Quote From: happymomx4And I would like to explain a few things. She could never physcially become a boy because her condition is such that she cannot absorb the male hormone. If she could have, she would have been a boy in utero... born a boy, etc. Her behavior suggests strongly to me that she indeed FEELS like a boy. So she's not ever going to make any sort of transition other than act like a boy, refers to herself as a boy and unfortunately will be a very curvy woman as she grows. There will be nothing she can do about it. It's not cut and dried. God made a MAN or a WOMAN.... that's a joke. Then what is my daughter? She has been referred to by the medical profession as a "freak" or an "it". What am I supposed to make of that? She is absolutely beautiful and outgoing child. My issue is how do I keep her happy? That is my only goal in my life. If I can face my maker at the end of my life and say that I did right by my kids - then I will feel i've done what I was put on this Earth to do.
It's not a sexual issue... she's only 4! What do you bible thumpers make of this?
BTW. Jamie Lee Curtis was born with this same condition as was Pamela Guildy (regular actress on CSI - I have spoken to her on many ocassions.)
I think you do exactly what you said... you make her/him as happy as possible. You follow the lead of the child. One day the answer will just present itself, and hopefully by then there will be ways to help in whatever way there needs to be.
Whenever you talk about genitals bible thumpers get all bent out of shape. Just ignore it. They add stress and harm for no reason.
