Transgendered children?...OK, call me old fashion, but.....Jeez, I dont even know if I can answer this.....Ah f*#k it. here goes..This is the biggest bunch of bullshit I have seen for quite a while... Transgendered children, how about letting them grow into adulthood before you start getting all exited for the possibilities. You know, one of the reasons I pulled my kids out of public school was because of this type of indoctrination....You want to dress like a woman or have sex with the same sex, fine....leave ME and especially leave MY kids out of it..... c'mon trolls, bring it!!!!!

I guess I can see the logic in it, IF the child and parents were 100% certain that gender identity disorder was what they were dealing with and that the child was going to be transgendered down the road. It seems like it might actually be easier on the body (and psyche) to suspend sexuality maturity than to let it happen and then try to reverse it in a few years. I'd imagine it wouldn't be easy for the child to remain in a sexually immature body while his/her classmates developed breasts or deepening voices. But then I can't imagine having GID would be easy anyway. That's a hell of a consequence to live with too, knowing that the patient will be sterile. I really can't imagine being in the position to have to decide something like this -- the process of sexual maturity is so topsy-turvy anyway, it must be easy to wonder if they're doing the right thing.
