A family in my area are raising their little boy as a little girl. Making the boy wear dresses and all of that, but most concerning is that they are telling him that he is a girl.

I really am trying to avoid sharing my very strong feelings about this, but I just can't see how this wouldn't be abuse. Why won't anyone do anything about it?

What do you think?
Right/wrong?

You know there is a thing called transgenderism, its actually a thing. See most people on this site would probably be considered cis-gender. That is that your physical gender and your mental gender match so to say. Others are not like this. I know people who in one way or another feel they were born the wrong sex and since worked towards fixing that. Its their life. The only thing that would make this child abuse is if the parents are forcing it on the child and its not in some way the childs choice.

Wow, that is a new one to me. As an adult I understand this, but having a child do that? Not much totally shocks me but this is a first. Prayer definitely! I'd love to know what is going on in parents mind doing that??

its becoming less rare as society becomes more openminded and less fearful of people who might be considered different from the norm. Well most of society anyways.

I've actually heard of this stuff before. So far, that i know of, this is not labeled as child abuse.

There are many things wrong with this.

I know a guy in my class who turned himself into a girl in his 20's. Its very obvious he is confused about more than just his gender. Every few days he gets a new piercing and new tattoo and new clothes, and new hobby, and new whatever. He is lost and confused. Confused about everything. Some people can say, trying to find himself.

We opened the pandoras box a long time ago. In modern times everything is okay. Up is down, down is left, orange is blue, and soft is hard. Anything and everything goes. Do it with your dog, do it with your kids, do it with your neighbor, do whatever and whenever you want as long as it makes you feel good. Welcome to the postmodern generation.

In short, poor little boy. I feel sorry for him. He needs our prayers.But in modern times this is not even against the law. The parents are allowed to do whatever they want.

I'm just waiting until Nambla creates a legit political party in the USA. With the way things are going, its bound to happen any time.

Personally I still believe in right and wrong, and certain things are wrong.

No, it isn't child abuse, and it's becoming all the more common :( It makes me very, very sad. If the little boy ever appears unhappy because of this, then that may give you a reason to speak with the parents about this, or even, if you feel this is a concern, since transgender have an astronomically high suicide rate...someone I know, an old friend, is a transgender, and the only thing I can do for him is pray for him. It's a tragic thing, but not much can be done. :<

Technically this isn't considered child abuse. I would say it is like an emotional or mental abuse, but honestly i doubt any authorities will do anything unless the child is in serious danger. If you feel super strong about it, well let me say this, i know if it were me I would turn to cps making an anonymous tip. But just realize that if the child is not in serious danger and he gets taken away will it be the best for that child? There are toher factors. You know groing up we didn't have much money and i wore boy and girl clothes and was considered a tom boy. I later grew up and got really girly lol. hemight figure it out once he goes to school.

"The only thing that would make this child abuse is if the parents are forcing it on the child and its not in some way the childs choice." quote from Nautilus

How could the child choose...he is being lied to by someone who is suppose to be honest with him. God made male and female...nothing else..He made no mistakes in choosing the gender of this poor abused child...This is abuse...in the strictest sense of the word, but our society has gotten so far from God that this kind of thing is not dealt with. Pray for this child to be safe and to learn the difference soon enough to not have emotional scars that will hurt him his entire life,,,,Pray for these parents to see the damage they are doing to their child.

Actually a good percentage of normal society recognizes this now. Its very prevalnet on college campuses and in young adult lives.

You would be surprised how early children are cognizant. Many can realize they are uncomfortable being one sex at an early age. And yes God did make male and female congratulations on getting past chapters 1 and 2 of Genesis. That doesnt mean someone who is male wouldnt be able to feel more comfrotable and live a more fulfilling life as a female.

*sigh* Believe or not..... it's very very common here in the Philippines.... and there's nothing you can really do about it 'cause that's "society" now a days... and it's not against the law, probably the best thing to do is witness to the parents or the boy and also pray....

I have gotten by Genesis 1 and 2 several times...I am a Mother of 5 and grandmother of 2 so I know how early children are cognizant......and have been a Christian for 32 years.......now to the topic.....
Since this is Christian chat....the Biblical view of this would be to see God's point. Not what man has warped the society to be by making god in his own image.
This would be idolotry...and is the fact of many peoples' worship of God. To mess with the intended gender of the person, is to slap a Holy God in the face, and say..."You made a mistake.".....I am just enough coward to not be about doing that.

In my eyes it's abuse and it's wrong. This little boy is only about 6 years old and doesn't know the difference between a girl and boy nor is he the one making the choice. Everyone is just going along with it. This world is just getting worse and worse. I had heard about parents letting their child pick their clothes and toys, but this is different. They are telling him that he is a girl.

God makes us a male or female, in my eyes it is wrong to change that when you are older, but if that is your desire so be it. IT absolutely is not something that should be forced on a child.

I think people are too afraid to fight it. With the way things have turned, I feel this family would have so much support from all sorts of different groups.

Thank you all for your prayers! I'm hoping something will come up and he himself with will know the difference.

Obviously wrong. That is truly abuse. Authorities should intervene, if not a religious authority, or family.

It's a little kid, that is not his choice. He was taught that. Kids cant choose things like that.. they can choos whether they want a brownie or icecream for dessert, NOT that!
