Of course it is. Satan loves to confuse. He hates humanity, human sexuality most of all because it can create new life in Imago Dei. Satan cannot create, only destroy.

I guess I was addressing the liar part with you, the rest I added from what others have posted.
 
I never said the girl was lying. I said she is very confused and needs help. Telling everyone else to lie to her is not help.

I have a sister, who as a child was the ultimate tom boy. She had interests in everything her brothers did. She was much more happy driving tractor on the farm or playing sports with her brothers. Who knows how little it would have taken from society or others for her, at an immature age, to decide she was really a boy? Thankfully, that did not exist back then. She is happy married with several kids. I can help but wonder if this is the scenario with lots of “transgender” kids. I said it above, is there really a feeling of being a boy or a girl? I doubt it.
 
It is the best thing posted so far. To repeat the one part that applies.

I am hoping this does not offend those who struggle with sexual identity issues, but this truly is the best thing we have so far, with two caveats. One, it is only referring to a practical practice. Two, this is an issue that is fairly new, despite all the propaganda about how this has always existed. Yes, something has existed in the past, but that something is not this something - the idea that boys are feeling like girls and parents are falling over themselves to help them choose their gender. It is weird, and it really is new. So I can understand the temptation to accommodate these parents, but it seems to contradict best Catholic practices, based on the knowledge we have at this time.

Catholics do need to be less dogmatic about this, since there really is no dogma, and understand the Church my develop how it approached this whole transgender issue. Likewise, it remains to be seen if, as a society, the negative outcome of allowing children to pick a gender other than their biological gender will prove disastrous, or not. The increased suicide rate is an early indicator that some problem might exist that the gender rights movement is blind to. I simply do not know, and I am leery of anyone that says they do.

Believe it or not, I would have absolutely no problem with that. Funny how some people have huge problems with this issue and others have none.
 
Isnt that with every issue under the sun?

Btw, I dont care if any person wants to change their name. Save my children.

I misunderstood you, I’m sorry… but what I said is still just my opinion.

Unfortunately a feeling of being a boy or a girl is something a person can never understand unless they feel it… I never understood depression or the desire to kill yourself, yet it exsits.

It’s a very sad day when the one place we should be able to send our children to get a good education can’t stick to the morals they claim to hold.

I mean morality aside, bending to this kind of thing is just bad for business. I mean imagine if a totally vegan restaurant served cheeseburgers to just one customer. The people who paid extra for their service might think twice about coming.
 
I doubt this is being imposed on the child in question, who was presumably brought up as a girl until just recently, when he told people he was a boy.

It’s not like there are people telling kids to transition, any more than there are actually people out to “turn kids gay.” There may be adults who are supportive of gay or trans identities, but the impetus comes from the kid figuring something out in their own head.

A poster on CAF @oralabora has a family member who suffers from this condition. S/he would probably disagree with your speculation.
 
There definitely are parents out there telling kids to transition. Especially since we see “trans kids” who are at ages that essentially the entire civilized world would agree are too low to be able to think rationally.

Apology accepted, but from what I can tell, those on this thread who have voiced any level of opposition to the school’s policy have been accused of being uncharitable, wanting to expel the child, unkind, not being like Christ, etc. Much, if not all of it, is completely uncalled for. We simply do not buy into the (very) new philosophy of gender, as such we must be evil (my words, not yours). It’s the default assumption.
In reality, this is all a very risky experiment with these children’s lives. An approach, even from a purely psychological standpoint, has come into vogue way too fast when looking at it from a theraputic standpoint. No scientific basis at all.

There is a whole movement a foot of people actually raising the kids from the earliest age as gender neutral or gender fluid. It’s going to be a disaster.

This very thread has referred to gender assigning at birth as that is the norm. It’s not.

No, kids used to not do this. The only reason why kids think this way is because they are confused, perhaps a very low level of self esteem, and suddenly society has told them gender can be assigned.

Indeed I do disagree. Our child came out of the blue; otherwise seemed like a normal boy though very introverted, distant, and obviously unhappy about something. We knew something was amiss, but not what. It was actually a relief to find out what it was. By accepting her, we got our child back. Once she lost the fear of being rejected by us, we had someone fun do be with again.

She has a tough row to hoe, but we will be there for her.

I really doubt parents make a child trans. It comes from too deep within to be imposed from the outside.
 
Why would you reject your son?

Do you have a son or daughter???

I would suffer an incredible amount, and never cast out my child. But I wont feed a disorder. I can love them through anything.

Yes, I can understand why. My sister was always (still is) the picture of happiness and confidence. But take a kid, such as my sister who is interested in all things of the opposite sex, but happens to be an introvert and possibly has problems with depression or other mental health conditions, it’s easy to see how they could misplace the source of their problems. Having dealt with severe mental health problems in my siblings, I know that they are often grasping to find a “source” of their troubles, that one thing that explains it all.

Speculation on my part, admittedly. But I can’t help but think this might be happening more often than not.

It comes from our fallen nature. In ourselves, our family, our friends, and this whole world. No one is without some dysfunction.

I have some disorder. I certainly dont judge anyone for theirs.

I dont believe we should accept disorder. Strive against it. Love through it. Even if our love is weak. Stand up after each fall.

That’s trifles and it doesn’t matter if you don’t call them anything. It isn’t a problem if they are treated kindly, though by that I don’t mean to condone some of their actions.
