Quote:13 year old transgender boy being pumped full of estrogen by his parents.

That poor child. Rather than being treated and provided a normal,  healthy life, he is being abused and manipulated by his parents into believing he is a girl. Now they are totally disrupting his growth pattern by injecting him with estrogen. He can kiss his sanity goodbye and be welcomed into a world where he will more than likely experience prostitution, depression, suicide, disease, and self-mutilation (statistically speaking, of course).

 

I will never understand how this is not child abuse. But hey, at least the parents get some popularity for a little while and whatever duplicitous psychologist/doctor they have diagnosing the boy gets a fat check.

A 13-year-old? Someone who's still in the early stages of puberty?

 

Even I have an issue with that. I strongly question whether a 13-year-old mind is developed enough to get to that point. By all means, allow the 13-year-old to be who they are, dress how they like and do what they want, but pumping them full of hormones at that age? I hate to use the term "just a phase" because of how dismissive it is of legitimate feelings and decisions, but...what if this is actually "just a phase"? What happens if this child turns 15 and realizes that he actually is a boy? He's now a developmentally-altered boy who's loaded with female hormones. That's a huge risk to take with someone that young.
