Its a mental disorder so therapy is necessary, and proper parenting need to be added into it.
Proper parenting is to do what is best for the child and nurture the kid with love and opportunity. It is 2014 and things have changed. It is not labeled in any DSM as a mental disorder.
Title IX says you must offer a matching number of female athlete spots as male, and every school already knows fewer women do athletics than men, so look for a rise in the number of "gender confused" men who can only play athletics on women's teams, and oh, shocking, they are so good they get scholarships.
This is absurd speculation. This is not "every male". It is wrong on so many levels to say letting a boy play on a girl's team hurts others. This is not an Olympic team. This is a school program. And the proper way to authenticate the female sports almanac is to use a stricter qualification standard of "transgender" at the professional level than that which is used at the school level.

Note where I said inevitable conclusion. Dimes to donuts says people take this case and learn to exploit the system of hyper-sensitivity to all this sexuality nonsense. It's inevitable.
College golf, right off the bat. Easy exploit. +4 handicap guy suddenly becomes gender confused, now plays from ladies' tees, handicap goes to 0, gets scholarship to make a football/basketball school happy to fill a Title IX slot and also has ringer on girls golf team who plays par 4s as driver-wedge or driver-putter. Put a foursome of gender confused manginas on the team, you just won the NCAA championship.
When college is over, go back to being less confused about gender. You watch....it will happen.
EDIT - and the LPGA long ago built prevention of these hijinks into their rules and their rule is "born female."
I beg to disagree. If a guy decides to go transgender and play on a girls' team, the guy is making it clear in the community that he is different from other males, and all that goes along with it. To think someone would go that far just to have an advantage on a girls' team is ludicrous. Only guys who would do this are the ones whose hearts are set on being gender changed and that's why this law is not strange at all.
Any peer advantage this opportunity brings this kid is just one badly needed triumph in an array of more difficult circumstances that other guys don't face every day.
I feel like banging my head against a wall! I don't care if the guy wants to make it clear to the community that he's different! He's a boy, no matter what his brain is telling him, and that makes it UNFAIR to the girls playing those sports! Boys are generally faster, stronger, and taller than girls. Period! What if a girl is hoping to get a scholarship for track, but she's always coming in second to another "girl" who is not really a girl? Will that hurt her scholarship chances? Ditto for swimming, or any other racing sport.
The Olympic Committee obviously feels this is an unfair advantage too. Otherwise, why would they do gender testing?

I have an idea to solve this hypothetical problem. End athletic scholarships. Decouple athletics from school (especially colleges). Stop making money off amateur (i.e., unpaid) athletes.

Problem solved!
Eric, I'm guessing you've never competed to get on a high school sports team. It's highly competitive, with a limited number of spots available. If the "transgender" kid wants to participate, why not become a school mascot or show the boys that a transgender is just as good as them and compete for a spot on a boys' team? Taking up space on a girls' team is completely unfair. Why is this so hard to understand?

Sure, that's just great. End it for everyone because 1% or even less than 1% of the population can't participate on the team of his gender identity.

Because his preference is to be a girl, not a guy.

You really only see what you want to see, don't you? I've given perfectly reasonable explanations for why this law is unfair to girls, but I guess we will have to just wait for the feminists in California to catch on before this law gets changed.
Oh, and girls can play on boys' teams if they make it through try-outs. We have girls on a high school football team around here, which is perfectly fine since girls don't have a biological advantage over boys.

There is a difference between gender and preference. I want to be a lion , where do I sign up ?lol .
So if I throw on a human custome on a monkey , the monkey is now a human? By your logic.
