I can just imagine the uproar if this child was allowed to have gender reassignment surgery at this age. Also, there is always the possibility that he will change his mind over time. That doesn't however mean that he isn't right now. Just that you have to allow for the possibility given his youth. There's also a strong possibility that he won't change his mind and will opt for gender reassignment later in his life.

If a kid is willing to put up with the amount of teasing he's likely to get for wearing a dress to school, you would have to say that he's fairly certain of what he wants. I mean seriously, we all tried to go against peer pressure at some time in our school lives, but unless it was something really important, don't most kids end up taking the easy road anyway?

OK, reading this article, along with Sheldon's reasoning, has made me rethink my position.
That said, I'm still skeptical that a second grader is prepared to make this determination? So maybe instead of kicking him in the ass, we can just beat him a little. ![]()

This story airs on Nightline tonight.
Commence Microsoft Internet Explorer Jokes now...... Maybe the 2nd grader will get bullied some. And maybe he'll change back again. And maybe he won't marry someone and have kids before he decides to be true to himself and gives them something to be bullied about. Kudos for admitting the rethink, though.

That's because I'm a dickhead and either deleted or failed to copy the link properly and must have been confused by my already open window on the story when I "checked" it.
This story aired on Nightline last night. Or so I believe. I was in bed by then. Wiped out.

Sorry, it works for me.... maybe because I have a LA Times cookie.
