Title: Controversial Therapy for Pre-Teen Transgender Patient Raises Questions

A lesbian couple in California who say their 11-year-old son Tommy who wants to be a girl named Tammy are giving their child hormone blockers that delay the onset of puberty -- so that he can have more time that he can have more time to decide if he wants to change his gender.

The couple’s supporters say the Hormone Blocking Therapy has only minor side effects and is appropriate for a child who is unsure of his gender. "This is definitely a changing landscape for transgender youth," said Joel Baum, director of education and training for Gender Spectrum, a California-based non-profit group. "This is about giving kids and their families the opportunity to make the right decision."

But critics of the treatment say 11-year-olds are not old enough to make life-altering decisions about changing their gender, and parents should not be encouraging them. They say it’s too soon to tell what the side effects of the treatments may be, and they say Tommy’s parents, Pauline Moreno and Debra Lobel, are irresponsible for seeking them and allowing them to be administered.

"This is child abuse. It's like performing liposuction on an anorexic child," said Dr. Paul McHugh, professor of psychiatry at Johns Hopkins University.
"It is a disorder of the mind. Not a disorder of the body. Dealing with it in this way is not dealing with the problem that truly exists.

Just another reason why gay and lesbian couples should not be allowed to have children.

Good God.
  :mental:   :bs:   :thatsright:

Tommy isn't old enough to make any kind of decision regarding his gender. And his "parents" aren't necessarily without bias in this situation.

Let the kid's 'nads drop, get laid a couple of times (later, of course) and THEN decide if he's really a girl.

Freakin' lezzies need to leave well enough alone.

OMG....stupid lezzies. Leave the boy alone until he's 14/15 then throw him on a naked girl, if he comes up smiling, he's normal. If he doesn't, shoot the lezzies for screwing him up.

This should not even be an issue.  The 'parents' should be jailed for child abuse.  He's 11 years old for God's sake!  How is giving him unnecessary drugs that could alter his physiology doing him any favors?  It's insanely criminal.

Turkey basters and the queers that fill should be outlawed...then only outlaws will have filled turkey basters.

I was told that gays would not have any effect on the rasing of children.

These two nutcases claim the boy signed "I am a girl" when he was three years old, so he really wants to be one.   :bs:  They've been telling the poor kid that since the day they adopted him.  This would qualify as abuse here.

This story likely would not get half the attention it has in the media if he didn't have gay parents. Makes the story all that much better.

I don't agree with it, but personally I also don't care.

How many gays do you think would do this? Really? This is just a good example of two stupid people, nothing more.

Much like the straight parents who refused to tell people what gender their child was for some reason or another.

This is child abuse, plain and simple.

Well, in terms of commenting on a political discussion board and offering my condemnation of practices such as this (on behalf of the kid, who really is a victim of this chicanery), I don't much care either.

Except for the outrageous bullshit that continues to infest the rest of normal society from gays and their agenda. I DO care about that, only because their insistence that normal society accept their perverted, warped, sick and twisted lifestyle simply does not square with me.

And now they're taking an innocent kid and trying to convince him he's a ****ing freak.

So, what're we doing now, compaq? Taking a poll? Pulling data together? Analyzing the ****ing relative standard deviation of the data set?

That's just as sick and twisted as the rugmunchers.

Tell you what, compaq. You go ahead and have a kid. Raise him or her, and then you come back to this site and say "I don't care" when some freak show rugmunchers decide they want to turn their kid into something other than what the kid was born with. Let's hear you say "I don't care" then. Until then, you're just flapping your gums, pal.  :whatever:

Oh, bitchslapped for making an idiotic comment like "I don't care."
