"Good intentions" can only go so far in a critical society, and these people should also be practical. It is a very interesting idea, though. <br /><br />But it does leave me with a few questions. Isn't there a ton of crossover between genders... that is, don't some people not identify with just one, or either, gender? What then?Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05286795917822941982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9204080274406469.post-75774476558710184782011-10-07T19:31:17.545-07:002011-10-07T19:31:17.545-07:00I find this article interesting, but I’m not quite...I find this article interesting, but I’m not quite sure how it will work. Will the child decide at a very early age whether he/she wants to be a boy or girl? Or will the child eventually conform to societal views once he/she reaches puberty? I recently watched a documentary about an 8-year-old boy who dresses, acts, and even looks like a girl. He wants to get a sex change but he is afraid of the pain that will come with the surgery. His parents are 100% supportive of his life decision, and will endorse his sex change surgery when he is ready. (http://documentarystorm.com/age-8-and-wanting-a-sex-change/) Do you think the parents from Azi’s article would be just as well off dressing the child how they want to and then allowing the child to tell them if he/she does not agree with the gender they “picked” for him/her? Or do you think their current approach is best?elizabeth manzohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00438139193416977062noreply@blogger.com
