California, where else could this type of lunacy be allowed?

Quote:
A boy who started the process of changing sex at age eight has told how he always knew he was meant to be a girl.
Thomas Lobel, who now calls himself Tammy, is undergoing controversial hormone blocking treatment in Berkeley, California to stop him going through puberty as a boy.

His two lesbian mothers, who adopted him aged two, say that they have been criticised by friends and family, but insist they have not forced their son to become a girl.

Seems too young to make that decision.

Then again, if you wanna change, blocking puberty is probably far more effective than trying to "attack the problem" after puberty.

Then again, puberty causes many profound changes including mental and emotional, who's to say what Thomas/Tammy would otherwise think at age 20?

Then again, maybe Thomas/Tammy will be a pioneer in hormone blocking therapy, a willing test subject.

To be sure, I don't give a crap what an adult wants to do. Go crazy. Don't infringe on my rights and don't ask me to pay for it, otherwise have at yerself. The question is whether this is some sort of necessary medical treatment for a minor (and one so young) or something these parents are inflicting on their child. And is it medically irreversible?

Boys thinking they're girls. It's as nutty as teenagers thinking they're vampires.

Now the kid is going to grow up a freak, not really a member of either sex.

This is exactly why we need to study and eventually medically treat people with the mental disorder of homosexuality. I'm all for gay couples adopting but not when they allow their mental condition to spread over to adopted children. Hormone blocking at 11 years old to prevent puberty? Come the F on now.

The orientation of his parents is irrelevant. This would be nuts no matter who the kid's parents were.
