I saw something quite interesting on Dr Phil the other day. There was a woman who came on to say that at the age of 3 her son wanted to be a girl. So the mother granted him to be a girl who now is 8 and loves being a girl. But the father is furious that the mother has allowed their "son" now referred to as their "daughter" to act, dress, and socialise like the opposite sex. Then Dr. Phil did an interview with the "girl" and said that the reason why that being female was the right gender, because "she" didn't feel right being a boy and had always been interested in being a girl. The "daughter" at the age of 3, actually walked up to "her" father and said "I want to be a girl, God made a mistake." This mother is even considering hormone therapy for her "daughter". Now there is a lot of debate over this and there was one confusion about this topic, some saying that it's a natural instinct and other people saying "When I was three, I wanted to be a horse". And a couple in the audience that said "God doesn't make mistakes, parents make mistakes."

I would say, you were born to be what you are, not what you are not. I would understand it if they made the choice later on in their life but not at three years of age.
first . I thought this was going to be a thread about scene kids that you can't tell if they're guys or chicks. Anyway. I dunno, maybe the kid really thinks he should be a girl. These things aren't unheard of.
I agree that the parents or the mum at least, took it a little too far. BUT, people are born like that and it's a fact.
I disagree with the second part. I think it's more a psychological thing rather than a genetical thing. It's psychosomatic to the "girl".
I dunno, but you probably know more than me i guess. You may as well wikipedia it, i can't be bothered
Yeah, and Michael Jackson wanted to be white and look at him now Seriously though, you are what you are, don't bitch and whine about it but accept it and move on with your life.
Are you against all sex changes then? I say if it makes you happier, go for it. Just be honest about it with future partners. This said, that boy was too young to understand. I think the mother's choice will have painful social ramifications.
At 3 years of age the kid barely knows the difference, socially etc anyway. Dumb decision mum, that's gonna be a very confused person for the rest of his/her life.
