Welcome to our upside-down world where long before a child actually has any sense of true identity they already believe they are having an gender identity crisis.
A boy of nine has returned to school as a girl in what is believed to be Britain’s youngest gender swap.
Children at the school in southern England were told the child had left and been replaced by a female pupil.
The child came dressed in girls’ uniform with long hair tied in a pink ribbon.
The case comes after it was revealed yesterday that a 12-year-old boy had started his first term at secondary school in southern England as a girl.
Some parents at the school have criticised staff for not informing them before telling children about the gender change at a special assembly.

Parents of childen at this U.K. school were understandably upset, but maybe not for what you would think. They weren’t really going to bother with the fact that a 9 year old felt he/she needed to get a gender change…no, I guess that is just normal these days. (Reminder! The child was under 10 years old)
The class parents weren’t upset with the gender swap itself, but with the way the school handled the issue.
Many parents felt they should have been informed in advance so they could better prepare their children. However, The Beaumont Society, a British transgender organization, felt it was inappropriate to advertise the gender change at all, feeling it would only lead to bullying and teasing of the 9-year-old in question.

I highly suggest you click the link above to the group the school reached out to for advice. Wow!
From reading the comments here regarding this issue, it seems that this 9 year old’s gender transition is simply the tip of the iceberg of a much larger growing trend, and social movement. It seems that 9 year old children having gender changes is the norm, and if you think otherwise it is YOU who have the problem!

I am confused about why so many are so prone to believe that a person’s biological state is the surest sign of gender. We KNOW for a fact, scientifically, that people are born with physiological gender anomalies all the time; why couldn’t or shouldn’t the psychological identity be deemed the most accurate? (emphasis added)
Yea how closed minded of me to think that gender might have something to do with biology!?
