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.

I disagree with you on kids knowing whether they are gay at that young. I could not put it into context when I was small, but I definitely knew I was more attracted to the guys than the chicks. Not till I was in the seventh grade did I figure out I was a queer. But I do think some actually know they where gay, when they were young. But on the transgender issue, I think it is better to wait till they are older, to decide whether or not they really think they are a girl/boy.
