Well the family changed their last name for.....reasons. They probably wear colored contact lenses and heel inserts too.True. She doesn’t appear to regret anything. I wonder at this point if she could or would it be too much to bear like Oedipus?
Looks like the article did get a lot of the basic facts correct:

I go first then I’m done. Fast.You haven't been with the right one or aren't doing it correctly.
Maybe you can use this app and live like the rest of us. Don't worry, Boogie can explain it to you.Orgasms are a myth for women. No one I’ve been with does. She’s just trying to stay relevant
I always say, "you had just as much time as I did"I go first then I’m done. Fast.
There is no line of reasonablenessI don't believe that article.
I don't know where the line of reasonableness is. It's probably a fuzzy one. And this family may very well be on the wrong side of it. But there's no way for outsiders like us to make that judgment if our only information is clearly ideologically-driven narrative.
When they said you would own nothing they weren't kidding. Abolishing parental rights is the next goal of the Democrats. They're already removing kids from homes in Canada for child abuse if you don't support their gender change surgery.

Dogs do provide very good emotional support. My golden retriever goes with me everywhere in town and people love him. I am calmer with him around me, I enjoy my dog's company. My wife says I love him more than her, but she is wrong, and I explain it to her. My dog is a kind dog that loves people, he rejects most dogs because he prefers people. At the dog park, he only visits the owners and not dogs. One time a mom and dad had a two-year-old that was all over my dog, they were worried about the boy pulling his tail and I told them it would be ok, my dog just stood there letting him do it. The boy played with his face and ears along with petting his body and he just stood there enjoying the attention the boy gave him. He is very intuitive about people and barks at a few that he thinks are bad people walking by our house. He barks at two people that go by our porch and when he is outside, he only barks once to come in the house after he finishes his business.I've never understood the emotional support animal. I get seeing-eye dogs, I get dogs that can sense if one's blood sugar is low (as an example). But emotional support? I don't get it.
But for what its worth, I know someone who claims their dog as an emotional support dog to fly with them (and they fly a lot). They are a Trump enthusiast. So it isn't necessarily only a crazy liberal thing though I suspect it skews more left.
But I am not a trained psychiatrist/psychologist, maybe if I were better educated on this I would get the use of emotional support pets.
Totally agree. I can't imagine life without a dog (we prefer big ones). They're a lot of work as pups and always an expense, but worth every penny.Dogs do provide very good emotional support.

Do you think it's possible for someone to be genuinely transgender?The New Face of Transgender Youth
What defines gender? Is it biology, the heart and mind, or some combination of both? As the debate surrounding transgender children swirls, one girl is sharing her personal story in the hope that she can help others.news.yahoo.com
Started showing “leanings toward a feminine side” at 15 months old. Started verbalizing that she was a girl at 2.
This child was created by her parents and they should be in jail.
Can you define transgender?Do you think it's possible for someone to be genuinely transgender?
They don’t start until they hit 33.Orgasms are a myth for women. No one I’ve been with does. She’s just trying to stay relevant
Identifying as a gender different from the sex one was physically born, although for this question, I mean honestly and genuinely. I.e., not someone who is lying, or mentally ill, or brainwashed by parents or teachers.Can you define transgender?
Sure.Do you think it's possible for someone to be genuinely transgender?
She's old enough now to express regrets. I'm not at all suggesting her failure to do so acts as an endorsement, but it is informative. Specifically, it adds to our original reaction to the first story in this thread. I see some differences between how the two sets of parents are portrayed, but still some similarities of situation and timing, as well.Sure.
But not prepubescent children.
They don’t know what being a man or woman is until they develop INTO a man or a woman.
And at 15 months old like this Jennings kid?
Bullshit.
Nobody believes that child was communicating unhappiness with the gender they were assigned at birth at 15 months old. It’s impossible.
So the question is, why do we pretend otherwise?
Yea, 15 months seems way too young for anyone to know with certainty (from my uninformed opinion).Sure.

