A Child's Change [Confused Boy Abused, Allowed to Live as Little Girl]
WSVN-TV ^ | 9/12/13

... Patricia and Eduardo have three sons.

Patricia: "Very healthy, happy, normal situation."

But they started to notice something was different with their youngest, Manuel, before he was a year old....

With nowhere else to turn, they sought out a psychologist. They were told they had a transgender child...

Rachel Sottile, YES Institute: "That's really at the source of everything, is fear. 'Does that mean my child is going to be gay? Does that mean my child's a freak?'"

Rachel Sottile is with the YES Institute, a non-profit organization aimed at educating people on gender and orientation. She says kids who are transgender may know at a very early age, like Manuel, who they are and how they want to express themselves.

Get a load of this exchange:

Patricia: "Who you are, I think you always know you're born knowing who you are, a girl or a boy."

The experts agree. Even at the young age of 4, Manuela knows better than anyone who she's supposed to be.

This is portrayed by the media as “science”: The “experts” agree that four year old children know what is best for themselves!

Remember that...

“experts”

"X" is an unknown and
"spert" is a drip under pressure

Permitting that child to remain “confused” is child abuse.

Anyone who claims a child is ‘transgendered’ and professes to be a psychologist, should be barred from the profession and sent to the loony bin.

As victims go, this kid is a 2fer: transgender and Hispanic. It’s easy enough to ridicule such transparent propaganda, but it’s sadly evident how effective it is. The so-called “low information” crowd is very well MIS-informed by sob stories like this, and just as an American majority have now bought the insane concept of same-sex marriage, they will soon be OK with the notion of calling little boys “she” and dressing them in frilly pink outfits.

And this, as I've said in other cases, is Munchausen by Proxy syndrome, when untreated and allowed to come to a full close.

I do feel sorry for the kid, that s/he doesn't have better parents.

Ah. Yes. The tail MUST wag the dog. Anything less is unfair to the tail and what do dogs know?

What influences minds is a neutral science. How that science is used is most definitely non neutral.

I only knew my sex by what I was told and what was explained to me, which fit the reality of my body.

Even now, I can’t claim to “know” what it would feel like to be of the opposite sex, other than I’d look down at a different body and, most likely, be heterosexual in the other direction.

Those who claim to be the opposite “internally” of their real sex seem to me more chained to external stereotypes than anything.

‘Does that mean my child is going to be gay? Does that mean my child’s a freak?’”

Why YES, it does....

I think it means that the child is going to have to be shown the truth about this aspect of their reality....all of us have struggles, this little one needs to have parents who are committed to teaching HIM about his body.

A one year old does NOT know the difference.

I was born a sea horse! I demand to be treated as one! If society can’t accept that then I’m going to hold my breath until I turn blue.

I knew at an early age I knew I wanted wings and wanted to fly. Really - it’s an early memory. Should my parents have treated me like a bird?

Society needs to refer to you as a bird.....unless they are birdophobic.
