Topic : 10/29 Gender Confused Children

Hey !

I am 19 now, and couldn't be girlier. However, when I was little and growing up I spent a lot of time with my dad and LOVED to play with miny cars, and lego stuff. I watched batman, power rangers, ninja turtles, and all those boy things. I used to wear boyish clothes to, just because I was a really active kid.

My dad told me he used to play with a tea sets when he was little because his mom (my grandma) used to have afternoon tea with her friends.

It's normal to do the opposite of the stereotype little boys and girls are given.

The parents of the child on the show are really brainwashing their kid, with big adult terms. That child lost her innocents with knowing terms such as "transgender." I feel really bad for that child. That child isn't understanding exactly what he is feeling, because he is speaking through his mother.

All kids are gender confused. This should really only be discussed when the child is a preteen.

dr. phil i have grown up as a transgendered all my life. i was born a girl but always thought i should have been a boy and still feel that way. i consider myself a man. my genitilia may be female but that is it. i have more male hormones that i do female. i also hated it when my mother tried to make me be a girl. i thought about suicide and even tried . thank god i did not succeed. i have to say the western mentality in our world sucks. who says a boy must dress a certain way or a girl should dress a certain way. we should be teaching our children that we are all of the human race and to not see colors, race, style, or anything for that matter . what we should be teaching is a love for all living things. since when did we become omnipotent and think that because someone or something is different that it is wrong. are we still living in the cave man days. i pray we have come farther than that but the world seems to be proving me wrong.

Hello, I'm new to this whole entire thing. To be honest I don't exactly watch the doctor Phil show unless my mother is home. HOwever today's topic really got to me. Due to the fact I am indeed a transgender. I was born female alas deep down I always believed I was a male, I played with boy toys, hung out with boys, got right down and dirty in mud, and if playing pretend games I always ALWAYS took on the male role. And now today I am currently in the process of becoming a male. Now I just want parents to know, the worst thing you can POSSIBLY do is to ignore it, call them names, abuse them with words...because I had parents like that growing up and they did everything you could possibly imagin, I was called names, I was phyiscally abused, and during the time you are trying to feel slighly normal even though you know you're not it just brings you down that much more. You feel like your own parents don't even love you. And just because the bible says it's wrong...it's wrong. How can anyone judge on those just because they don't understand it. Honestly I would love! to see those who do think the whole situation is wrong by dressing them up in the opsite clothing and have them go out into the world. When deep down they know they arn't that gender. People don't know how hard it actually is to be in this situation it's not like one day I woke up and said HEY! mom, dad I wanna be a boy...it's not like that! It's all mental, and how your own heart feels. I believe blaming God is wrong because God has nothing to do with this. It's what happens during delvopment in the woman's body. 

Thank you for listening, and touching this topic.

All the love Damon.
