For those of you who listened to the broadcast yesterday, you heard for yourself the shock that parents had in responding to this story from Miami Dade Florida.
The school district there has decided that the 5 year old boy that the story refers to as "Pat" should wear dresses to school because he has supposedly been diagnosed with the supposed condition called "gender dysphoria."
According to the story this child supposedly determined at age 3 that he "hated his penis, identified more with his mother, and began refusing to wear boys clothes."
At age 3?!?!?!?!
I don't know about you but I think most children have hard time telling the difference between their penis and their thumb at age three. Much less do they know anything that's different between them and their mommy or their sisters.
Sorry - but I don't buy the diagnosis, neither did my listeners - listen to the podcast.
But to the substance...
1. Any child may cling more to their Mother when they are this young in life. Mothers are the nurturing parent - even their bodies indicate it. If the child was 15 and still wanting to cling to Mommy - then you have a problem, but distinguishing between a normal child who "identifies" with their mommy as opposed to their daddy and the child in this story is nearly impossible - especially at age 3.
2. Any child aged 3-5 that "refuses to wear boys clothes..." has only one problem - the fact that some parent decided to go AWOL and let the kid start making decisions for himself that he is not prepared to make.
3. And to hating his penis... utterly ridiculous.
It's my firm belief that not all is as it appears in the story. And discerning people need to ask the penetrating questions of the actors involved. This garbage looks much more like an agenda driven group of people - attempting to push the boundaries and make the rest of us accept it.
And I for one - don't!
