But heck...at least Amy and Amy can have a happy "marriage" and equal rights!!!!!
Actually very few children would question their gender. Gender identity is entrenched before birth.

But children with GID don't 'question' their gender- they believe they are of the opposite gender.

How does one "make up" the results of an fMRI brain scan?

How about this child who grew up in a so-called 'normal' home with heterosexual parents?

We're not going to make it any better by giving the kid 2 mommies and telling him men are bad.

I'd like to know who's paying for this. Our tax dollars hard at work?

Sounds like the kid has a disorientation.

In your opinion. To other rational thinkers, some mental help may be in order. As I see it, to do this and block the bodies natural growth pattern is simply a form of abuse.

It really is anti-parenting.

I don't believe that. I'm just using your idea on you. Unless you're special and exceptional unlike others you choose to speak about.

Interesting. I never experienced sexuality as a "choice". So that makes me curious. At what age did you? What were your options before you made the choice? Did you stick with the original choice, or make changes along the way?

Gender Identity Disorder is not "sexual choice".

Neither is sexual orientation.

Do you experience physical and mental pain if you read something that shows your views are incorrect? You seem to avoid the facts as if you think they will actually hurt you.

The common theme in all of these types of debates always degenerates to claims of bigotry and homophobia by the same usual suspects. And the position ALWAYS taken demonstrates that NOTHING is too insane to be rationalized. Every position taken considers one rule of measure only ... and "homosexual politics" is that ruler.

But there is nothing at all "rational" about pharmacological tinkering with a child's physical and psychological development, nor is it remotely associated with bigotry to object to such experimentation, unless the charge is "Stupaphobia", then I would be forced to plead guilty!
So you would have let the child cut off his penis or kill himself when he went through puberty. Got it.

A: Sexuality has nothing to do with GID.

B: Parentage and environment has nothing to do with GID.
