thanks for being gracious Pelican. I am a bad speller at the best of times but am having difficulty using my computer without a mouse.

Dear runner,

I have to admit that I also find it rather
disturbing that this couple is taking the
course of action that they are with their
child. To me - it's a bit premature, to say
the least. An eleven year old is far to
young to be given any sort of medication
(which could have serious side-effects) to
deal with what could essentially be a mental
problem. I wouldn't blame their sexual orientation
on the way they're inappropriately handling the problem.
Any parent can make dreadful mistakes regarding
their children. This only shows that their human.

It is quite true, too early to know
Too early to act in the child's case
And in time we may know more,we need to as has been said know a great deal more.
Runner bats for Christianity, but a version of it I have not seen before.

By your absence of revulsion, can I assume that you think what these lessies are doing to this poor kid is OK?

Just when you think society can't become any sicker.....

Come to think of it, I'm a millionaire born into the wrong body and family. Can someone fix this for me?

This is only in the news because the parents are lesbian, which is ridiculous of course. And it doesn't mention once in the article that the parents are forcing anything on the child. That is just assumptions made by people ignorant of the facts.

For every gender dysphoric child raised by a gay couple, there must be thousands raised by straight couples.

And guess what, the ones raised by gay couples are probably one hundred times less likely to commit suicide.

'This is only in the news because the parents are lesbian, which is ridiculous of course'
No this is in the news because I would imagine that much of society is sick of the homosexual agenda that places its own self interest above that of children. It also shows how sexual confusion largely comes from not having a loving father and mother role model. It comes as no suprise also that this is California where failed socialist ideology is heavily embraced.
