He's not a girl. He's a boy who wished he was a girl... and so he had doctors cut off his weewee, put a hole there, and shoot him up with hormones. That didn't make him a girl, any more than putting a Ford badge on a Chevy makes it a Ford. All that did was make him a genital-mutilated, doped-up boy.

I'm sorry he can't get his wish to be a girl. It sounds like he would be happier if he was, and I'm all for people being happy.

But I've often wished I could fly like a bird, by flapping my arms, or even without flapping - just some kind of levitation. I will never be a bird, or a levitator (is that a word?), even if I make and sew on giant eagle wings. I will be a man with weird things on his arms. And this boy will only be a boy with mutilated genitals and abnormal hormones in his veins. I'm sorry that both desires are unachievable.

Wow. Who would have guessed all the usual tea bagger types would have an issue with a transgender person?

I'm not surprised you don't have the guts to call this poor mutilated boy a "tea bagger" to his face, and hide on the internet to do it instead.

Aren't the boys parents supposed to protect him from things that will do him harm?

Right, right, right. Excellent parenting. Understanding and supportive.
They didn't demand that this boy suppress his feelings into a hard, dark, bitter and toxic little knot that would eventually eat him up alive.
