Is there anyone other than me that thinks this crap is not something the child one day woke up and said, wait, I’m transgendered! I would bet the farm that this kid got it from some media outlet or, G-D forbid, his parents! What is happening to our society?
It’s gonna happen one day my friends, there are those of us who are going to reject out right this nonsense being forced upon our children in tax payer funded government schools. Reject it outright and openly revolt.

Actually, what is forced on kids is still the same old rigid boy/girl either/or choice that you remember from your days in school.
Maybe you were lucky enough to fit into one of those categories without feeling confined by it. But to some kids, those boxes just dont fit. instead of bullying them back into them, what is so wrong with letting them be who they are?
if your child came to you and told you they were the wrong gender, would you really want to crush their spirit and their sense of self by telling them they are wrong and that what they think makes them a freak? or would you stand behind your child, and teach them the strength to stand up to people like you, the big mean adult world out there that hates and despises them without ever meeting them?

When it comes to our young children we should absolutely enforce our own values and try to teach them right.. if I choose to steer my child away form that lifestyle CHOICE then that’s my right, and not for liberal activist to tell them other wise…
After 18 yo and they want to wear dresses and piss sitting down in the ladies room , so be it…

Gender isn’t a social construct, it’s a biological fact. I’m not a girl because I played with dolls, I’m a girl because I born that way.
The medical profession would no longer be willing to hack off his dick and balls and fashion him a vagina, so the school shouldn’t pamper to this nonsense either. He’s in the 2nd grade, he should join a boxing or football club, not be playing dress up in his sister’s bra and knickers.

YEEEAAAHHH!!! If this kid doesn’t want to be a MAN then put him in with the biggest boys in his class, hell, maybe 2 or 4 grades ahead of him and pump him full of steroids until he can kick the most ass and put some hair on his chest!!! AND DON’T SYOP UNTIL HE ABSOLUTLEY ANIHILATES EVERYTHING!!!!! *GRRRRRAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!* a set of BALLS and a HUGE PENIS is what makes the world go ’round, right? Why would a BOY want to be a GIRL??? The day is coming where women are going to loose all their rights…wear burka’s and possibly have bombs strapped on them to kill crowds of people in the glorious name of ALLAH!!!
*sigh*
…people are people…we are all biologocal oragnisms that we don’t entirely understand…who are we? what are we? what are we supposed to be doing here?? You can look out at the stars every night and wonder if there are others out there wondering about the same things, this biology is this way and this biology is that way and we’re going to breed and hurd and brand and label every single thing and keep it that way…maybe even improve it! If that was the TRUE nature of biology we’d all be huge, intelligent, single celled life-forms…
…biology is complicated, or it can be simple, who are we to judge what entity exsists within these biological shells? There’s so much life and diversity not only on our planet and ecosystem but also out in the ENTIRE universe!
Being transgendered isn’t being ‘gay’, or seeing something on TV or being ‘touched there’, it’s a very serious biological problem, and this poor child has no idea how much curouge she’ll have to muster to brave the storm of ridicule she’ll face her entire life because of such a simple biological thing as ‘gender’…
…symtoms of a sexually corrupt society…only nasty people ‘hide’ behind their tightly focused sexual identities to the point that they’re no better than a single celled organsism snubbing a double celled organism…it’s such an instinctual reaction, it seriously makes me question WHY people would define their entire being based on their genitalia and assigned genders. They get upset and violent when an ‘abnormality’ accures to someone else…
Transgenderism is a SERIOUS biological problem and the younger it’s treated the BETTER! I think the child should change schools and keep it out of the press, and I know of several instances where this was the case and was treated as a medical problem and just taken care of.
Any child with anything related to ‘health’ should be taken seriously and the child should be treated with LOVE and acceptence!
That’s what it means to be a human being!

Yeah I like it lot. I’ll put it on the blog roll. Does it get as many hits, not being in the WP loop?

Not as many hits yet but already growing,,, digg, newsvine and stumble help a lot…

@ metalinga
I agree this has nothing to do with being ‘gay’. Being gay doesn’t make a man a sissy. There are gay boxers and footballers.
But we’re born as boys, girls or unisex (hermaphrodite) – this boy isn’t a hermaphrodite he is playing dress up his sister’s bra and panties. That should be discouraged – he wouldn’t be allowed to walk into school naked or dressed up as a fireman or soldier.
I think every boy should learn to be box or wrestle but he should absolutely be playing American football, it’s the American national sport, so he should play it whether he wants to or not.
When my little brother went up to high school, in his first Rugby lesson the master told him that my older brother had bled and broken bones on that field but he never left the field injured, never bottled out of tackle, never backed down, never stopped playing to the final whistle and never given any less than 100% commitment. He told my little brother that is all he expected from him a 100% commitment. That is what boys should learn at school.
I hate what political correctness is doing to kids today!

