What does that mean, exactly?
It's pathetic to care. I have way too much stuff on my plate to worry about a child wanting to join the girl scouts.

You seem obsessed with sexuality if you consider gender identity to be anything sexual. The ignorance of your posts is astounding. Your refusal to even consider or understand counterarguments only cements this assessment.

Any boy who acts like a girl is NOT less of a boy. What you're really doing is insulting the female gender. Is a girl who acts like a boy less of a girl? The time of black and white thinking is coming to an end and it's scaring the hell out of a lot of people, conservatives especially.

Welcome to the new child abuse of the 21st Century. These children would never get such ideas in their head if their parents did not put them there. The only silver lining here is that such sociopaths illuminate the malevolent insanity of society's meandering down the path of deviancy, and will force the average person to take a stand.
Not you again. Physical and mental/emotional gender are mutually exclusive. What you seem to think of as a deliberate attempt at deviancy is just a normal, but rare, expression of the human condition that is forcing us to reevaluate ourselves. It scares you, doesn't it? So you think it must be wrong and it must be opposed. And, as with most conservatives, there must be some evil motive behind such a trend because there's no way that paradigm shifts are natural! Change is what conservatives fear the most and it is unavoidable.

I could tell you my own story to disprove your views, but I think I'll restrain myself.

I think this boy should join the Boy Scouts and partake in those activities in whatever clothing he wants. If he doesn't like it, then he can stop attending. I believe he is too young to have such an integral identity shift encouraged, though I kept my struggle inside at that age. The mother needed to try harder in gently encouraging him towards a male identity, but we don't know how much has occurred before this point in time. Despite my own experience, this boy's desire to be a girl should be a private matter since its exposure to other children has unknown and immeasurable repercussions. Once he is old enough to decide for himself and understands the impact such a decision will have on those around him, then the "lid comes off" and he should enjoy the full support of his family and friends...

....AND US. The world's too awful by itself to not let someone be themselves when that state of being threatens nothing but our limiting beliefs.

My parents didn't know I wanted to be another gender so they didn't indoctrinate me as you suggest this mother did. If I was mentally ill, again another suggestion of yours, it was because the person who molested me was the same gender and, as is often the case, the abused overlays the social standard onto themselves. They think they are the opposite sex since sexual activity and mating is primarily with opposites. I matured enough to realize that gender is not absolute and comes in a rainbow of colors, not just black and white. We get to pick and choose whatever color we want.

Any boy can be a girl if just because he says so?

If the Girl Scouts of America and/or the troop that he wants to join, doesn't care one iota, why is there any argument here?

Can't argue with that. Perhaps they want big gubiment to step in and do something. Save us big gubiment, save us.

I think the outrage is with parents no longer willing to give direction, and instead encourage any idea the child comes up with.

This one is a little over the top.

What is "a boy living as a girl?"

What do you mean by "can"? My general answer would be yes but you ask without any context. If it's what he wants, why waste energy over the possibility of ruining his life just to impose some fictitious rigid standard? Can a girl be a boy if she wants? Also, yes. What is so sacred about maintaining a division when gradations obviously exist?

I wanted to join the Boy Scouts when I was growing up, but girls weren't allowed. I joined the Girl Scouts but found them too frivolous and boring, so I ended up joining 4H. I was allowed to shoot guns AND sew! What a concept!

Most of my hobbies are 'manly', I'm an aircraft mechanic, I work on cars and weld for hobbies and yet... I'm still a heterosexual female. Weird how that works. I guess women can act like men and men can act like women sometimes and still turn out okay.
