Parents transitioning their 3 year old boy

[Victorian Gray]

I just figured it was a troll thread from the start.

Anyone publicly trying to force sexual orientation on a 3 year old should be investigated I'd think.

Well, it's at least a thread that seems intended to draw some 'outrage'.

Who is forcing anything on anyone? Is that what you think the parents are doing?

If they actually try to steer him to something on a daily basis yes.

Just because a child randomly says one thing does not change their sexual orientation.

Is kinda of like someone else mentioned earlier, or several.

Kids are going to say silly things at that age like I want to be a rock, or have a older sister etc that has female things going on he would be interested in if his father has little to on interaction with him at that point.

And no I'm not projecting anything, I was the oldest male in our family and had a younger brother and a 10 year younger stepsister when I was 14.

It's a thread's time to die when pretty much everything has been said and responded to at least once.

If anything they should just make one thread for all general "arguments" and insult-trading, and then remove all other threads permanently.

Just look at the last exchange above your comment. Steering? Changing sexual orientation???

Then scroll back and you'll see they're all like that. All threads are like that. Always.

So fret not. It doesn't matter where people post their nonsense. All threads are the same.

Sexual orientation is not the same as gender identity.







Awful lot of conclusions and assertions in this thread based on faulty or misinformed information it seems.

Subyman: I see it as a poor parental choice.

M: Really! Do you also see that this is your opinion, one not based on any personal experience with the child or the parents, which sort of makes it a really filthy opinion because it's judgmental. The only person demonstrating poor choice is you. You know nothing but you are judging. How thoughtful of you.

S: I'm not sure about the "morality" of it.

M: What do you mean you're not sure about the morality of it. There are no moral ambiguities here. It's immoral to fuck up your kids. Are you from Mars?

S: If you want what's best for your child then it shouldn't be setting them up for a complicated life through their childhood, adolescence, and adult life.

M That would only be true IF the alternative to that would be worse for the child. What evidence do you have that that would be the case? None of course. but your opinion, the one that's judgmental.....


S: Say the child would turn out cisgendered, but simply has childish thoughts about looking up to his sister. Then indulging that at age 3 and letting them wear dresses, put on make up, and such could set them up for a major crisis. Nearly all children ask gender questions, but statistically nearly all kids turn out cisgendered. So immediately going down the path of "transitioning" a child at age 3 because the want to be like their older sibling is, frankly, crazy.

M: Yup!

Being open minded is awesome, but as they say, you shouldn't be so open minded your brain falls out.

M: Focus on having a brain to fall out before worrying that it might. Your hypothetical above is all well and good but you have no idea at all if that is what is actually happening. You have all this cabbage in your head and you can't seem to let go of it. Stop judging this family and their problems when you have no idea what they are or how to solve them best.

It was YOU who was fucked up as a child and YOU who is angry about it. You do not know what you feel or how it drives you. Empty yourself of opinions and look around. You will find people everywhere who are full of shit. Get to know yourself and you will have real understanding and experience.

I'm pulling for you.

So what is your point? No one should have responded to this thread in your opinion because no one here has spent time with the child. There is no opinion to be had. In my post I extrapolated using the most likely outcome, seems like the only thing to do here other than taking no opinion (but this is P&N.) Then you personally attack me saying I was fucked up as a child... Which is the furtherest thing from the truth, you aren't very good at reading people through posts. :thumbsup:

Edit: Also, I'd like to add there is zero "anger" in my post. Your post however...

Wow, looks like someone is so ate up with self hate they feel the need to share it with others. Hating one's self is bad enough but to display such extreme hate toward others is psychopathic in nature.

I'm inclined to conclude that so long as surgery is off the table

You should read up on what adults have to go through in order to have a sex change operation. We are talking years of talking to doctors and therapists and then they start you on hormones and then you wait even longer before a doctor will even consider doing the surgery.

No way in hell will a doctor perform a sex change operation on anyone under 18 much less a pre-teen, at least not a doctor in a country that requires licenses and actually enforces medical standards.

I don't know what most of you said (although I can only imagine alot of it was crap)

But I read the article and concluded that the little boy really loves his sister and wants to be more like her.

That seems perfectly natural.

I hope his parents understand when that boy turns 5/6/7/8 and wants to start wearing boys clothes again and stuff. His name will probably go back to "Jack" at some point.

No, they just pump little kids full of hormones and fuck up their brains and bodies to head off puberty.

Problem is he will be known as the boy who was a girl for a long time to come. Even to people who are perfectly fine with it, that's how he will first be known to them. Growing up one can be uncomfortable with a lot of things, and if he decides he doesn't want to be primarily known for that time of his life, well, it's too late. These situations have staying power.
