Eight Year Old Boy takes medication to delay puberty as he ponders his gender

[Busted_Toes]

Sounds like the parents were relatively responsible in this instance. They were hesitant to take action, but the kid's behavior was extreme and he was threatening to mutilate himself, so they did the research, took him to a psychiatrist, and eventually and came up with a reasonable response. They're not turning him into anything. All they're doing is delaying puberty and giving the kid time so he can clear up his confusion one way or another.

@Type Username Here , this is the kind of thing I was talking about in terms of responsible parenting when we discussed this issue before. IMO this kind of puberty delay is good for kids who need to sort themselves out, since it doesn't commit them to anything one way or another and causes no long term effects, while allowing them to mature as people and see if it's a phase or not.

If he has a penis, then he's a boy.

What if an 8 year old boy feels that he wants to be a parrot? ...He's 8, give him some cereal and put on Dragonball Z. What the fukk is the world coming to.

They aren't responsible. Every person who has taken a psy class knows about the identity phase kids go through between ages of 5 and 12. The kid can't figure himself out because the parents are doing it on themselves. Is that the reason many are having thoughts of killing themselves.

We've already been through this and several people, myself included, have posted extensive research on it that is what should be guiding our attitudes towards these behaviors. There's no evidence whatsoever that being raised by homosexual parents causes sexuality issues in children. That much has already been confirmed by every study on the subject. You can keep repeating what you feel emotionally, but that doesn't change the facts of the issue.

He was threatening to chop off his own dikk. The parents took him to a psych specialist. This is what they recommended. He can get therapy while the blockers prevent him from displaying even more extreme behavior, and when his confusion is cleared up, they can stop. This is a solution everyone should be able to get behind, whether you're pro trans or anti trans. Again, no one is giving him a sex change, so your thread title is incorrect.

@Busted_Toes or @BarNone , you should edit the title. There was no sex change involved here. It's bad enough that the emotional people responding to this thread are already too outraged to actually read the article. No need to cause further confusion with the title.

Did you even read the article you retard? How about just the first paragraph? The kid is going through a sex change.

Seriously bro, people like you are ruining humanity.

I was going to name the thread "fukkboi in a dress" but it was a serious issue.

This would never happen in Africa. This is caused by going to these extra liberal schools and seeing rampant homosexuality that warped the young boy's mind. If he could have a masculine heterosexual male role model in his life, this catastrophy wouldn't have happened. This will be more frequent in the future.

Read the article again. There is no sex change in it. All they're doing is delaying puberty so he can sort out his confusion. They are not giving him female hormones, surgeries, changing the sex on his ID, or anything else. The purpose of the delay is to let him figure himself out INSTEAD of giving him a sex change.

Yall are so damn emotional about this topic that you become functional illiterates. The article is obviously a hit piece by the UK's equivalent of Fox News. That's why it describes delaying puberty as "transitioning to a girl" when the two are completely different. For all your whining about the low quality and bias of mass media reporting, you should be easily able to see that in the article.

The article doesn't raise anything about the kids mental condition at home and before he was adopted. Self Mutilation deals with someone who has been abused( physical, sexual, mentality.). Extreme behavior doesn't go away from hormone blockers, they only suppress them.

Hormone shots and changing his name to Tammy is signs of a sex change. This is not how you delay puberty. Puberty is natural to delay it is unnatural. He can't figure it out because he has been abused. He is 8 Real.

Please @TheReal stop trying to justify sick behavior.

 

[TheReal_Broke_88m3_13]

@ anyone trying to normalize this type of behavior; it's sick on all fronts. While I'm not against same sex couples raising childeren, it almost seems if this kid is suffered from the lack of a father figure, if he feels some way about chopping off his joint at such an early again....

His name didn't get changed. He just calls himself that. And the hormone shots are not female hormones. They just delay puberty so he can sort out his confusion without the added psychological pressures. It's completely temporary.

Please @TheReal stop trying to justify sick behavior.

What sick behavior? This is a purely therapeutic initiative, recommended by psychiatric and medical specialists. Sick would be forcing him to turn into a girl against his will. Instead, they are trying to cure his confusion.
