Haven't feminists been fighting gender roles for decades? Now we're being told that being a girl DOES in fact mean different behaviors, roles and activities?

If feminists want to fight gender roles, let them get jobs in logging, mining, welding, construction,,,, you know,,, jobs where people get killed on a semi-regular basis.

As long as its men getting killed, so what.

If women were getting killed on jobs at the same rate as men, there would be a national outcry.

I think our society could avoid a large amount of drama and grief by dropping the gender rolls.

This family is the one creating the gender roles. They're saying that he's a girl not because of his DNA, but because he wears a dress.

Awe... you almost made it through an entire post without blaming "liberals". You really need to invest in a mirror with your next UI check. The one responsible for your woes will be staring you right in the eyes.

Yeah, because passing boys off as girls is a conservative activity.

Religious zealots on the right are their own brand of crazy. That doesn't give a pass to this crazy shit that comes from the left.

Do not see the harm.

Can someone explain it?

Seriously? You seriously don't see the harm?

I don't even have to give you my opinion. This has been attempted by people before, raising a boy as if he were a girl, and it has ended with disastrous results, including suicide. I'd have to dig through some google searches but there is strong evidence of these situations going very, very wrong when the kid finally begins to understand he has been lied to his entire life by the people closest to him.

You are assuming there is no licensed medical professional involved in the child's life. Gender dysphoria is a clinical diagnosis. A parent has two choices if such a diagnosis is made. Force their child to be their natural born gender and create an extremely fucked up human being or allow them to live the life of the gender they identify as and have an ostrichized but less fucked up in the long run human being.

Wait what? OK gender roles is one thing but turning the child into a flighless bird is quite another. Now I'm outraged!

Sorry, pedantic I know but I actually laughed out loud and had to explain myself to the wife when I read it.

Ostracized!

If only liberals would bring science into feminism

Lets see, stay home and drive rivets,,,, or go to war and get mowed down by machine guns?

As for the opening post, the boy needs to use the boys restroom.

I am not getting the impression that the parents are forcing this kid in any given direction, just encouraging the kid to explore an identity.

From this thread though it seems like a lot of people want to parent other people's kids, and the majority seem to be people who claim to value liberty.

I dont give a fuck the little freak needs to be removed and home schooled and the fucktard parents investigated for child abuse.

They're doing this for the money. There was a similar case in one of the schools where I am an autism advocate. Parents decided the little boy had to be treated as a little girl because that's how the parents raised him/her. They got tons of publicity, got a fortune from some TV organization for their story.

Let me see if I can find some links to that.

Or option C -- explain to the child we are all born with certain body parts and you're free to behave or act as you please. However, you do not get to use the girl's restroom because you are biologically a boy. When you grow up there are medical options for changing gender if you choose to pursue them. For now, you are a little kid and don't need to worry about it.

The claim that the child said at AGE 4 that he wanted to go to the doctor to get fixed is complete bullshit. No 4 year old would ever say that without adult prompting.

you guys are takeing this this to the absurd. this has nothing to do with what type of job the may do. what toys they play with.

the school is in the right. sorry a male should not be going to the bathroom with he girls. if they allow it and encourage it what happens when the kid is older?

Also the kid is what 6? at that age my son pretends to be a sheep or a dog. that does not make him one.

odds are the kid is going to outgrow this and figure it out. I think perhaps the parents are pushing it for the wrong reason.

You don't see the harm in raising a young boy to believe he's a girl?

I don't see that as any of my, or anyone elses, business. The bathroom issue OTOH is understandable and it looks like the school was rather appeasing to the child and parents by allowing him to use gender neutral bathrooms or the nurses bathroom.

Hell, I knew kids in high school that would have dressed up as girls just to be able to use the girls bathrooms. What happens when the kid gets older and has to start changing for gym or playing sports. Are the parents going to sue because he isn't allowed to put his jockstrap on in the girls locker room? What happens if during puberty he likes girls and starts popping wood every time they change? The last one could be just as bad for the kid if he likes boys and the same thing happens in the boys locker room but at least he wouldn't be exposing himself to the opposite sex on a daily basis.

The bottom line is that "special needs" does not mean you get anything and everything you want, when you want it, and how you want it. The parents can either learn to compromise or they will do a TON of harm to the poor kid who appears to already have a tough childhood in front of him.
