I hope you're right and that this is what has happened with this child. I am not convinced it is though.

Yes—let's believe Wikipedia.

Is it really so hard to comprehend? You've just said that the motivating factor for asserting that the child is a boy rather than leaving it totally fluid and up to the child is the fact other people might treat the child differently based on how it appears.

And if that doesn't inadvertently lead to much more confusion, it'll be a good thing.

Just because the author has explained what they believe to be the ideal transition doesn't mean they've explained anything. Nothing in this article was anything except the author's opinion, it certainly wasn't sourced. This is fine, but don't tell me that I've been educated when all I've done is hear someone's…

I believe Wonder Womaahn is referring to the labelling of the child as "transgendered" long before any real concept of what gender is or how it applies to them can exist in the child's mind.

Exactly.

Didn't you hear? The person with cerebral palsy was such a massive asshole that their disorder wasn't a sufficient mitigating factor.

I don't think the parents are picking anything much. They are taking the cues from what the kid likes and wants - hence the differences you see in how he looks throughout the video

Get real, you're seriously going to argue it should be "shaving theory"?

OK, yes, technically titanium dioxide isn't a metal in the same way rust particles aren't a metal,

I hate to break it to you, but everyone's reply was on-topic.

Fuck off Joe the Plumber.

Funnily enough, I am totally behind rises in fast food workers pay, and yet if you can be replaced by a robot I am also totally behind replacing you.

You can make any human believe it - you just have to make it a part of the culture they grew up in (and religion helps with that).

No they couldn't. Not a single one of the many, many countries that have legalized gay marriage has experienced any "exaggeration" of the law. 100% of the time it has been "gay people can now get married" and that was the last anyone ever heard of the issue.

This is precisely how I feel. This entire topic is about misidentifying psychopaths as being the victims of some vague social influence.

Uhh, you had a friend who almost got a kid killed in traffic?

I've experienced this too, my family has kept many dogs and I've always had an affinity for training them, and I've tried other people's dogs too. The overwhelming majority can be trained (and all in remarkably similar ways), but then you get one dog that just seems inherently bad tempered and nothing can make it give…

Dogs are highly socialized for interaction with humans - they treat humans differently to other dogs and animals, and they should have a special regard for them.
