Hundreds of transgender youths who had gender reassignment surgery wish they hadn't...

I haven't told this to anybody, but I actually struggled with gender identity issues for awhile when I was 16 or 17 (somewhere around there). It was because I was surrounded by so-called "hateful conservatives" that I never declared anything, or tried to go as far as getting a surgery, and I'm so grateful that I didn't! That was definitely a low point in my life, with a lot of issues going on in my head, and even though it's seen by our culture as "openness" if someone would've let me stop identifying as male, it's been such a blessing that I wasn't in an environment where that would've been acceptable. Thanks largely to Jason Evert & the Theology of the Body, I've since discovered my purpose as a man, and that really resonated with me: This is literally who I was designed to be! Thank God for bringing me to the truth on gender roles in a very confused society!

And on the subject, here's the best view on transgenderism I've ever heard; it's about 9 minutes, and you'll quickly see why I praise his view:

May God bless us all, especially those in difficult emotional situations!

I have read recently that "transgender" play is very common among...toddlers and preschoolers.

Boys playing at being pregnant and breastfeeding. Girls planning to grow up to be a daddy.

Well, these things are good things, and the kids don't understand that boys do not get pregnant and girls do not grow up into "daddies". So why wouldn't / shouldn't they play? Plenty of time to learn about...limitations.

What I'm saying is that I can believe that this trans-kid stuff is just reinterpreting a very common phenomenon in child development...and then fanning it into a fire and selling drugs and hormones...

I agree. There's a lot of money to be made. They lose the money if folks take a step back from surgery and hormones, and learn to live as and accept their birth sex.

hmm. if the boy is doing that for the sake of humor then I say it's normal. However, if he seriously role playing then I don't think that is normal.
