Transgender Child?
Hello America,
I am perplexed today about a child in Douglas County that has decided that they wish to be acknowledged as a different gender than the gender in which they were born. When I say child, I am speaking of a person in the second grade. It’s not a typo.
This involves a second grade boy that wishes to dress as a girl and be addressed by a girl’s name. The school system is planning on being accomodating by creating two unisex bathrooms and also referring to the child by name instead of addressing them by gender.
There is an organization called the TransYouth Family Advocates that is providing this family and other families in Douglas County with support in dealing with this sensitive subject matter. According to Kim Pearson, executive director of the TransYouth Family Advocates, children as young as five years old are “realizing” their true identity.
Whei Wong, the Douglas County Schools spokesperson, says that the district views this as just another diversity issue and hopes everyone can accept and respect the student’s wishes. One parent that was brave enough to speak conservatively in this liberal egg sucking dog state said that, “I don’t think a (2nd) grader does have the rationale to decide this life-altering choice.”
Anyone else thinks that this is just a dream? How in the world did this issue become a part of our children’s society? Anyone else has fear running up their spine? How can this be? I am outraged and flabbergasted! Should we lower the age requirement to vote? Did someone watch that show called “Kid Nation” and thought that the world would be better off if children got to decide how they should live their lives?
Parents needs to start parenting again! Just because a child wants to stay awake until 3:00 a.m. doesn’t mean you allow them to do so. Are we now going to say that a child has the right to choose if they go to school, or if they bathe or not? If you relinquish an important boundary of deciding a child’s sexual orientation, what boundaries are left? Wake up America! Our children need our guidance. Stop dropping the ball! The consequences are too important.
