I'm so confused with all this transsexual stuff. Can we go back to simpler times when men were men, women were women, and everyone's brains were in their right bodies? :p

Some incredibly ignorant and shockingly heartless comments in this thread. It's no wonder I don't show my face around this place much anymore. >_>
 
Accurate comment.

Nothing heartless. The boy needs caring psychiatric help. Not encouragement deeper into mental illness. If you listen to the video it sounds like they have done this to another one of there children. Remove that kid pronto!

It's people like you who make me sad for humanity. I pity you, TL, and the rest of the ignorant jerks who think they know someone without having ever met them and/or spent an minute of time with them. You are not that little girl. You are not that girl's family, so you have absolutely no basis for your disgusting and ignorant remarks. Even if technically she is male-bodied, who are you to say she can't dress in girl's clothing and think or feel or behave like a girl? The world is full of different people from different walks of life and with different experiences, different chemistry in their brain, etc. You need to find some way to have compassion in a world that is constantly bullying people for not understanding them. I'd urge you to try and think outside your tiny, ignorant and isolated box, but I know you're completely incapable of that.

I just need you to know I think you're a horrible and disgusting person and I'm glad I don't have to share the same space as you.

I was having the same thought thinking this kind of thing is normal or and healthy.

I pity you, TL,

Pity the boy and the parents he has.

and the rest of the ignorant jerks who think they know someone without having ever met them and/or spent an minute of time with them.

Do not need to meet someone who obviously has mental issues and needs real professional help.

You are not that little girl.

He is a boy!

You are not that girl's family, so you have absolutely no basis for your disgusting and ignorant remarks.

I am not part of Jeffery Dommers family or do I know any of them. But we do know obviously he was a sick individual. It is just a comparison do not think I comparing the two as similar people before someone gets there panties in a bunch.

Even if technically she is male-bodied,

It is not technically. LOL! He is a he and no amount of feeling and mutilating ones body will ever change that he is a male. The boy needs therapy and this sick thinking that should be excepted as normal is awful.

who are you to say she can't dress in girl's clothing and think or feel or behave like a girl?

Because it is not healthy for a developing boy who is a boy and not a girl.

The world is full of different people from different walks of life and with different experiences, different chemistry in their brain, etc.

Yes they have medication for those kinds of people who need help.

You need to find some way to have compassion in a world that is constantly bullying people for not understanding them. I'd urge you to try and think outside your tiny, ignorant and isolated box, but I know you're completely incapable of that.

The compassion is to help this boy and not encourage a mental illness that will lead in the future of him mutilating his body by removing parts from it.

I just need you to know I think you're a horrible and disgusting person and I'm glad I don't have to share the same space as you.

So be it if this is now considered healthy and normal.

This is considered a mental disorder rightfully so but removing genitals to pronounce a persons new sex is AOK! People just have no common sense.

Bizarre - People Who Want
Healthy Arms And Legs Removed


At any given moment, a small number of Americans are searching for a surgeon willing to cut off their perfectly healthy limbs.

These men and women suffer from apotemnophilia, one of the most bizarre disorders in the annals of psychology, and they want to undergo amputations in order to "feel whole."

"You have this foreign body and you want to get rid of it," said one man who found a doctor in Scotland willing to remove his right leg.

But should such surgery even be allowed?

"It just flies in the face of everything that medicine holds dear," said Stacy Running, a San Diego assistant district attorney who successfully brought murder charges against an unlicensed surgeon who botched a leg amputation on an 80-year-old man with the disease three years ago and let the man die of gangrene.

Added Arthur Caplan, director of the University of Pennsylvania's Center for Bioethics, "It seems indisputably ga-ga nuts to sit and reasonably talk back and forth about whether this should be done and where we are going to do it."

Though some recent high-profile cases have captured the media's attention, apotemnophilia is not a new disorder.

Medical experts have reported cases of amputation obsession since the 1860s, said Richard Bruno, a New Jersey psychophysiologist who specializes in brain-body disorders and is one of the few people in the world who have extensively studied apotemnophilia.

No one knows how many people are obsessed with amputation. However, there are Web sites devoted to the subject. One is named after the Venus de Milo statue.

Bruno has identified three groups within the larger community of people obsessed with amputation:

"Pretenders" use wheelchairs, crutches and other devices to make people think they are disabled.

"Devotees" are sexually attracted to people with amputations and disabled people, and will often search for them on the Internet.

