Food preference compared to a diagnosable condition isn't an accurate comparison.

...that'd be like comparing a normal 6 year old's belief in Santa, with a schizophrenic 6 year old hearing voices that aren't there. While both technically involve "believing in something that isn't there", the former can be addressed by the parents explaining that they're the ones putting the present under the tree and that it's not a random hefty guy in a red suit. A parent can tell a schizophrenic child that "the voices you're hearing aren't really there, it's just in your head" till they're blue in the face, it's not going to make those voices any less real/scary for the child.

What did people do before sex change procedures were available? THEY LIVED WITH IT. My 6 year old also wants to be a dolphin but I guess she’ll have to settle for being a girl since thankfully that procedure isn’t available yet.

The wife trying the make a child a daughter when actually it is the husband trying to make the child a son, while ignore 3 medical professionals diagnostics of the child suffering from gender dysphoria. When the child is alone without either parents the child identify as a girl/desired to be a girl.

In the news reports it was alleged that even the diagnosing doctors did not find that the child was distressed about his current gender, which is one of the criteria of GD. What does it say in the testimony?

No, you brought up unisex changing facilities. That's not the same as trans-women in the women's restroom. One is a facility were everyone goes in and gets undressed in front of each other at the gym, the other is a room where people go into closed stalls and go to the bathroom.

Then why do you think that sexual assault, rape, voyeurism and other crimes happen more often in unisex facilities than separate facilities?

What did people do before cataract surgery? THEY WENT BLIND!!!

Completely different scenario. I’m talking about a 7 year old boy that wants to be a girl and you’re comparing it to an actual physical condition that impairs a person’s sight. Maybe I’m just too old fashioned but the way I see it kids always want something and they always cry when they don’t get it. The way I’ve always dealt with this kind of situation is by just saying NO and if they persist about it, I tell them in a loud firm voice NO!! NOW GET OVER IT!! YOUR NOT GOING TO GET EVERYTHING YOU WANT SO SHUT UP ABOUT IT!! But hey that’s just me.

IRC it says the child identify as a boy only when the father is around. There is no indication that he would allow the child to explore their own gender at their own household.

This was all posted in the news stories. The issue was that the doctors on both sides, per the articles, said he did not feel distress over his gender, which is part of the diagnostic criteria.

That’s good there shouldn’t be a need to explore his gender only a need to grasp reality.

Ok hold on, Me and Rob are pretty sure the kid has been diagnostic with gender dysphoria.

Well, hopefully THEY REPENTED, turning to Yahuweh to live subject to Him. (instead of continuing to be disobedient and rebellious) (and obviously instead of trying to find a way to continue sinning willingly).

That seems to be the father’s goal in this fiasco.

Which is what exactly?

Already stated. One of the key criteria is not just thinking you are the other gender, but feeling distress at your current gender, which all seemed to acknowledge he did not.

Hearing in Custody Battle Over Alleged Transgender Seven-Year-Old Will Resume Next Week | The Texan

Both witnesses — as well as all of the mother’s witnesses who know James — testified that James has not displayed any signs of distress. Everyone described him as a bright, happy, outgoing child.


As Odeneal repeatedly pointed out, this contradicts one of the two requirements for gender dysphoria according to the DSM-V, the current manual used by the American Psychiatric Association.


According to the DSM-V, a child with gender dysphoria must display six of eight certain characteristics relating to their gender expression or feelings (e.g. what clothes they like to wear, if they insist that they are the opposite gender, etc.) and they must display distress associated with those characteristics.


Those who testified — and even those who diagnosed James with gender dysphoria — said that he has not displayed any such distress.

Ok, what news article in question that told you this?

Edited my last post to include it as you typed this. But we have discussed all this for many pages. Perhaps you could read the earlier posts.

I take it, you never met a Transgender. It a lot different that a child wanting to be a dolphin. Its not even comparable. That goes away. Transgenders people don't . In the past Transgender female, were forced to dress male. Even getting caught when they dressed in dress. They would get in trouble. But it never went away. Eventually they move out on their own. And dressed like a woman and get bottom surgery . And get their driver's license changed to female. Even though many family members disown them for it. It way different than a child seeing a cartoon. And wanting to be a whale for a few weaks .

It doesn’t go away? So your saying no one ever wanted to be a different gender then later changed their mind? How would you even know that?

The world loves its own , so the world loves it when people want what is wrong, and the world will say and even "prove" (with deception) that "it does not go away" , or even that it is there to start with ! (it may not be the self-human at all (the cause) , and maybe may be driven away or changed by prayer and fasting ) ...

It is not popular in the world to hold to a Christian view point, nor to the truth,
but
people have been healed by the Healer, total peace and contentment in salvation in Christ Jesus....
