Ok folks here is one for you. I heard that there is a 2nd grader that wants to change his gender. I think this is in Colorado. I heard on the radio coming from the airport that the school will let him do so. His name,clothes etc. The school is backing him by building his own bathroom. I don't think this child is old enough to understand what this is all about. At that age I wasn't able to figure out how to "match" my clothes. Is this the way of the world today? I think this is a big mistake. What happens if he changes his mind? This will follow him all the way through the rest of his life. What is your opinion?

Well I think it is better to do it ealier than later. If this is what the person really wants. But at this age, can a child that young really know what he or she wants? I would have the child wait it out till maybe in junior high. And if he/she still feels the same than I would give it some consideration.

The child is not old enough to know what he wants. It seems that he might be angry because the girls get all the attention or his parents and the school are falling prey to the homosexual agenda that homosexuals and lesbians are born not made. (If they were born, then with all the pro=homosexual laws, would killing a baby in the womb for being homosexual be considered a hate crime in states that permit abortion and yet every other consideration be okay?) It is a big mistake. What kind of school is this anyway? You realize what the term homophibile really means, It does not refer to hating homosexuals as some hate people of color and different religions. It means being afraid, terrified of homosexuals because they yield so much power and this is the result, a little boy who hates being a little boy and wants to be a little girl. May God enter these people's minds and convince them of their error.

I dunno, i have seen on tv, which you can't believe everything you see or hear i know, that there is a reason for people who are trans gender being trans gender.. Something about when there dna is being developed in the mothers womb the DNA gets messed up and it says one thing in your genes, but your brain is coded as another.. like you were supposed to be born a girl, but your dna says boy. . See what i mean ? And if that is the case, then you would know very early on that something is wrong with you.. if your brain tells you one thing and your body tells you another.. I'd be one confused little person!!

I think this is such a mistake. Yes I have heard alot about trans gender lately. But a second grader should not be able to make such decisions. This child is only seven or eight years old. At that age I wasn't even matching my own socks yet. I cannot believe that this child's parent are ok with this. Do not get me wrong I have nothing against a male wanting to be female or vice versa but this is a life changing thing. A decision that a second grader is not able to make at his age. I think the school is only giving a go ahead on this because they are scared of getting sued for discrimination. If the child still wants to be this way when he hits his teenage years than yeah it would than be time to sit down and take it all into consideration.

I think that a 2nd grader who wants to change his gender is ok, but the school supporting him? What if when he reaches the age when he can think straight and he wants to change his gender again? Is it that easy to change gender? I think this child's parents and school should explain and let the child understand that we should be contented on what we are and what we have.
