I've noticed that this comment thread seems to be another way in which people can utilize the internet to express socially irresponsible viewpoints that they might be uncomfortable saying in polite company. If it's all truthful, rather than Springer-esque fodder, it renews my knowledge of how truly hated the transgender community is and how far we have to go to begin to live lives in which we accept our children, friends, and neighbors with love regardless of what their genitals look like and what we think t hey should look like.

And by the way, just because the Texas Supreme court doesn't think anyone can ever change their "sex," some pretty reputable biologists disagree. My body seems a pretty temporary canvas; why should my sex be any different? I'm astounded that supportive parents who are wildly conservative to my thinking for failing to encourage their child to live her reality are considered too liberal and thus abusive. Yikes! Perhaps we should start removing kids from homes where parents are uneducated, hateful, close-minded, and angry? Just a suggestion. :) Sounds more abusive to me than parents who have no problems with exploding the sex/gender/sexuality binary. And social scientists roundly agree. But they don't carry bibles, so I digress.

And I simply can't NOT comment on the scary posters who think this 7-year-old is doomed to become a sex offender? Yes. You must be correct. Trangender people must have SOMETHING to do with coersive sex. I just can't think of what. Since 90% of child molestation sex abuse cases are straight men molesting girls, 5% are men molesting boys (straight and gay identifying men) it sure looks like Jazz is an unlikely candidate.

What a cool kid. Congrats to her. I could only hope to parent such a prescient, precocious, and analytical kindergartner!
