A COURT has allowed a 10-year-old boy to become the youngest Australian to have sex-change therapy.
The boy, known as Jamie, has lived as a girl for two years, dressing in feminine clothes, using the girls' toilet at school and "presenting as a very attractive young girl with long, blonde hair", the court heard.
Jamie's parents, medicos and psychiatrists feared early-onset puberty could lead to self-harm or suicide and supported an urgent application for the child to receive sex-change therapy.
Family Court Justice Linda Dessau ordered that Jamie be allowed to start drug therapy to stop male puberty and that the court reconvene when she turned 16 to consider approving the second stage of taking female hormones to feminise the body.

Totally insane. Someday this person will return and sue the pants off the state.
Future Olympic gold medalist.
BFD. Hillary did it at age 9.
>> Jamie’s parents, medicos and psychiatrists child abusers.....
Indeed, their experiment.
So a whole society must honor insanity?
The APA committed a vicious crime in 1973.
Does anyone remember the botched circumcision on one of a pair of twins I seem to recall. They decided to have him grow up as a girl.
He committed suicide in his late teens I think.
The parents and Doctors need to do time for this. No one at 10 years old knows anything about the ramifications of this decision or even the slightest knowledge of sexuality. This is the result of the anything goes generation. Poor kid.
Simply appalling.
Unbelievable! Ping!
"Jamie's parents, medicos and psychiatrists feared early-onset puberty could lead to self-harm or suicide"
Note the use of "fear" to make this decision. The problem is that once you indulge "fear" it usually comes home to roost.
That’s effing sick.
What a sad situation.
The headline is going for sensation and the underlying article doesn’t quite reach the “sex change” that will make people freak out given the boy’s age. The article states that the judge “ordered that Jamie be allowed to start drug therapy to stop male puberty and that the court reconvene when she turned 16 to consider approving the second stage of taking female hormones to feminise the body.” Later in the article it states “Another doctor said stage one treatment to stop male puberty was reversible.”
Sounds like they are putting turning into an adult male on hold until age 16 and then will reconvene to make sure that the kid is still on board with that idea. I was stunned by the headline as there is NO way a 10 year old should be in a position to make such a permanent life-altering decision of a true “sex change” operation. It’s not quite that bad, as nothing irreversible is going to happen for the next 6 years.
Admittedly, it’s still very messed-up and sad. It seems really, really weird to have the parents say that the kid identified as a female as a toddler. As a toddler??? These parents sound like they have a screw loose.
This is insane child abuse. The kid hasn’t stopped growing and he is far too young to make these decisions anyways.
Someone needs to start revolutions in the west that spread, forget the Muslims countries.
I wonder if this is among the medical procedures covered under ObamaCare.
Heaven Weeps.
Family Court Justice presiding?
Mutilation.
I’m convinced that boys who think they are girls have a miswiring in their brains. Perhaps a bit like having hallucinations. This should be investigated by scientists and the medical community - not having hormones shot into an innocent child! Sorry but biology is destiny.
As far back as Truman Capote in the 1930s, there have been boys who felt they were girls. Mr. Capote didn’t feel it was necessary to run off to Sweden to get “fixed.”
A screw loose to say the least.
A toddler is neither masculine nor feminine - but infantile.
If you think your male toddler is feminine - you are INSANE!
This boy is damaged goods.
