    Boy to Enter Kindergarten as Girl

    LiNK: http://www.wtop.com/?nid=456&sid=845811

    FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Jul 10, 2006 (UPI via COMTEX) -- A 5-year-old boy who has been diagnosed with gender dysphoria will enter the school system in a Florida county as a girl.

    The boy's parents, medical experts and school officials in Broward County, Fla., have decided that it is in his interests to live as a girl, the Miami Herald reported. When he enters kindergarten, the child will use a neutral name and wear neutral clothing. He will use unisex bathroom facilities.

    ''In addition to behaving like the opposite sex, a person with gender dysphoria naturally relates to the opposite sex,'' said Marilyn Volker, a Miami expert on gender identity. "They also have a persistent and recurring discomfort with their own external body parts and genitalia because it does not match their internal gender identity. Simply said, they were born into the wrong body.''

    The boy reportedly insists on dressing in girl's clothes and says that he hates his male body.

    Boy to Enter Kindergarten as Girl

    I wonder how they can determine for sure that he thinks he should be a girl...I mean, at that age I wanted to play with trucks and stuff too. Not just dolls. I think pretty much every kid goes through an "I don't want to be me" phase.

    It's odd that they'd go through with this sort of thing.

    Transgender identity is far more than that.&nbsp; Some people know that they are in the 'wrong' body all of their lives.&nbsp; I think its encouraging that they are agreeable to this in Florida.&nbsp; Up until recently, they have had to beat this kid into gender submission.&nbsp; Surely some people still feel this way, but there are far worse things than having a gender dismorphic, or gay kid.&nbsp; Although, someone else said Jr. High will be tough, and that could be true.

    One thing to consider is that gender neutrality has been proven to be confusing and uncomfortable to others.&nbsp; It won't necessarily be the small kids in kindergarten, but their parents that will make comments or act bizarrely.&nbsp; Okay, all that said, bring on the ignorance....

    Yeah I feel bad for people battling with this.&nbsp; It's so sad to see the older people who have just now had the courage come out and decided to switch genders, when they have been fighting with it their whole life.&nbsp; It's good to see that there are some decent and understanding parents out there so that this child can start school as they feel they should. I saw a show on Oprah on this where a 6-year old girl was being raised as a boy (as he wished) and had switch his name and everything - his parents were awesome.&nbsp; Fascinating stuff to me...

    I wish I had seen this Oprah show, too.&nbsp; I'm pretty fascinated by it, myself.&nbsp; I don't know, people are so hung up on gender socialization.&nbsp; I teach undergrads and some of the things that they say are unbelievable.&nbsp; Some believe that boys shouldn't play with dolls, others believe that women should never be president.&nbsp; I feel sometimes like I live in bizarro world! :roll:

    Good for you, Swilla.&nbsp; I'd do the same.&nbsp; Its got to be hard enough to face discrimination from the rest of society when you are gay, without your entire family turning their back on you.&nbsp; I love how the biggest culprits are those that discriminate in the name of god.&nbsp; WWJD?&nbsp; Certainly not go gay-bashing!!

    Re: Boy to Enter Kindergarten as Girl

    I don't feel like I'm any particular gender. Seriously. I don't consider myself inherently male or female. It can actually be kind of uncomfortable at times... it's difficult to explain.

    I like to just simplify and summarise it by saying I'm a gay man trapped in a woman's body.

    Not feeling male or female has to do with gender identity, which is not sexual identity.&nbsp; Being attracted to men and women makes one bisexual.
