Boy, 8, has 'sex change'

Josie was diagnosed as transgender at the age of six.

Her sex has been legally changed and she will undergo surgery and drug treatment to help her grow up as a woman.

Her family, from Arizona, tell their story as part of a new Channel 4 Bodyshock documentary to be shown next week.

Her mother Venessia, 42, said: "As a toddler she wrapped up her army figures and rocked them like a baby.

"As she started to talk, she'd say, 'I'm a girl'. We used to correct her and say, 'No you're a boy'.

"By the time she was four she was insisting, 'No, I really am a girl'."

Her father Joseph, an engineer in the United States Air Force, said: "I had mourned the loss of my son. When I came to terms with it, I knew I had gained a daughter."

The girl has been educated at home in Arizona after the family suffered taunts outside the military base school overseas.

Josie will be given drugs to prevent male adolescence and, at 12, get female hormones. ...

They can give sex changes to pre-pubescent children, but can't feed cancer patients.

It makes me sad....

You really have to wonder what the rest of the story is...there has to be more, but I guess they figure if they tell all...no one will watch the show.


...it makes me sad that someone would want to put this child on a tv show.....

Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

Save the Earth... it's the only planet with chocolate.

"My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far I've finished two bags of M&M's and a chocolate cake. I feel better already." – Dave Barry

A balanced diet is chocolate in both hands.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

No, "he' is not a girl. If you have to take steps to prevent male puberty from happening and inject him full of estrogen and lop off his boy parts: he is not a girl. Why is this so much easier for people to 'accept' then the fact that their child might be mentally ill? geez!

I wonder if the baby was born a hermaphrodite and they picked the wrong sex?  I know that happens.  If that isn't the case then the parents need shot for surgically mutilating their child.