I grew up in a pretty rough school and took a lot of crap just because I didn’t have the “I want to kill” mentality. I enjoyed playing with the girls more than the guys, I guess because I was already getting horny in the 1st & 2nd grade………..they’re gonna kill this poor kid. (who probably had this crap programmed into him by “somebody?”…..I guess it’s possible maybe my hanging with the girls at a young age showed my sexual preference already then(?question) Does this kid want to wear a dress and still hang with the guys for “tootsie roll sucking”?) School’s tough enough w/o making a spectacle of yourself…………he should stay in the closet until he is better prepared to handle the bullsh*t!!!
TRM // February 13, 2008 at 12:24 am
Agreed Alan, I too hung out woth girls a lot in school at a young age, being the class clown I found it easier and more satsifying to make them laugh…. I did enjoy a playground scuffle though as well/// still do

I can’t believe what I’m reading here.
Being transgender is not a lifestyle “choice” – why would anyone choose to be harassed and belittled? Transgendered people often feel isolated and ashamed, and there are cases of transgendered people being murdered for their differences; is this a choice you think anyone would want to take?
Be thankful you were lucky enough to be born with the right gendered brain in the right body. A lot of people aren’t, and your idiotic “make them play football, it’s American!” attitude is something I would have expected in the fifties. If you were a young girl, but everything in your brain told you you should have been a boy, would you want your parents to press a doll into your hands and say “Suck it up, you’re a girl! You don’t like it? You’re not American!”
TRM // February 13, 2008 at 4:50 am
So would you say its some sort of mental “shortcoming” Ruzkin?
steph // February 13, 2008 at 5:07 am
@ ruzkin
The is just unscientific psychobabble. Gender Identity Disorder of Childhood (being a sissy or tomboy) isn’t an accepted psychological condition, in fact according to the Lord Chancellor office transsexualism isn’t a mental illness. When this boy is a man if he choose to live as transvestite, he will be old enough to make that lifestyle choice but until then he should be treated like the rest of the boys, playing football, not being a cheerleader.
ruzkin // February 13, 2008 at 6:19 am
@ TRM – Any transgendered person would probably hit me for it, but IMO yes, it’s a mental shortcoming. Something somewhere has developed in the wrong direction. Does that make it a disability? I don’t think so. Does it mean we should try to “fix” it? Again, I don’t think so.
@steph – You aren’t helping your argument by speaking like a redneck. “Sissy”? What, so the natural way for a boy to grow up is playing football and hunting? Are all boys who don’t like football not real men? Is your view of gender identities that narrow?
TRM // February 13, 2008 at 11:44 am
Ruzkin I won’t try to speak for Steph for she does that quite well on her own, but I think she is speaking “metaphorically?”
I don’t much care for sports but love guns go figure
steph // February 14, 2008 at 1:35 am
@ ruzkin
I used the word “sissy” because it means a boy who acts like a girl (it comes from the word sister) that is what we’re talking about here, not some imaginary psychological condition.
Why are there so many transsexuals is Brazil compared with other countries, if it is a psychological condition?
He’s a boy, he should be treated like a boy. If as an adult he want to be a transvestite or transsexual that his choice but not now, he’s just a kid.
TEA // February 14, 2008 at 4:39 am
Actually, Steph, there aren’t that many transsexuals in Brazil…they are shemale transvestites who seldom op for sex reassignment.
Transsexualism has been established through extensive research for at least the past 60 years. Transsexuals have their surgery…integrate and mainstream into society, and want nothing more than to disappear into normality. Transsexuals are not the issue. You all deal, or have dealt, with them and probably didn’t even realize it…there are tens and tens and tens of thousands of post operative transsexuals that simply want to live their lives in peace.
The issue is the “transgender” nutcases who hide behind the gay agenda, have no desire for sex reassignment, and lobby quite succesfully for special legislation and rights. They are the “out and proud” gender f***s you see at gay pride parades. They have no problem invading women’s spaces (and men’s) as they are hell bent on deconstructing the gender binary completely. They are essentially homosexual men (or women) who crossdress while referring to each other by female (or male) pronouns. They are the masters of what Steph calls “unscientific psychobabble”. You know you have run up against one when the first words out of their mouths are transphobic, homophobic, and accuse you of having some kind of emotion that is “internalized”. They are a bad joke.
If any of you can learn one thing, learn this…transgender is NOT transsexual.

I like Steph. If I wasn’t already married, I’d probably hit on her. In a very manly, non-confused-about-my-gender way. =)
