit at first. But it's way happier this way. Trust me."

She should be who she is: a girl. She's a girl who likes thinking or doing whatever it is she likes that makes her want to call herself a boy, but what you enjoy does not affect your sex. She should check her chromosomes on 23andMe. She should check her genitals - even cartoon cats and penguins can do it. Or is this just another case of the politicized left denying science to further their peculiar agenda?

No, I think you stopped just short.

“sat down for a StoryCorps interview”.

That’s where it went south. Because a lot of this stuff is driven by the desire to be a celebrity. Someone everyone’s gawking at.

Transgender boy? According to the tard left, I thought transgenders did not have a sex classification like male or female given ‘boy’ denotes a male........?

As you probably know The Crying Game was,in a very real sense,two stories in one.I thought that the IRA part of the film was excellent.Forrest Whittaker,Miranda Richardson and the two Irish guys (Fergus and Peter) were outstanding.The pervert stuff was absolutely awful and when I watch the film I skip right over it.

These kids will be permanently sterilized by taking cross-sex hormones.

These kids are going to be so angry when they realize what their parents did to them.
