re: Houma has its first "transgender" student

I don't care what my child does after they turn 18, but this sure as hell isn't happening before then. Also I am not paying for it, so good luck with that.

Public disclaimer I have no kids...

Which one of you assholes is taking him to prom?

Houma ain't San Francisco. I bet that kids gets an arse whooping. Not that I want that. Just saying.

His son is a gay

The article didn't come up, I just saw the pictures. But I am going to take time & learn this now.

So this is a person, with a dick, who wants to be identified as a woman right? And those people are transgender? What are you called if you once had a dick, but you had surgery and now have tits and a twat?

Gay people for example, I know before they are even born, their sex organs can develop, but in their brain, hormones I guess... can not sync with the sex organs so someone can have a penis, but they will end up being sexually attracted to other men (same with women).

But in this situation. If this person with a dick feels like a woman, does that mean he/she likes other dudes? Or can you have a dick, feel like a woman, but are sexually attracted to women? How does all of this work?

Unlike most transgenders (s)he actually looks like a female. Albeit a female who does a terrible job at attempting to look pretty.

Just as a response to the overall thread:
Lot of who gives a shite opinions (which I tend to agree with) and plenty of disapproval of the direction this kid's life is heading (for his own sake) which I also agree with.
For those taking the 'live and let live' approach: I agree, but at what point do we draw a line? This kid must've went through hormones etc. well before being 18, which is terrible. The boy was likely just confused, and this will most likely come back to bite him in the arse. I don't have a link on hand, but there is a correlation to higher suicide rates and trannies.
The idea of 'live and let live' is great and all, but a line has to be drawn so as to prevent people from harming themselves or others. Arguably, this boy's parent(s) hurt him by encouraging this line of thought. If the boy had made these decisions as an adult, it would be one thing, but that's not what happened here.

Additionally, as others have already pointed out, the reason this gets attacked so hard is the idea by the left that this is NOT a mental disorder. It obviously is a mental disorder. The left is doing the equivalent of trying to call a shovel an apple. This does not justify bashing the kid, but it calls for getting him some help, as well as help for any other person dealing with this rather than trying to push it as normal behavior. That is dangerous because it could lead to people making foolish decisions without thinking clearly.

To the liberals that believe in science,

How do you justify this
