Gerry do you have a link for more info on this?



Nasty comment- Consider the child is without doubt receiving counseling and by professionals for this. This issue did not suddenly arise.

Nothing said about that in the OP, just a child allowed to state a very important position. The media makes me puke nearly as bad as these queers on this board.

What the hell is it with you and "queers"? You want to define "queers" for me?

and she and her Grandmother are trying to do something about that. Namely trying to get BC MLA's to change the law to allow Transgendered persons to have their identification changed like Ontario allows.

Give us more info about the child and her parents. I do not have a problem with the simple fact of transgender, i do have a problem with no proof, just like the border guards. I also have a problem with queers taking up causes with no actual information about them.

You know exactly what i mean by queer gerry.

You lose any credibility with your continual use of "queers". Except that is as a credible homophobe! :roll:

You "guys"?

Would you prefer Gals? :lol:

Yes, lets put the mental well being of a person up for scrutiny on a web forum, nothing could possibly be wrong or untoward about that right? Ridiculous.

Whats more, apparently on this forum we have a few with reading comprehension problems. If you believe that a ten year old isn't capable of making a major decision, like sex reversal surgery, then why the hell would you be against the person having the option like those in Ontario, to declare their gender without a major and invasive surgery? If a ten year old identifies as a boy, and then changes his mind when they're older, well then it's a hell of a lot easier physically and mentally when there wasn't a surgery complicating matters.

That is just phucked up.

Before continuing the back & forth further gentlemen ,ask yourself two questions:
1; DO YOUHAVE GARDEN GNOMES?
2. IF SO, DO YOU REALISE THAT THEY ARE POSSESSED AND are just egging you on tonight as part of "the Devils' mischief??"

A 10 year old doesn't have the mental or emotional capacity to decide to be TG or not. It's that simple. They are not of legal age to do anything. They can't drive or vote or make their own medical decisions. Heck, they are only allowed to testify in court in special circumstances and usually never in a criminal proceeding. Somebody has f*cked this child up in some way.

Gender identity IS an issue that patients say arises in toddlerhood, and perseveres through puberty. It's not a 'decision' made at adulthood. If it were, counselors would tell people to change their fool minds back and not attempt to morph their bodies into the opposite gender.

I feel for this person. I think it's sad to consider life dysmorphic in any way shape or form. Not feeling at home in your own body.

But, that being said, I think calling yourself a girl when pat downs and security scanners will quickly show you're not, opens you up to just as much strife as having boy on the passport does. Despite the fact that normally it falls into the realm of nobody's business but those you choose to talk to about it, it seems to me that for traveling having a designation of 'gender transitioning' would make more sense and removed the need for a lot of unnecessary questioning, although it might be less PC.
