[QUOTE="buddy, post: 473803, member: 12886"] I want to read more about this. it is interesting to me. My understanding is that gender identity disorder is the term that would be used for a child who really feels they are in the wrong body. I thought (could be very wrong of course) they do not have to have the surgery to be called transgendered. They can have their sex changed legally without it. I doubt this is just a kid who likes to wear girls clothes sometimes. I dont think it has anything to do with whether or not they ultimately are attracted to boys or girls, right? It is really interesting to me how views are changing. There are some who have gone thru the surgery and everything and now say they wish they never had, most say they really suffered growing up because they couldn't be who they knew they were. So now some are making hard choices because these kids are ready to kill them selves over this at a very young age. I had a student who is an intersexed child and parents decided to raise him as a boy. He was very much not part of the "boy" group in class but that happens with some not intersexed children too. We just let him be who he was. Poor kids, such a hard road. [/QUOTE]
