I have to wonder if the child isn't one of those individuals who is born with both sexes sexual organs...can't remember what it's called and don't have the time right now to search.
Whatever the reason....I think it's sad.
This child has obviously been very unhappy for his parents and doctors to even consider this...and now to go to school under these circumstances. There are very strict guidelines to be followed for sexual orientation change ...at least here in America. Don't know about Great Britain, but I would think they would be similar. The only place that I know the guidelines are very lax is in the Far East...
The situation will give new meaning to bullying....God only knows what this whole situation will do to this child's psyche.
So very sad.....
