I don't see it as my place to tell someone they can't get a tattoo, or put a ring through their nose, or shave their head bald and wear a wig for the rest of their life. I also do not see it as my place to judge someone who does such things. I do, however, have a fairly poor opinion of people who force their own beliefs and values upon other people, and judge those who do not fit their ideal of human perfection (Hitler anyone?).
Let's not bring Godwin point here, it has no link at all with Hitler, Mussolini, Mao, Pol Pot or even Augusto Pinochet. It won't win your argument about people who believe differently, especially considering what you just said doesn't apply only for "bigots" you liberals like to blame for all the troubles possible. The liberal progress-seekers neo-conformists also happen to be narrow-minded in their own scheme of things, even though it's almost the opposite of their adversaries.
The first thing this boy learned to say was "I am a girl." He has two older brothers who could have been male role models to him. Guess what, they weren't. When told he could pick out his own clothes, he chose bras and dresses.
When I was a kid, I didn't believe I would become a Ninja Turtle, but that I would become Ash from Pokemon, and other funny things like this. Fortunately it would have only involved longer hair (even though I didn't pick the haircut for whatever reason I don't remember) and walking with steel balls in my pockets. I didn't go past the idea towards the incarnation of my wish, but you can see that people when they are kids don't really have a realistic view of the world. Also, when I became a preteen, I wanted to become black (do a reverse Michael Jackson thing lol) because I was obsessed with rap. I'm glad my parents didn't say yes and spent fortunes to have my skin become brown and other surgery stuff like this to have my wish granted. I am without a doubt far from being the only example who had temporary strong fantasies that were meant to vanish or moderate themselves with time. Now though, becoming black isn't anymore on my to-do agenda. I thank my parents to not have fallen into my childhood/teenage fantasies or else I don't know what I would be now lmao!!
Most children facing a gender identity crisis have zero understanding people there to support them, so they turn to suicide. These parents--the fact that they are a lesbian couple should not matter, since that has NOTHING to do with the boy's decision--chose to support their child in this decision.
"Support a child in their decision". That sentence sums up quite well why there's a big issue. It's not about the kid wanting to become a ballet dancer (heck there are men who are ballet dancers...) or something like this, but they followed by having him changing/modifying his nature even before he was 18, even before he was 16, even before he was 13!!!
Seriously, I will repeat myself and say "I'm glad my parents weren't silly enough to fall for all my preteen fantasies or else I don't know where it would have ended" (a black Ash who believes to be a Goa'uld as well XD, I'm joking but well see my point?)
But they did not go out of their way to turn him into a girl. They waited until he tried to mutilate his own genitals and then they listened. But they didn't just hand him what he wanted. They are giving him hormone suppressants which will stave off puberty until he chooses to go through puberty. He is likely undergoing counseling to help with his gender identity problems. He has the option to go through puberty whenever he likes, be it 14 or 20, and when he does it can be to become a male or a female.
There are psychologists around who are specialists of children who mutilate themselves, feel bad about themselves etc...but that doesn't mean going against nature or heading towards their temporary beliefs, especially at such a young age! Genders theory is nonsense.
The parents played no part in this other than supporting their child in a way that keeps him healthy and happy. There's no electroshock to un-gay him; there's no shame being thrown around; there is no unhealthy parenting going on.
A typical comment of the "kid is king and we must abide by their wishes" society we live in, leading to the troubles faced as well in Western Nation as in China. Parents are neither meant to refuse everything nor to accept everything. Especially such things as altering the nature of their child at such a young age. It's madness...
So I will not judge them or throw a fit about gays being parents or even claim that this is what is best for him. The truth is that no one knows. Just because we are stepping away from Christian traditions of hiding homosexuality, transgenders, and other gender/sexuality concerns does not mean any of this is new. This kind of thing has been going on since the dawn of time, but they are surviving now instead of being killed or killing themselves to make a world that doesn't understand them happy. Deal with it.
Typically the liberal way of thinking. It's never enough satisfying (and anyway it's always comparing an extreme to the other, "killing them all" vs "they do anything they want", as if there was nothing in between), the changes *must* be done, those who don't agree must shut up, as it's all in the name of so called "progress". *Facepalm*
[Stop condemning what you refuse to understand. He was adopted at age two, raised with two older brothers, given boys clothing and toys, and provided a happy home to do what kids do. Yes, the lesbian lovers CLEARLY forced him to want to become a girl. Problem is, he's nowhere close to becoming a girl...he's just being held back from puberty for a while until it is more clear (likely through counseling) what his decision truly is. Oh **Filtered**, let's shoot him now! Know what, let's shoot them all. Damn fags and their meddling ways!
The parents are guilty of their act, it's not blaming the child here we do, it's the parents, and doctors who support it.
And again, sound like if you said "accept it all" or else it means you want to do an "homosexual genocide".
