But I am a male. So I should at least know what it means to "feel" like a male, yes? I have no idea what it means to "feel" male or female. Should I go off and get a surgery to make it so I'm neither?

And again, I don't see how a man can say "I don't feel like a man; I feel like a woman" unless they have an understanding of what it means to feel both. Maybe it's all the same feeling, none of us can say for sure.

Well, we have to live in the same world they do; I don't see how it could not be our business, especially when total acceptance of the idea begins to affect children.

You are being silly. If you don't know how it feels for your external self to not match your internal self, it's because you don't feel that way.

What is your response to the links I posted upthread on the subject?

And you feel like a male and self-identify as a male. Transgendered kids say "I'm a girl, so why do I have a penis? Something's wrong."
You never had to go through that, I'll bet.

And what would they have done if at age eight the kid has said he was an orangutan?

A child of this age is far to young to be calling these kinds of shots, and delaying the normal onset of puberty seems like it probably has lots of unknowns.

Well, by all means, please show us a link with a legion of kids claiming they're orangutans.

I feel I was born to be the Silver Surfer....so what I am going to do is abandon my family...all my money needs to go towards research that will alleviate my disorder.

If I wasn't forced into living a lie...I wouldn't have ever brought kids into the world and spent all my resources and time into my destint...I would have become the galaxy surfing, laser shooting badass I was born to be.

This is not at all weird or depraved...it's how I FEEL...I have the silver surfer gene.

pretty much...I hate to say it, but the rest is just the kid fooling himself with the help of his parents & doctors. Unless he is truly unisex, he will always have an x and a y chromosome, unless they can figure out a way to remove those.