Just so I’m understanding…is that someone who thinks they are something they are not? Or is it someone who wants to be something they are not?Identifying as a gender different from the sex one was physically born, although for this question, I mean honestly and genuinely. I.e., not someone who is lying, or mentally ill, or brainwashed by parents or teachers.
She’s never known anything different. She has no other point of reference. She’s been told she’s a girl since she can remember.She's old enough now to express regrets.

Neither, but by boiling it down to that, you've answered the question.Just so I’m understanding…is that someone who thinks they are something they are not? Or is it someone who wants to be something they are not?
I am surprised more homosexuals haven't come out against transgenders since trans are really rejecting feelings of homosexuality. I don't understand the need to reject your body, which is what trans are doing, instead of accepting different feelings of attraction. I had a brother that it was clear from an early age he was probably a homosexual and as he accepted his feelings in his late teens, he started taking on some characteristics often seen in gay men. It was clear to most that met him that he was gay despite not coming out of the closet for several years into his twenties.Identifying as a gender different from the sex one was physically born, although for this question, I mean honestly and genuinely. I.e., not someone who is lying, or mentally ill, or brainwashed by parents or teachers.
And yet her story came into this thread by way of a right wing opinion monger implying just that - regrets. Which was my objection. I wasn't defending the parents, only attacking the ideological hack.She’s never known anything different. She has no other point of reference. She’s been told she’s a girl since she can remember.
I wouldn’t expect her to have regrets.
She doesn’t know enough about what she would have been to HAVE regrets.
Thats on the parents.
Why do we pretend like this is ok, goat?
Jazz is having some existential issues, clearly. Whether that is regrets about being molded into something Jazz wasn't born to be by Jazz's parents...time will tell on that. Eventually the cool lifestyle of having your own show and notoriety will go away and Jazz who "doesn't feel like I can be me" or however it was put is going to be facing a pretty different life.And yet her story came into this thread by way of a right wing opinion monger implying just that - regrets.

How can it be neither? It’s either one of those or it’s a lifestyle choice based on your definition.Neither, but by boiling it down to that, you've answered the question.

I take my brother's experience and say that kids early in life don't really understand the difference in sexuality, they do know the difference in gender. I see people pushing kids too fast into sexual feelings and decisions. Too many of the situations we read about and see are parents acting on their beliefs instead of allowing children to develop at their own pace. Just as young prodigies are often pushed to develop instead of letting them develop as children leading to harming the prodigy as an adult.
Incorrect. My definition did not require the assumption that the identity in question is something "they are not."How can it be neither? It’s either one of those or it’s a lifestyle choice based on your definition.
It's not clear to me that she is having any existential issues at all. It's clear to me that some people, including you (and I don't say this in an accusing manner, just reflective of your clearly-stated opinions on the topic) are inclined to assume that she would have existential issues by the very nature of her experiences as a trans person.Jazz is having some existential issues, clearly.

And Justin was set on the Jazz path by parents at less than a year and a half old.

Therefore, one of the 2 examples I put out there is correct based on your definition. Or it’s a lifestyle choice.Either.
It was just a reaction to this line: "This child was created by her parents and they should be in jail."Then why did you ask me if I thought people could be trans?
No. Your dichotomy (trichotomy?) does not follow necessarily from my definition at all, unless you are using words to mean something other than they normally do.Therefore, one of the 2 examples I put out there is correct based on your definition. Or it’s a lifestyle choice.

I don’t give a damn what adults wanna do with their lives.It was just a reaction to this line: "This child was created by her parents and they should be in jail."
For some people on here, a comment like that would be entirely meaningless to me, because they've already made it clear that they believe all transgenderism to be phony, brainwashing, or mental illness, so of course they would draw that conclusion. My question was just a way of asking if you were one of them.
“Identifying as a gender different from the sex one was physically born”No. Your dichotomy (trichotomy?) does not follow necessarily from my definition at all, unless you are using words to mean something other than they normally do.
