I've known a lot of gay people to say that they knew they were different from a really young age, maybe it's along the same lines as that.
I would say as long as the kid is happy and its not just the mom doing it for attention then **** it. He can always go back to dressing like a boy if he doesn't like it anymore. Just don't let him cut his penis off. That's kind of permanent.
not enough info given to have an informed opinion, plus it's thedailymail so you know there's gonna be a heaping ton of ******** mixed in.
I will say this, though. Some people are just born the wrong gender. Call it mental illness, call it whatever, but some children are just born with the complete opposite gender identity. and no they're not "forced", or "conditioned" (in most cases at least). when you watch how they go about their life it's obvious that it's just their nature. I'd imagine it's pretty traumatizing to have to grow up as the opposite gender, especially when puberty hits. In cases like these, I think it's only good parenting to allow your kid to be who they are, even starting hormones early on. That being said, I DO realize that these cases are very rare, and parents should wait until it's completely obvious before they take action.
Bottom line, forcing your kid to be something they obviously aren't will only damage them further.
Something makes me seriously doubt the validity of the self-mutilation story full stop.
Even assuming that it is true, putting the poor kid in a dress isn't the way he should be treated to ensure that he doesn't do **** like that in the future.
Again, I'm skeptical that the first part actually happened. As if a three year old can hold a coherent conversation about slicing off his own body parts in order to change gender.
Agreed, like, isn't forcing him to live this false illusion that he is a girl going to make him want to manipulate his genitals even more after he discovers girls don't have dicks?
Well apparently the doctors said it was the healthiest option for him. They go to school to know these things. However school does not necessarily affect poor judgement. The parents seem reasonable though, and they make sure he knows he can turn back anytime for now. Not the regular, "my baby is a girl and I know it so I'll dilude It into believing so" crazys.
Good point, but here's the thing, regardless if he thinks he is a girl or not, he isn't. All I'm saying is sometimes it's better to accept reality and deal with it then to reject it. Uncomfortable truth is better than a comfortable lie.
How can his mum tell him to love himself for who he is when she is allowing him to completely reject himself and his body. Not being harsh but, there is a reason why very few transsexuals live to 50...
If a toddler wants - genuinely wants - to live as a girl, I say let them. The kid's six now, yeah? According to this article here metro.co.uk/2015/12/07/boy-6-becomes-britains-youngest-transgender-child-after-mum-found-him-trying-to-cut-off-his-willy-5549667/ the kid's doctor was the one who diagnosed him/her with gender dysphoria and has said that as long as it's made clear she/he can change his/her mind at any time, it'd be okay. I think I agree.
No, I don't think anyone younger than 15 can really, absolutely, 100 percent know what their sexuality or gender is, because their brains are not developed enough. But this is a six year old child who wants to wear a dress and play with dolls and be called "Danni". I don't see a problem with it.
The kids doctor is a ******* moron, he's 3 years old, you don't know what sex is let along what gender you want to be at age 3. If that doctor seriously diagnosed a 3 year old, he needs his licence suspended because he's, as I said before, a ******* moron.
I teach kids for a living, young kids, pre-school to 3rd grade. Iv'e seen kids that want to be fire trucks when they grow up, I've seen kids who want to be dogs and cats, and yes I've seen girls and boys who pretend their the opposite gender. these things are nor permanent, they are games or misunderstandings that the kids cannot comprehend so they act out. this kid probably got told that boys are bad and evil and having a penis is bad so he thought "well if that's bad I should cut this thing off and be good" he in no way has the mental capacity to think about the complexities of sexual "identity" Again the doctor needs to be thrown out of the medical field, and the mother needs to be thrown into the ocean.
why don't ye just kids play with and act how they like...within limits.
if a boy wants to play with dolls and wear a dress then why the **** not, they are like 4, by
the time they grow up even a little they might completely change their mind, nobody gives a
god damn **** if a girl wears pants and wants to play soldier.
people like this are the result of pro-faggot propaganda
gays, transgenders and pedos belong in a gas chamber
they are twisting the minds of our youth and our children
However... extreme this is, He's not wrong, there are people out there twisting the minds of our youth. It's very possible to turn a strait boy in the throws puberty into a flaming homo. It's especially easy with boys because they are under the impression that if their dick gets hard, they must enjoy it, when in reality a fat sweaty ape with a club foot and one tooth could be stroking his dick and he'd be feeling pretty damn good, assuming the ape doesn't' rip is dick off.
Kids at that age dick around all the time Get it? Dick around? . Who's to say he doesn't even care about becoming a girl at all and was just bored.
And here is something no one has mentioned yet, how the bloody **** did this kid manage to grab a pair of scissors without his mum knowing? If you ask me that is pretty crap parenting, he is 3-years old. Maybe she is just desperate for someone to push her views onto and decided it would look 'cool' and 'progressive' to try and turn her son into a girl.
Stupid me, read the article. He did want to be a girl after all.
Still though. He is a kid, he has no idea about the consequences of doing that. His mum should know better. When I was a wee tot for some reason I wanted to move to China. If my mum thought, " **** it, you're only enough to make your own decisions, here is your plane ticket" I would dog-eating rice farmer by now.
A lot of Trans supporting people are saying the child is self aware enough at 3 to make that sort of choice, and understand he is truly Trans, whilst I disagree, if the child is so aware of such a thing, what has his probably #votefortrans mother put into the childs head to make him want to physically cut off his own penis penis for simply being a boy
was he influenced somehow or maybe it's an actual case of someone born with the wrong body. In which case you would probably get him assessed before making that decision

Ask kid why, and if he says he doesn't know, give him a science degree.
Dedication in that magnitude to one's curiosity is what we need.
Otherwise, send him to a therapist.
When I was 4-5 yo, I saw a spot of a man shaving, the next morning I "shaved" my face, I don't remember a lot, obviously, but my parents say that I came into the kitchen saying "look mum, I shaved myself!" and my face was covered in blood. What could I have been???
