    Anyone else believe that this wrong.

    Social workers from North Lanarkshire in Scotland where the Rogerses live have reportedly checked in on the family after an anonymous complaint from a neighbor, but determined that there were no signs of abuse.


    Seems fair enough.

    So called parents are attention seekers. Using poor child to get publicity.

    What’s the big deal. I knew I wanted to wear trousers when I was that age. Who would have had the right to tell me to wear a dress based on what biology happened in my mother’s womb.

    Poor little kid should be taken off them before they do anymore damage. Years he won't get back. Don't believe them when they say they haven't encouraged it. Kids are sponges.

    I think transitioning is a bit more than wearing a dress or trousers.

    Just to play devil's advocate...

    So if a five year old wants to start smoking and drinking we should let them?

    We should let a 5 year old be sexually active if they decide to be?

    I don’t know. I think people should just be allowed be happy no matter what age they are.

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6585395/Britains-transgender-family-dad-born-female-little-girl-began-life-boy.html

    Original article.

    Local Community supports them. Social services checked in on them and everyone seems well and happy. Teachers, school and people who know them all find things to be well and happy.

    No problem here OP.

    Its just clothes and cultural stuff for now, in many years, they may transition physically but who knows.

    A close transgender friend of mine knew from a similar age they were not in a body that felt what it should feel like. It happens, no different than any other form of stuff we learn about ourselves. We just have hugely focused attention and media on it now.

    The child isn’t drink or smoking or having sex. Just dressing different to most people with those genitals

    The first has degenerative and cancer causing results, the drink damages their liver and would wreck their emotional growth and inhibit their ability to learn.

    The second would place a young child in a terribly dangerous situation if its with adults. From a young age into teenage life, parents do let their children explore sexually in what they consider age appropriate ways. From self touching to playing doctor like most of us did.

    The context and outcome arent comparable.

    Actually I clicked on the article and it seems fairly restrained. Op and Blaze article he linked article are a little but more imaginative summarizing source material.

    Is he just wearing dresses and dolls and stuff or is he being operated on?

    The two things are very different.

    First. Someone decided to call social services suspecting abuse because they saw the child playing dressed in girls clothing.

    He is just being used by the media to sell papers by sexing up a story involving people who arnt what the new story portrays.

    Shame on them is what I say. Shame on the people who know the story has been sexed up but want to believe it to suit their agenda. Shame on anybody who sits there stewing about anything that doesn’t hurt anybody while we have things to worry about like genocide, starvation religious sexual abuse and all sorts of things to be outraged against.
    A kids parents get asked some leading questions by a bigger newspaper after being in a smaller paper and everybody shows their true colours.
