I have two thoughts.
#1, do you know what kind of life you are setting that child up for? Can you imagine the amount of teasing and akwardness this child will go through. Drugs to block puberty and cause them to physically change, OMG. Frankly, I'd rather be a girl/woman than have to go through that pain. The child wants to be a boy at 6? What younger brother hasn't had their sister put makeup and a dress on them. And what girl hasn't played basketball, football, or hotwheels with their brother. And you guys make a great point, if you can't decide what underoos (superman or spiderman) to wear to school that day, do you really think they can decide something that impacts THE REST OF THEIR LIFE... Hello.. McFly.... Anyone home?
Parents, put down the phones, stop texting eachother, TALK TO EACHOTHER, and for god sakes, DO YOUR JOB. Be a parent. Guide that child. Teach them humility, compassion, decency, honesty, suffering, service, and LOVE. Teach them to be a good person and a member of society that does something good for the world. Not someone that says I'm special because I chose to be when I was 6...
#2, is google going to block this post. Sorry, had to do it. I'll put my spoon away now, because I am sure I have stirred it up a little more. LOL..