"Wannabes," who get the most attention, live for the removal of their healthy limbs.

Usually, people with the disorder are men and they want one leg or both cut off, Bruno said. However, there are also female sufferers. They include Corinne, a California woman who refused to give her real name. She wants her legs removed.

"For me, sexuality is being comfortable with my body," she said. "Inside, I feel my legs don't belong to me and shouldn't be there. There's just an overwhelming sense of despair sometimes.

The cause of apotemnophilia isn't clear. John Money, a psychologist and sexuality expert at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, gave the disorder its name in 1977 and declared that people with the disorder have a sexual fetish centered on amputated limbs.

Apotemnophilia has also been linked to obsessive-compulsive disorder and homosexuality.

Some people with apotemnophilia say their obsession has nothing to do with sex; they say it's a body-image disorder that can be cured only through amputation.

Taking a different tack, Bruno suggests that people with the disorder desperately seek attention and love from others.

"What these people really want is to be accepted," he said. "They feel they are unlovable and want to be loved."

Speculation dismissed

But many people obsessed with amputation heatedly dismiss Bruno's theory.

Gregg Furth, a New York City child psychologist who suffers from apotemnophilia, said the disorder revolves around feeling like a complete person.

"It's about becoming whole, not becoming disabled," he said, adding that people with the obsession "feel there's an alien aspect of their body."

Furth told a San Diego courtroom in 1999 that he first began obsessing about amputation when he was 4 or 5 years old. He's now in his mid-50s

His search for a cure -- amputation -- ultimately led him to John Ronald Brown, an underground doctor in San Diego. The 77-year-old Brown lacked a license to practice medicine.

Furth and an 80-year-old friend, Philip Bondy, who also had apotemnophilia, traveled from New York to San Diego in 1998, both hoping to have Brown perform their amputations in Tijuana, Mexico. But Furth backed out.

Bondy went ahead and had his left leg removed. Brown left him to recover in a Holiday Inn across the border in a San Diego suburb, where he died a few days later of gangrene.

A jury convicted Brown of second-degree murder

Furth resurfaced in the news last year when he found a doctor in Scotland who was willing to amputate his right leg. The doctor had previously amputated the limbs of two other people with apotemnophilia.

But the Scottish news media picked up on the plan, and the hospital where the operation was to take place quickly banned it.

Caplan, one of the top medical ethicists in the United States, said apotemnophilia is clearly a medical disorder, and can't be cured by giving in to the disease.

"It's like saying I'm a schizophrenic and I hear voices, so I want the doctors to communicate with my demons to exorcise them," he said.

Bruno said people with apotemnophilia often live hellish lives.

"I feel terrible for them," Bruno said. "There are just far more questions than answers about the disorder, and unfortunately, many of these questions may be unanswerable. We may never know why these guys want what they want."

Another set of parents who should be in prison for not treating but encouraging this sickness.
The Cleveland Clinic would like to have a word with you, sir....

“The male and female brain have structural differences,” he says. Men and women tend to have different volumes in certain areas of the brain. “When we look at the transgender brain, we see that the brain resembles the gender that the person identifies as,” Dr. Altinay says. For example, a person who is born with a penis but ends up identifying as a female often actually has some of the structural characteristics of a “female” brain.

And the brain similarities aren’t only structural. “We’re also finding some functional similarities between the transgender brain and its identified gender,” Dr. Altinay says.

In studies that use MRIs to take images of the brain as people perform tasks, the brain activity of transgender people tends to look like that of the gender they identify with. “Research in these areas is extremely limited, and more research needs to be done to find conclusive results,” Dr. Altinay notes. “But we’re already seeing definite trends.”

Though these differences in brain structure and function are important markers for gender determination, it isn’t always as simple as male or female.

Some research shows the brains of transgender people are somewhere in between, sharing characteristics of both male and female brains, Dr. Altinay says. This is consistent with the growing understanding that gender exists on a spectrum, with people identifying not only as male or female but also as genderqueer, genderfluid or nonbinary. These terms refer to gender identities that incorporate a variety of gender characteristics.
While sex is genetically fixed (there are examples of people w/an extra X or Y chromosome out there) gender is a social construct that can change over the course of a person's lifetime.

Is this the sick bullshit they trying to put forth now, instead of actually helping these children instead of butchering them. It’s amazing how the left is destroying science for the sake of ideology and money.
 
Is that some American thing us Europeans don't understand? :p
