OH MY GOD PLEASE DON'T BLOCK ME OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!11

Salvanas said pretty much the exact same thing I did. He also said they only time it's somewhat acceptable is if you have deformed organs, which is obviously not the individuals fault. Which I completely agree with.

Grow up, kid.

It is their fault. They're gay. Bottom line, there's nothing else to it. It's not a mental issue, not a disease, not a self-conscious issue, they're gay. Stop trying to make it difficult.

They want to change because they're gay. And they have a reason to be gay. Usually along the lines of wanting to stand out, or just be different from society, or just to be rebellious. There is no "gay disease" that makes people gay when they're born. That's not how life works, face reality.
Sorry WHAT? No, that's not true at all! There might be a trend at the moment that bisexuality and homosexuality is an 'in' thing, but many homosexuals aren't identifying as such just to rebel or stand out. In fact a lot of homosexuals make a great effort to blend in, refute the stereotype and prefer NOT stand out in any way.

And whilst i'll agree it's certainly not a 'disease', homosexuality is and has been proven to be underlined by certain biological phenomena; for some it's not 'just a decision' and transgender DOES NOT equate to homosexual either. Some, even post op, still prefer or remain attracted to the chromosome opposite gender. What could be called 'Male lesbianism', for example.

Frankly it's ridiculous to dismiss the idea of gender identity disorders, or try and parcel them as 'gay'. Homosexuals don't wake every morning feeling that they are one thing, only to be repeatedly confronted with a body and a society that screams the complete opposite. Homosexual men don't identify as female and Lesbian women don't identify as male. It's a completely separate issue.

It's also ridiculous to try and separate mental and physical; the majority of mental disorders have some degree of underlying physiological anomaly, even socially triggered disorders. Moreover, any so-called aberration of the body, even something as straightforward as a broken leg, affects the mind to some degree. It works the other way around as well; good health leads to a positive outlook. Disease and mind (and by association self-consciousness) are all highly inter-related. Any doctor or psychologist would tell you that.

His body is not producing male hormones to a level anywhere close to normal. We have been told that there is a pretty fair chance that he will not be a "boy" - and already he`s literally worlds away in behavior. What that means in the long run, well, we won`t know until we get there. But if he is certain he is a girl for pretty much his whole life, I would have no qualms about letting him have a sex change at 16.
I'm confused. How can he be genetically male, with no male organs?
I just wish to understand.

As for the topic of this thread. I think 16 is too young, biologically, as typically the body isn't done developing yet.

The same way transgender men can be genetically male without male genitalia. Basically there's three kinds of gender- genetic gender (your chromosomes, XX or XY, unless you're one of those rarities with a double chromosome or a missing/ partially missing chromosome), a mental gender which is usually just referred to as 'gender' and means what You feel you are on the inside, and biological gender or 'sex' which is what your body shows in terms of genitalia and secondary sexual characteristics (things that begin during puberty like beards, boobs, etc). So you can have female chromosomes but a male body, for example (and does happen), or in this case, a male chromosome but an androgynous/indistinct sex.

I know they do.... but I think to be biologically anything, don't you need to have the body parts, or is the only necessary thing the hormones?

What sex person you're into has nothing to do with what sex you feel you are.

Thank you for explaining this to me. I still don't understand though. I'm sorry.
