Sorry, he is a "he". Nature decided that long before. Sometimes people just need to accept things for what they are and move along. You can call him a "she" all you want but he is definitely a he.
Nature also decided to give her a female brain.
You and I don't get to decide. It's not up to me or you. It's up to Tammy. She has said numerous times "I am a girl". I'm respecting her wishes because it's up to her, not me or you or anyone else.
Transsexuality is hardly restricted to adopted children. Sorry, but that theory fails.
And if this child "always felt he was Superman", I suppose putting a red cape on him and assisting him out the window of a high rise building would make sense too?
I have a doubt though: doesn't the fact that they're artificially delaying the onset of puberty (which results in physical and mental changes of all sorts, including increased maturity) have as a natural consequence the boy/girl not being fully able to form an opinion?
The hormone blockers only prevent sex hormones being released from the testes or ovaries and the development of physical characteristics. From what I understand they don't affect cognitive development.

Are you transgender? Have you ever been to gender therapy? Oh wait--you haven't? Then you don't know what it's like. Your analogies don't reflect the actual experience of being trans because you don't know what it's like.
Leave it to people who are actually trans to decide what they want to do with their lives. That's what these parents are doing--they are leaving it up to their child to decide when she is older.
This isn't about gay. It's about crazy cat-ladies permanently damaging a kid. This "research" wasn't propagated by gays btw. It was propagated by sleazy profiteers inventing new disorders and treatments to sell to the gullible who really want their deviant fantasies validated.
I have no issue with gays. Don't care. I take issue with child abuse and sexual mutilation. Homosexuality is a sexual preference. Whatever trips your trigger. Screwing with a child's physiological development and causing irreversible damage because he been convinced he's a chick is criminal.
I'm done with this thread. You can choose to subscribe to whatever pseudo-scientific non-falsifiable BS dogma you like.
And...you still haven't read the article or watched the video. What a surprise.
I guess an anti-gay rant is more satisfying for you than spending a few minutes finding out the facts of this story?
How about a child of heterosexual parents facing exactly the same situation?
