Quote From: bhm1rnWe were blessed nearly 3 years ago with the most beautiful grandson anyone could ever have. However, he had some genital anomalies that we knew were going to require minor (we thought) corrections as he grew. However, after 6 months and delayed growth (but not development) we had genetic studies done, discovering he has a condition called "XY-XO Mosiac Sydrome." Genetic tagging tells us that he is very lightly affected--he's had 2 surgeries to repair hypospadias and 1 to remove tissue in the abdomen that started out as an ovary, but did not fully develop. Some of these children are much more severely affected, and it can be difficult to tell gender at the time of birth. It is a complex syndrome, and the effects are far-reaching. Some of the children have mental delays, particularly in the area of mathmatics and spatial reasoning, most will be very short without the early administration of growth hormones, and some of them are sterile. The condition occurs very, very early in gestation-we were told during the first 92 hours following conception, and, simply put, means that not all of his XY (male) chromosomes are complete. As they grow up, some of these folks identify female, even if they look male or have had reconstructive surgery to appear male, and a significant number of them choose transgender surgery in their late teens and early 20's Our grandson appears, at this point, to identify completely male, but should that change, we, with his wonderful parents, will love and support him, and provide whatever he needs to become the most complete, productive human being he can be. Because isn't that the real goal of a loving family and a truly tolerant and educated society--to make its members complete, contributing and productive? What they have inside their underclothing is just nobody else's business.
I am not trans-gendered, nor can I speak for any of them but, I do know that many of them have both male and female chromosomes at birth. Many children are born with both male and female genitalia. This is not as uncommon as people think. Unfortunately many children have had surgeries to define their sexuality when they are too young to know which gender they will identify with. In the latest documentaries that I've watched on this, it is now recommended that parents wait until the child is older to have surgery done for this very reason.
For those on here who claim that nature is supposedly perfect and never makes a mistake, although I find it hard to use that term when referring to children, they are dead wrong. I do not believe that anyone would choose to be a trans-gender just for the heck of it. Why would they? And Satan has nothing to do with it either! It's no different than trying to say that Satan gave a child cancer. This is nature, and God needs to be kept out of it.
