Wapo: Transgendered at five

[Bmoreteacher]

I'm bashing them?

Do I bash anorexics by saying they are mentally ill and shouldn't be enabled?

People who cut themselves are mentally ill. Would you teach them cutting techniques?

You are in denial of reality, an dyou need to accuse everyone of bigotry who doesn't share your twisted views.

If you can't accept what you are, you are mentally ill.

A gay person who is really upset about being agy and doesn't want to be gay is mentally ill. The "gay conversion" crapola is crapola.

Are you going to accuse me of being a bigot? Oh wait, I bet you agree with me, but s ince that's not a olitically correct issue, you don't care about that.

But if it covers a darling category, then I'm a bigot, right?

Stop living in denial of reality.

If you have a penis, you are male.

Don't expect the world to agree with your warped views because reality and fact is offensive to you.

Yes, you are bashing them. With your chosen ignorance on the topic, you go after transgender people without even trying to educate yourself. Choosing ignorance is about as stupid as one can get.

Mom shame on you. Didn't you know that only conservative parents actually raise their children. Liberal parents indoctrinate

banner, I heard it the other way around. lol

I'm bashing because I'm not praising? Am i bashing bulemics too?

Why is REALITY so offensive to liberals?

Remember both liberals and conservatives are welcomed on this board.

Your reality, or reality?

[betamanlet]

Your reality, or reality?

Penis = male

vagina = female.

That's reality.

Yet you choose to deny it

Where did AttackPlanR deny anything?

[AttackPlanR]

Unfortunately, beta, the world is not black and white, despite your wishes.

It's also reality that people are transgender and know it from a very early age, but you wouldn't know that because you choose to remain ignorant on a topic you devote a tremendous amount of time whining about.

Probably wishful thinking by the parents. I doubt the kid has any clue about any of this.

You should try actually researching this well established medical disorder so you know what you're talking about.

1. I thought I was Luke Skywalker when I was five. Should legal recognition havebeen made for that?

2. Why one earth would the parents seek out national attention for this?

3. Is this not really munchausen byproxy syndrome? no 2-5 year old knows even what they want for breakfast. Do you think they can make gender determinations?

ANything to get national attention in the attentionwh*re era we live in.

1) What a moronic question. If you want to change your name to Luke Skywalker, nobody except George Lucas would care.

2) Because it is a difficult and controversial diagnosis and they are helping to teach bigots like yourself about the facts.

3) "Byproxy" is not a word. "By proxy" is two words. If anyone is practicing munchausen syndrome by proxy, it's you with your constant exaggeration of everyone else's problems into mental illnesses.

4) If you took a developmental biology class, you'd learn that children have solid concepts of gender by age 5.

Penis = MALE

Vagina = FEMALE

What does a "manlet" have?

If you are a hermaphrodite, you have my truest sympathies and you legitimately be able to pick one or the other if you want something done about it.

If you took a biology 101 class, you'd learn that a hermaphrodite has both FUNCTIONING male and female genitalia and is capable of self-impregnation and reproduction. There is not and has never been a Human hermaphrodite.

What you are probably referring to is intersex. The condition of intersex is where a person is born with ambiguous genitalia which are usually sterile. Intersex people start as females, just like all of us, but fail to completely turn into a male. Transsexuality is basically the same thing except that it effects the brain and not necessarily the external genitalia.
