unless you seen that 20/20 report you do not know what I mean. But if you did see it would you have let your child become trangender at such a young age... there wasa 6 year old little boy whose parents let him grow his hair long and wear girls clothes are the parents caring and understanding or crazy?

i wouldn't do it because i'd be afraid of what the other kids in his school groups or church groups would say.
i understand the reasons why they might let them, but it's hard enough growing up as a child if you try to act "normal".

there are countless proponents of the "reprogramming" way of questioning. (alongside with, Dr Zucker who's a large call contained in the trans international, works out of Toronto) Which, i imagine, is a load of crap. all of us recognize how nicely that reprogramming works for gay human beings. (which isn't all right in any respect) i'm no longer attempting to conflate orientation and gender, on condition that they don't seem an similar, although the theory in the back of the "reprogramming" is largely an similar. Forcing the newborn (or youthful man or woman) to adhere to strict gender stereotypes etc etc. i do not imagine it truly works. it would want to (would) paintings for a lengthy time period. in which, the newborn will repress the emotions. yet, in the journey that they are quite transgendered, the emotions WILL come lower back. And, regularly, the newborn will be worse off from having to suppress the emotions and "cover" for therefore long. If the emotions do not come lower back, possibilities are extreme the newborn develop into not in any respect quite trans to commence with. countless human beings have flow gendered emotions at one time or yet another, for most many motives, that do not advise they're trans. no matter if the newborn might want to transition is a own decision to be made with the help of the newborn and his or her mom and father. If it type of feels excellent, and healthful, then yeah bypass for it. i do not imagine attempting to reprogram every person is healthful, no count number what's attempting to get replaced. no matter if it really is sexuality, trans-ness, no longer needing little ones, no longer liking meat, or something. human beings should be allowed to easily be, as long as what they do would not harm persons. And, having flow gender emotions and performing upon them surely does no longer harm every person else.

I feel that a six year old is not capable of making that sort of decision. That's the kind of thing an adult should decide on his behalf, until his brain has matured enough to provide the necessary software and judgemental abilities to really make that kind of choice.
I think the parents are obviously trying to be understanding, but that's a bit much.

The old way of dealing with transgender is for the doctor to make up his mind of which sex the newborn should be.
I personally think that by preteenage the child has a strong feeling of who they are. Only then can the personally be sure of what they are--- may or female. A choice give no choice can grow up very dificertly

As long as the child is healthy, happy and emotionally able to handle the harassment and other problems that will occur in their desire to be who they are I say let them. I think our children have a hard enough time being children without restricting what they feel inside. I promise you they will grow up happier and emotionally sound.

It bothered me. I understand wanting your child to be happy but that was a bit much for me.

I would do whatever made my child happy to be who they are inside. It is a hard thing for a child but why make it harder for them by denying who they are

you need to let the cild develop teir ownpersonality and if this his then it needs to be address at a young age because dealing with it when they are older would be alt tougher.
