"A lot of times she'd come out and say, 'I'm a girl.' No, at first it was, 'I want to be a girl,' then it's like 'No. I am a girl.' And she'd ask if me if I [thought] she was crazy and I'd say, 'No, honey, you know, it's OK.' And in the front, you know, I'm driving going ... 'Oh my gosh, what is this?' " Danielle says.

After many years, the family found a psychologist who had experience with gender issues. At the end of a two-month evaluation, the therapist gave them a diagnosis: gender identity disorder.
Gender identity disorder is the label most psychiatrists and psychologists give to children who believe themselves to be born into the wrong biological body. It involves a range of behaviors, but on one end of the spectrum there are children like Armand: kids who are more than effeminate boys or masculine girls who may turn out to be gay in adulthood. These are children who genuinely believe they are girls — even though they have a male body — or boys, even though they have a female body.
The doctor explained that their son would, in all likelihood, grow up to be transgender — someone who lives as a member of the opposite sex.
Robert and Danielle say that at this point the diagnosis was more of a relief than a shock. They decided almost immediately to stop trying to force their son to live as a boy. And then looked, with some anxiety, to the future. Armand was close to 11 years old.
"We knew that puberty was around the corner and we needed to start looking into ... what do we do," Robert says. "How do we help this child, you know, develop in a way that is consistent with who she is."
Why those evil straight people. Shame on them.
Who do they think they are? They're sick, disgusting and perverted.
They should be thrown in jail and the child removed.
Passing their sickness on to others.
Did I miss anything?
Well, I did miss this where lesbians were blamed:

This will be fun. I'll get the popcorn and relax.

There are heaps of stories of straight parents with transgender children.
However this one is very very similiar to the story about the lesbian parents and their adopted son..
I've yet to find any other stories of gay or lesbian parents with a transgender child.
Somehow, because it's straight parents and not lesbian parents, I bet it won't get many of the rabid anti-gay posters jumping in posting anti-gay comments without even reading the article.
Sick parents who have failed their child, sad child abuse
Should all heterosexual parents be banned from raising children then?
You added something "extra" in the other thread:

Sounds like the kid is controlling parents. Happens a lot these days with these new liberal induced parenting techniques. My father, who rarely spanked me, would have stomped this foolishness right out of the kid in no time.
