I'm as familiar with GID as with RLS. Both are equally valid. Since both are quite simply made up and with absolutely zero physiological evidence of their existence, and aura reading isn't considered a valid science, my level of expertise is exactly equal to anyone else's on the whole planet.
Try not to confuse open minded with empty headed. Try not to buy into the psychobabble. From the way you write I can tell you're not an idiot but you may be gullible.
Good night boiseguy.
Apparently you aren't at all "familiar with GID" and are completely unaware of the physiological evidence.
If the kid misses puberty he will never be able to develop properly... oh never mind... I give up. Believe what you want.
They are delaying puberty until he can make his own decision, not skipping it.
From the article: "... the hormone treatment will give him time to figure out if he wants to fully transition to being female or go through puberty as a boy.
By age 14 or 15 the device will need to be removed so that Tammy can go through puberty, Ms Moreno said.
If he chooses to stop taking the drugs, he will undergo natural male puberty at a later stage and his future fertility would not be impacted."
Im not sure whats more disturbing here, the number of sicko's here that condone this or the "parents"....
That boy needs a Dad, very sad and disturbing...
Didn't read the article did you?
How would having a "Dad" change the fact that the child has Gender Identity Disorder? If you had read the article, you also know that he has 2 older brothers.
I disagree completely. Normal parents would not do this to their child.
their sexual orientation is still irrelevant (what do you mean by "normal", anyway?). I posted a case some pages ago of a male-to-female transgendered child (from the age of 12) whose parents are a married, fully functional (according to the therapists) heterosexual couple.

Normal parents are heterosexuals. The man does have a point.
This straight couple you're talking about has obviously have been influenced by feminization.
Reading comprehension problem? I didn't say it was plastic surgery. I said it should fall under the guidelines of plastic surgery. By using medication to hold off puberty, you are altering the physical and mental development of the child. That should not be done without a valid medical need.
Why plastic surgery? That doesn't really make sense.
Apparently there IS a valid medical need, according to the child's specialists.
Apparently about 50% of teens with gender dysphoria attempt suicide going through puberty.
If delaying puberty for a couple of years allows this child to have time to make his own decisions about whether to live his adult life successfully as a male or a female, the parents and specialists are doing the right thing in my opinion.
