Kids are weird. They want all sorts of things that may not be good for them, and a parent’s job is to attempt to mitigate the nutty behavior, especially when it can cause real big problems, not to help propagate that behavior. If a child likes stealing candy bars from the convenience store, it would be utterly irresponsible for the parent to tolerate this, right? Yet, there are plenty who help kids who have loopy thoughts on gender
(Daily Caller) A 12-year-old Australian transgender boy, who transitioned into a girl two years ago, is featured in an upcoming episode of Australian “60 Minutes†– where he reveals that he no longer wants to be a girl.
After doctors diagnosed Patrick Mitchell with gender dysphoria he begged his mother to let him take female replacement hormones, The Independent reported.
Gender dysphoria is considered by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) to be a “mental disorder,†while the World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes it as a “mental illness.â€
He received support from his mom, who allowed him to take hormone therapy, and began to grow breasts
“In the beginning of 2017, teachers at school began to refer to him as a girl which triggered Mitchell to question if he had made the right decision,†the independent added.
After reflecting on the decision to become a girl, Mitchell decided that he no longer wanted to be a girl.
“I began to realize I was actually comfortable in my body. Every day I just felt better,†Mitchell said.
Now he will need surgery to remove the breasts. This is a lesson that parents should take charge and realize that a child is not competent to make this kind of decision, nor go through with this kind of insanity. If the child wants to do this to themselves when they become an adult, fine, that’s their mental disorder.
