    She's probably been watching Jazz on TLC. As a boy turning into a girl, s/he was originally attracted to boys, but has recently found girls attractive. Which raises the question... is a boy transitioning to a girl, but dates girls, a lesbian with extra parts or a heterosexual boy with breasts?

    Its so confusing.

    I am a rational person, so I have plenty of rational moments.

    I've been asking that question for a couple years and no LBGTQXYZ per can answer that. It's messed up.

    17 years old. An age when kids are emancipated from the parents and/or on their own all the time. If the parents want to jeopardize their relationship with their child at this stage, I tend to think they love their own personal views about what natural and unnatural more than their own child.

    You can't reassign gender. No amount of surgery will turn that boy into a girl.

    You're correct. She's trying to become a guy. Again, you can't trans gender anyone.

    Sounds like good parenting to me. There is no such thing as really changing gender, and the suicide rates for these people before and after this Frankenstein surgery and Hormones routine remain high. And honestly why wouldn't they? You have a person with Mental Illness, and your idea of treatment is to serve them up a lie, and a costume.

    Sooner or later they realize they are not what they were told they could be, and now aren't even what they used to be.

    Shame on the grandparents for humoring this nonsense.

    And those kids who threaten suicide if they're not allowed to date that bad seed from down the street? Or go on Spring Break with hard drinking buddies? Or aren't allowed that expensive prom dress?

    Who is running this show? The medical 'professionals', or the children?

    That's nonsense. Why do you think a doctor or psychiatrist would take that seriously?

    I realise you're having a lend of me ... but unfortunately there are plenty of parents out there who think it's a good idea to enable what they call 'self expression' but which is really narcissism made worse by the fostering of eccentricity. Every person I've ever met (professionally and personally) who was raised this way is either a) a complete misfit who is unable to function in the real world, or b) so self-absorbed that they are literally toxic to be around.

    No, the kid is depressed because she's an over indulged brat with mental health issues. This is the parents fault, but at least they're trying to save her now. They probably know the statistics.

    And there it is, folks. Anyone who doubts the extremely sinister foundation of this phenomenon, has only to read the above.

    When it's not about S.E.X (and children), it's 'nonsense'.

    If the boy had a brain, he would wait one year and then he wouldn't need his parents permission.

    But then he would have to pay for his "transformation", and I'll bet that is what this is all about.

    No. He was probably always straight, but was encouraged to experiment because he has complete f-wits for parents. The mother in particular, is IMO definitely a candidate for a Munchausens-by-Proxy diagnosis.

    He'll die young most likely, poor kid. And it will be entirely his mother's doing.

    Are you asking why doctors would take threats of suicide seriously?

    Wasn't that the basis of your argument in this case?

    Seriously?

    I quite agree with you and feel as you do. If it seems like I was mocking you I've given the wrong impression.

    They are/were willing to risk losing relationship with her to save her life. As any responsible parent would be.

    Indulgence is EXACTLY what the lazy and self-interested parent does. The selfless and responsible parent does the much harder yards of strong guidance.

    Gender dysphoria, depression, anxiety are all existing, diagnosable disorders.

    Not getting to go on a spring break vacation is not.

    You can't come up with a solid argument, so you resort to this BS.

    Very impressive /s

    That's because this trans thing is a white mans disease. Like old European kings who lose their minds. They've had it too good, for too long.

    Are you saying that kids commit suicide because they didn't get to go on a spring break vacation? That's pretty dumb.
