Maybe the poor kid, who experienced who knows what in his first two years, just needed to identify with one of his two parents and in this case, the only choice was female.
Children still in their developmental years should not be given hormones to alter their sexuality. They have not come into their adulthood and do not fully know or understand what their sexuality is. I can foresee many horrifying ramifications from this sort of thing. This really could be considered child abuse.
There is so much confusion about gender identity issues and sexuality now. Many children relate to the activities and interests of the opposite sex and may enjoy the company of the opposite sex when they are children. There are many little 'tom boys' that like sports and dress in boys clothes and lots of little boys that enjoy dance and playing with dolls. That doesn't mean they need a sex change. Many of these children grow into totally heterosexual adults. Some don't and that is fine, but they need to go through all of the developemental stages before anyone starts altering them with hormones and surgery.
Absolutely disgusting - perfect example of WHY some don't advocate gay couples adopting.
How can this possibly be allowed to happen?
Recently, there have been multiple stories about transgendered children - all were part of a traditional family unit. Can we agree that they are perfect examples of WHY some don't advocate heterosexual couples adopting??

Uh, no. That's not it. The vast majority of children with same-sex parents do not have gender identity issues. In fact, the vast majority of people with gender identity issues come from opposite-sex parents.
Some of you come up with very interesting ways to express and justify your anti-gay feelings - or maybe I should say desperate ways...
This is endangerment of a child and the state should step in an take the child away from the parents. No 11 year old child can make such a decision on their own and to have such a perverse and twisted agenda foisted upon a child is monsterous.
I agree. The ignorance here is astounding sometimes. Some people (mostly right-wingers) just refuse to accept any information that challenges the beliefs they formed when they were children.
Couldn't have said it any better myself. The ignorance is astounding to the point that it's laughable. People who have no idea what they're talking about running their mouths off, which consequentially just makes them look dumb and uneducated.....
It's not just his opinion. It's the opinion of every major medical and psychological organization in the modern world.
What does that mean though? Tell me what tests they have done or what studies. What about the "minor" "medical and psychological organizations?" Maybe these major ones don't feel it is wise for them to produce text that tells millions of homosexuals that they are mentally ill? I have read that they would be motivated to do such because they did not want to have a negative reaction such as social oppression.
I also don't believe that all homosexuals could be considered to have a mental illness, but I do think that homosexuality could be a precursor to any mental instability that may arise or be a underlying cause. Think about all of the hormones, biological and physiological factors that are in play.
Finally, my understanding is that not ALL "major" organizations would say that homosexuality is not a psychological disorder.
Homosexuality and Mental Health Problems - Gives a little background on the APA's previous stance. Seems to me that they were "encouraged" to change their stance.
