Would you tell your teen daughter to wait until she is 18 to get medication or surgical procedures for her diagnosed illness? I'm a bit perplexed as to the ignorance in this world. Clearly this person has never had a friendship with someone with transgender conflicts. Understand before you past Judgement and you'll find the core of why many decisions are made.<br /><br />As far as Obama and his health care bill, if this type of therapy makes depressed and cognitively ill patients happy, engaged and productive citizens, doesn't that add to the tax base, rather than drawing off it?<br /><br />It's amazing to see the most conservative view points wanting to combine church and state, while our constitution states it must be separate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20024595.post-37422427167910621172009-12-21T01:28:46.690-08:002009-12-21T01:28:46.690-08:00lucky her... try spending 45 years being something...lucky her... try spending 45 years being something you are not.

Rather than being able to accept that your God is capable of creating someone who desires acceptance and recognition of their own sense of self; you opt to belittle their choice because you cannot allow that your Creator is capable of such ambiguous irregularities.<br /><br />People like Kim are not here to flaunt your religious rules and precepts, but are struggling to live among us without the stigma that black and white opinions of gender and sexuality roles force upon them.

If she would be unhappy as a boy, why should she be forbidden to live a happy life? What is your problem with this? And if she's made a mistake, it's her mistake, not yours, consider that her "punishment". But why in the world should this decision bother you? She is a person, as are you, so treat her like a person and respect her feelings.katherine rebecca leverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03628979375909679092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20024595.post-2660614017075707352009-02-12T09:52:00.000-08:002009-02-12T09:52:00.000-08:00AMS: "Most transsexuals know from a very young age...AMS: "Most transsexuals know from a very young age that their physical sex doesn't match their gender."<BR/><BR/>I have to agree, it's a standard issue for transsexual indiviuals: A lost childhood.

Most transsexuals know from a very young age that their physical sex doesn't match their gender. With appropriate counseling - and all the guidelines seem to have been followed in this case - there's no reason a teenager shouldn't be able to have the surgery. And there's no way that this child will later want to "go back to being a boy", because she never was a boy to begin with.<BR/><BR/>Please, know what you're talking about before you post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20024595.post-15164584165978494342009-02-08T16:00:00.000-08:002009-02-08T16:00:00.000-08:00wow 64 some heavy stuff here! aside form the polit...wow 64 some heavy stuff here! aside form the political element, i am conflicted and sympathetic to those who can't seem to find the peace and identity in who they are, so they must change. that loss of not "knowing" yourself is a very hollow feeling!Pat Jenkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18142174423986806144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20024595.post-71859865507810447312009-02-08T14:31:00.000-08:002009-02-08T14:31:00.000-08:00How could a 12 year old know that he is a girl tra...How could a 12 year old know that he is a girl trapped in a boy's body?
