The subject was transgender children.

I watched a mother describe her 2 1/2 year old son standing in the bath with a nail clipper in hand and he said to his mom, "This is wrong... it doesn't belong here..." pointing at his penis.

I watched a father break down and cry when he talked about how much pain his small child was in due to "being in the wrong body"....

My point to all this is simple, direct, and honest....

How can a child make up such a sceinerio?

The answer is simple... They don't...

Children understand emotions and feelings... They have no idea about gender issues, about heterosexuality, or homosexuality, or sex for that matter....

Children only (and that is provided they are exposed to the differences) that boys have a peepee and girls don't...

I look at these several children, some girls who deep inside know they are boys and some boys who know they are in reality girls and as I watched it became easy to know that these small children know what is right for themselves.

In other words, there is nothing unnatural in their decisions and there is nothing socially wrong with them as well.

They are who they are.... the pain in their eyes was palpable and quite real. The acceptance of their families was heartwarming and the support was endless.

I wish it were like this for all gender alternative kids.


Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

Frankly, we think such laws are silly. They do young people more harm than good. How can you possibly ask questions on a gay forum without coming out to your parents if you need consent?
So it is up to you. If you post here we assume that you are of legal age to do so or have consent if not, and we do not want to know any different
