Transgendered 6-Year-Old.

Well, why don't you all just thank the Good Lord that the parents haven't gone as far as giving Jazz a sex-change! Can you imagine if later down the road he were to change his mind and think he was just being a silly child and wanted to be a man after all but he had no penis! I say if he is transgendered - he needs to take care of that (the surgeries)when he's / she is an adult. In the meantime I pray the parents give Jazz homeschooling so violent kids and weirdos like you overly ignorant and negative people won't hurt/kill him/her.

Other than that no freagin' shrink is going to help if Jazz is transgendered to make "him" a "normal boy." I knew some kids in childhood that knew they were in the "wrong body" since they were 2 & 3 years old, so you never know. Furthermore, what makes you think the parents aren't getting Jazz therapy now anyway? Maybe the "shrink" has tested Jazz and discovered it's serious. Maybe from that point on word got out and the media picked the story up. I say if Jazz's parents are accepting - then it's a hell of a lot better than having parents try to beat him into being "normal!"

There's your food for thought. Try not to choke on it.

Trans-gender disorder or Gender Dysphoria is very real. It is a condition where the male or female feels they were born in the wrong body. People are born like this. For folks to say that the parents are wrong or to blame them is bang out of order here. The parents clearly thought it was a phase and thought their little boy would grow out of it. But clearly he didn't . little Jazz thought he was a girl and was distraught when told he wasn't. It is wrong to think that someone would choose to be a girl for the sake of sexual gratification, which is clearly not the case here seeing that it is a small child who sees himself as a girl and not a boy. I think we all need to wake up and pay attention to what our children are telling us. So many children commit suicide because their family and society comes down on them and calls and thinks them "weird" or "freaks." This child clearly is self aware. Thank goodness Jazz had parents that were open minded enough to get help for Jazz and allow Jazz to be the person who she thought she was.

Most people seem to think that making their kids stick to the way that closed minded people think will cause them to come out "normal", news flash, no one is normal, and a good amount of people that don't get the support end up killing themselves, think about that, what if your kid was like that and they killed themselves cause you rejected them.

In this day and age I can not BELIEVE people are so cruel and narrow minded..People can not help the way they are born, but they can help the way they live..If a child is young enough to understand they are born in the wrong body then they are old enough to be educated as to what they can do about it..If a child wants to live as a girl and not a boy then the parents have the right to help this child live the way they need to for their own mental well being.If you don't like the fact that people do this then bury your head in the sand and stay there till you are older and maybe wiser as to the way the world is..

You think this was brainwashed. Obviously you have not studied Gender Psychology all that much.

Daivd Reimer was born a boy, but when a doctor botched his circumcision, another doctor recommended raising him as a girl. The doctor then published articles and journal stating gender is based on 'nurture', not nurture.

The problem here is the doctor completely ignored reporting that David rebelled at being a girl. Everything he was told in his first 14 years was that he was a girl ( i.e. literal brainwashing ). Do you think that his perception of wrong gender was completely in his head? I believe his story identifies that as much as people think that parents could brainwash children, the identity of gender is a core piece of who we are.
