You have much more faith in Dr Phil's ability, to tell a second grader from his elbow, than I do.

I said Psychological testing. Not quack jobs.

Touché.
How can they test a second grader, except compare his answers and actions to standards? Isn't that putting him into a preset box?

He's a boy. If he and his parents want to make him a girl and change his name to Pat, fine and dandy, do it. Then he'll be a girl and problem solved.
But going through life being one thing, and claiming to be another, is going to bring him, and those around him, nothing but grief. He might even end up in jail.

This is starting to sound like all those arguments against gay marriage. "You can't let them marry cuz they might want to marry a goat next".

So you deny, that a male dressing as a female is going to at least have a rough road, even if he doesn't run afoul of the law?

Of course it will be a rough road. It's rough for anyone perceived as "different". But a rough road is always better than the wrong road.

Then why not make him what he and his parents claim him to actually be?
