What's wrong with these people? Anyone who supports this needs to be culled, pronto.
Quote:
4-YEAR-OLD APPROVED FOR SEX CHANGE, GENDER REASSIGNMENT OPERATION TO BE CONDUCTED IN AUSTRALIA
SEPTEMBER 3, 2016 Essel Pratt The Department of Education in New South Wales has vowed to support a 4-year-old’s decision to undergo a sex change operation. The child is expected to finish the gender reassignment surgery prior to starting kindergarten next year and will travel to Australia to complete the procedure.
Although the child has the full support of the Department of Education, many are concerned that the child is not mature enough to make the decision at such a young age. Psychologists warn that the child is still in the crucial stages of development and that forcing a change in gender may cause unknown harm, both physically and mentally, according to Metro. Transgender advocates have also voiced concern that the child is far too young to make such a life-changing decision.
Catherine McGregor, one such advocate, wonders why the young child is receiving official policy support from the Department of Education. She feels that the child usually knows best in this type of situation but also warns of caution since the procedure is irreversible.
“I would have thought four is pretty young for any official policy support.”
The New South Wales Department of Education is an advocate for the sex change, claiming that the safe schools initiative aims to help transgender children feel safe and comfortable in the school systems, according to the Daily Mail. Greg Prior, the secretary of school operations, claims that there are a small handful of children that are in the midst of transitioning. However, he states that the 4-year-old is the youngest of the bunch.
Due to privacy issues, the birth sex of the child has not been revealed.
A gender dysphoria unit in the Westmead Children’s Hospital in Syndey, Australia, is taking on the case and will assist the child during the transition. They have claimed that the number of children who have been referred to their gender service department has tripled recently. Nearly 250 children have appointments at this time, the youngest being 3. Only 10 years ago, there was only one child on their books.
Child Psychologist Michael Carr-Gregg states that the child typically understands his or her own feelings better than the adults that surround him or her and claims that the child knows the difference between dressing as the opposite sex or actually feeling like he or she is the opposite sex.
“There is a huge difference between dress-ups and a child believing with every fibre of their being they are in the wrong body.”
Many have responded to the child’s decision to undergo a sex change by claiming 4-year-olds are simply too young to make such a decision. Many are comfortable with the child dressing in opposite gender labeled clothing yet feel such a drastic decision should wait until the child is much older or until he or she has a better understanding of how the procedure works and the implications of undergoing the surgery, such as the inability to have children.
An unnamed individual from the United Kingdom believes the minimum age to make such a decision should be 16, allowing time to understand the consequences of transitioning to the opposite sex.
“Kids that are far too young to have thought through the consequences are being allowed to make life changing decisions. Personally I would suggest a minimum age of sixteen.” Bethany Powell, a transgender individual, is not in agreement that the child should undergo the sex change operation, claiming that gender is not clear to such a young child. She wonders if the child may even grow out of the phase. As a transgender herself, she is an advocate for gender reassignment surgery. However, a 4-year-old is too young to be fully aware of his or her body, she states.
“At four years old gender isn’t very clear for them and may even be something they will grow out of, getting Gender Reassignment Surgery at such a young age may not be the best idea-especially if it turns out they now feel more comfortable as their birth gender.” What are your thoughts? Is 4-years-old too young?

i remember when one of my sisters was around 4-5 she went through a period of saying she wishes she was a boy, she got over it in a few months and went onto live as a happy, healthy, girly-girl. her life wouldve taken a really odd turn if she stapled dicks to her tits at 4 years

Yeah, I think a lot of people go through a phase like that.
Especially if they're raised predominantly by that same gender they feel they're more in touch with.

The kid is way the fuck to young to make a decision like that. It's child abuse at that point. Fuck the doctor that agreed to do it, fuck the parents for being retarded, fuck Australia's department of education for being idiotic, and fuck everyone else for letting it get this far.

I don't get why they keep mentioning the "support" of the department of education. What the fuck does it matter what they think about it?
Also, is this definitely a real news story and not one of those fake troll ones?

If they outlaw cigarettes at age 18(or 21 in the case of California) In the same country that doesn't allow gay marriage

I think the article says Austrailia and not the United States. The US wouls never let that happen.
Also, - I didnt know the law was you had to be 21 to buy ciggs in California? I thought that was just liquor...

Nope they just changed it here in California.Doesn't affect me much as I'm 22 and really don't smoke often . Australia is the country without gay marriage I was referring too.

They also banned all online sales of the nicotine vape liquids . My best friend is pissed
Also apparently the "mod builders" aren't allowed to build someone a mod in the shop,effectively firing every builder in California.
