I am glad my kids didn't go through a mentally combative move in having a sex change...

I support teens defining their gender preferences. The spectrum is broad.

I think it's just as bad as encouraging your child to have any other cosmetic surgery. It can also be dangerous. You have to learn to accept yourself for what you are.

No, because sex drive is imposed on you, whether you like it or not. And after that, you have to follow the role your genitals assign on you, or you will not be accepted and end up like a reject freak, forever. Even the biggest bully can take that only for so long.

Then you go get yourself some psychiatric help to deal with who you are. You aren't going to magically become the opposite sex just because you wish it to be the case. Wishes are like buttholes, everyone has one.

I think it is worse. From science, it looks that there are two separate parts of the neuro system that deal with desires, sexual or other. One part is responsible for the desire for something, and it is a separate part that is responsible for getting satisfaction and thereby balance the desire. If these two parts are not matched, you get either a passive person, or an unsatisfiable bully. The transgender psychology is widely observed to fall in the second category.

You mean one that is not trained with the stupid anglosaxon LGBT propaganda that homosexuality is not a decease? I was trying the scientific approach.

A "decease?" Lol. You mean "disease?" Good grief.

You have any credentials to be using a "scientific approach?" I imagine that you do not. Link?

Do you want to look at the other side of this Chris? Or is any parent who agrees to let their child start hormone therapy abusive?

Is the child malformed physically or mentally? And if yes, then is that caused hormonally? If yes to both, then a restorative hormon therapy may be useful. Otherwise it is biologically dangerous and should wait till adulthood.

Not necessarily abusive but not doing the child any favors either.

My son says otherwise. I care about him more than your opinion.

Your son is a child whose frontal lobes are not yet fully functioning.

Must be hard on the kids and the parents too, but I still think that potentially dangerous and life changing surgery and hormones are NOT the way to go with this. It could ruin the kid's life permanently.

If teens brains are mature enough to use birth control hormones, be sexually active and have abortions in some instances they can decide how to express their own gender identity and not need to conform to what a particular society is socially constructing because of what genitals they are born with.

If people are worried about effects of hormones why not worry about the other drugs kids are given and the effect on the brain and body?

My son is nearly 17. Next July he will be 18. He will have the surgery then and it won't be up to me anymore. You can lose a kid if you are not supportive of who he is.

Don't think I didn't make him see 2 psychiatrists and 3 pediatric endocrinologist before I agreed. This is no light thing and I wouldn't have wished it on anyone. Try and imagine how this kid feels.

If I may ask, what did the two psychiatrists say?

The last time this was scientifically discussed in the English language was in the early 1980's, which is when homosexuality was removed from the DSM publication of the surgeon general, which is used nationwide as a basis of legal coding of medical diagnoses. The two neurological processes working independently was a fact even back then though, although this is ancient history. Nature is built after much more shoddy plans than what we would expect.

Sorry, I'm not buying it. I think it is a psychological disorder similar to anorexia, a body dysmorphic syndrome.

I don't lack empathy for your or his situation. I just don't think that surgery and hormone therapy is the right course. That's my opinion on the matter.

He's one year away from being old enough to have surgery. Hormones at 17 is not an extremely radical treatment. He has been living as a male already for 3 years. His bio mom's comment was "Now I know why he went to school pissed off everyday after I'd fix his hair and put him a dress every day".
