Looks tremendously interesting.

I'll be watching. The clip on The View almost made me cry. It's so wonderful that there are great parents out there who are supporting their children through this. Devastating that so many children have families who do not.

Anyone have a link or more information? I'm just curious what you mean by transgender children. Children who have actually gone through hormone therapy and reassignment surgery or children who have gender dysmorphia (is that even the proper term?)?

Please tell me that it's the parents of children, and not the children themselves. God have mercey on those children if it is them. It's like The Blessed Virgin Mary said:' You're going to wake up one day and it's going to seem like the world has gone insane.'

I'll be watching and hoping that the show makes an impact on those parents who need it.

Sorry to burst your bubble, A Man, Duh, but it appears to be CHILDREN who, at such a young age, have already been perverted by their sick, twisted, liberal parents into believing that they should upgrade their weiners for a no-no.

Oh geez, the world has gone insane. God help them all.

Amanda, why are you ignoring the fact that the moderators saw fit to have you banned?

I remember hearing about a 6 y/old boy in Florida that requested to identified as a girl. This and the Hugo Chavez interview are proving to be some of Walter's best legit work.

Why are we all continuing to listen and respond to Amanda? We have better things to discuss than her BS.

Anyway, this sounds really interesting. It's a shame it's airing one day after my sexualities class ended! Here's hoping my roommate lets me watch it.

These children are transgendered--they identify and dress as their true sex, but have not undergone any hormones or surgeries.

Transsexual is when someone does transition with hormones and/or surgeries.

And that was one of the sad things mentioned on The View today--that one of the girls is about to hit puberty. She has to watch her sister go through puberty as a girl while she endures going through puberty as a boy. She wants what most every little girl wants--to grow up and have children. This will never happen.

I've got every right to post on here, as well as everyone else does. I've said what I have to say, I'm not debating with anyone anymore. It's all in God's hand now. God help us all.

[doodlenyc]

Posted: 4/27/07 at 12:45pm

oh, Amanda...The Blessed Virgin called and told me to tell you this:

[shira467]

I think Tyra's show is next week...on transgender and transsexual people.

"I've got every right to post on here, as well as everyone else does."

But, you see, you don't anymore. You were kicked to the curb. Rejected. The community doesn't want you here.

Tyra's show was last week...my bad.

The clip on the View today broke my heart as well.

Posted: 4/27/07 at 12:54pm

but I saw it, Shira...a young man and his mom were on, and Tyra brought out his dad who still didnt accept losing his little girl.

I saw it weeks ago on Oxygen...tv for women and gay men.

Speak for yourself.

Doodle, I know! I'm sorry, I was wrong on dates.

Tyra's always on the cutting edge!

And really, people, think about the fact that amanda whatever might be a sock who is just here to stir us up - who doesn't even believe the stuff they're spouting. Perhaps a former poster, perhaps not, but you might not want to waste your energy arguing with someone who actually probably agrees with the rest of us in reality.

Yes, Amanda is too campy to be for real.

[blueroses]

Posted: 4/27/07 at 1:03pm

Is it Amanda Lepore?

[shira467]

Posted: 4/27/07 at 1:03pm

Tyra rocks. Even if her weaves are pretty bad sometimes.
