Depends on how old the boy is maybe they waiting till hes old enough to let him/her decide quite a few children are born into the wrong sex and parents decide and its the wrong decision.

Are these the canadians?

i think its bollocks,gender is a complex group of things including state of mind, trying to feck with it has led to awful things before.

The name escapes me but there was a poor boy in the 60's who lost his penis as the result of infant circumcision. The big theory at the time was that gender roles were imposed by society and that he should be brought up as a girl, with gender reconstruction surgery as a teen.

His autobiography is heartbreaking as the doctors and his parents tried to mold him into being something he wasnt.

Children are not experiments. i hope the child in this case isnt similarly affected.

fecking behavioralists have a lot to answer for.

Bristol East

I was born male and my parents brought me up as a stereotypical boy.

When I was about 7, they discovered I had been messing about in my mum's clothes.

My father gave me a stern talking to. He insisted I was a boy. I was made to feel shameful and guilty. If I didn't stop, he'd make sure my friends all knew I was a poof.

I resented my father after that. Our relationship was rubbish for the rest of his life.

There was no attempt to understand or help what was happening to me. I was expected to conform to their stereotype of a boy.

It did nothing to change the way I felt - it simply drove those feelings of gender dysphoria deeper underground, that they were something to be ashamed of.

When my father died a few years, it felt like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I no longer felt that burden of shame. I've flourished since.

Re the couple in the Daily Mirror, I'm not sure I'd agree with the lengths they've gone to.

The child needs to grow up naturally, to develop into the person they were destined by nature to be. The parents need to respect that. If the child shows signs, naturally, of gender dysphoria - or indeed any other condition - they should be there to help.

OMG just read the article and they are from down the road to us!

Well you learn new things every day...

I don't think they are doing anything wrong not teaching their child to be gender stereotyped but i do think that when he is in school (esp after people read that article) he will suffer from bullying which will have an adverse effect on him.

- Think "About a boy" and the stigma that he went through because his mum was a bit of a hippy. he was a well rounded child,, however the bullying definitely had an effect on him..
