Being a mama, I don't know what I would do in that situation. My number one priority for the rest of my life is to support my kids, do right for them and teach them to do what's right for themselves. But, this is something I would not quite know how to handle.
I do believe that some people are indeed born with the wrong parts. My cousin recently came out to the family, but I have honestly known since she was 3 that she was gay (obviously she did too) but more importantly, I remember thinking at a very young age she should have been born a boy.
Is it the parents right to make this kind of decision for a child who has not even entered puberty yet? Would you encourage or discourage behavioral tendencies of this nature? Please discuss. |
I really cannot fathom that at all. When I was young, I had no emotional range whatsoever. I could be happy. I could be sad. I could be mad. That is about it. It wasn't until 5th grade maybe that I remember first feeling lonely (my little sister had just been born, and I became the left out middle child). For a seven year old to know that she was a girl, and not a boy is just almost unbelievable for me. The same goes for the gays and lesbians that say they've always known ever since they were 2 or 3 years old.
Who knows? Maybe I was just emotionally retarded for the first 10 years of my life.
