What are you supposed to say when the parents ask you about the basis of your concerns? That he is friends with girls? That he pretended a curtain was a skirt? That you masturbate every night to pictures of chicks-with-dicks on a porn forum?
Fuck off you nosy weirdo and let a kid be a kid. No one needs the school janitor to help turn their son into the next Kim Petras.
Is he six and you just wish he wanted to be a little boy who wants to be a ts because you are a sick pedophile?
And there goes all the care....
i think we have a newspaper story here.
5-7 yrs i predict you will be put away for!!

Wow- let's give the guy the benefit of the doubt and assume he's got good intentions at heart & isn't a pedophile.
Unfortunately there is no good diagnostic scheme for transsexualism, and making a diagnosis is even harder when you're dealing with little kids. The way this is usually explained is, most (if not all) trans people showed signs when they were little, but not everyone who shows what could be construed as a "warning sign" at that age ends up being trans. Some little kids just like playing dress up, or playing with girls toys, or whatever else that might confuse people.Quote:

And for all I know he was only interested in what he playing with during that short time period because of what he saw me playing with.
So what do you do about it? The short & easy answer is nothing. If it is just a phase, the kid will stop it on its own after a while, so coercing the child to assimilate to gender roles would just unnecessarily cause the kid grief.
I'll use an example; when I was in kindergarten my teacher was so horrified at what toys I played with, and which classmates I was friends with, that she refused to let me have "play time" (which, as we all know- makes up most of the school day for kindergarteners). So what did she do? She made me sit alone, at a desk, doing additional school work. Eventually my mom found out about it, and the teacher was so militantly defensive in her idea of how she should be teaching that I ended up having to be bused to another district just to get the hell away from the crazy bitch. I ended up spending that grade in three different schools, the last of which was over an hour away which meant I had to wake up at 5am just to get on the bus the first district was paying to drive me, just me- to another district. Don't be that teacher! Stuff like that just makes kids targets for bullies, its rough on the kids, and it accomplishes nothing.
There's really not much that could be done, if the other kids start bullying him. The school should intervene as it should with any other bullying scenario. But, imho those types of anti-bullying measures are rarely successful, once bullies have labeled a kid as a target there is no way to completely stop it- kids are smart enough to know when to hurt another kid without getting caught, when to say something mean when no one can hear it, etc.
Telling the parents would be an emergency intervention measure- this should only be done if the situation merits it.Quote:
And should I tell his parents about my thougts?
One of the "textbook" symptoms of transsexualism in kids is self injury, especially genital self injury. If the kid tries to give itself a smoothy using sharp objects- then that would be more then enough reason to set up a parent-teacher meeting to talk about it before the kid inflicts self harm. But this should really be a no brainer, if any kid comes out of a bathroom dripping blood everywhere they should be sent to the nurses office.
Prematurely running to the parents could be dangerous. If they're close minded religious zealouts you could be putting the kid in danger. The last thing you want is some bigoted parent going "Omg not my son!" and start thinking violence would "beat it out of him."
As far as medical treatments go the big issue is puberty which won't be for at least another ~6 years.Quote:
I think it is better to start now when he is a kid, because of the abuse many transsexual teenagers get?
Even then, the medical establishments in the US really loathe the idea of doing anything to treat trans patients younger than 16. At most they'll put the kid in therapy, but it would be unrealistic to expect anything tangible beyond that. This isn't northern Europe where they'd be willing to try delaying puberty until the kid is in its late teens.
Even at 16, unless the case is 1- very severe, 2- has full support of the parents, nothing will be done about it in the United States using the medical establishments. The SoC allows treating patients starting at 16, but they just don't like to do it. And if the parents aren't 100% on board? Expect the kid to have to wait until 18 if doing things the SoC way.
My thoughts exactly considering his screen name!Quote:

Many kids especially boys, experiment with nail polish, dress up, dolls, etc. and they grow up straight as an arrow. It's normal and doesn't mean a thing. Would you be this alarmed if it were a girl who put on a pair of boots and a fake mustache and said, "I'm a boy"?? You're not the child's parent let "them" parent. Funny, some people think male cheerleaders are "gay" LOL! What a great job for a guy; looking up girl's skirts all day.
Have a great day
anybody wanna guess how many of the critics are projecting?
