As early as 18 months old, Kimberly Shappley's son started showing signs he identified as female. Now, the Christian mom shares how she learned to embrace Kai's transition — for her child's happiness and safety. ... Copied to Clipboard!

By the time Kai was 3 1/2 years old, I couldn't ignore it anymore. She was verbalizing that she was a girl at least six times a day. Everything was: "I'm a princess" and "I'm a girl." Every time she'd say something like that, I'd get down on her level and firmly say, "No, you're a boy." It never worked. She would correct me by waiting until I was in the middle of something and unable to chase her around, then run into the room and yell, "I'm a girl!" and run out again. I did everything I could think of to cut off that kind of talk. There were time-outs, so many time-outs. There were spankings and yelling matches and endless prayers. I even contacted the daycare Kai attended and asked them to put away every single "girl" toy. They complied with it, but Kai never changed her tune. The tenaciousness and bravery of this child is something from which I've learned so much. ... Copied to Clipboard!

With all of that, when Kai turned 4, I finally let her transition. There was still fear and confusion. I was defying the societal and cultural expectations of our community, family and friends. But I knew I had to choose to accept my daughter exactly the way God created her — and there was also a beautiful freedom in that. A few weeks after I stopped punishing Kai for "acting girly," she put on a wizard robe she'd received as a birthday gift, making it her "first dress." She stole my headband to make a belt and pulled her hair forward as much as possible. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Yea I support the trans community fully....but that child hasn't developed a mind able to put those thoughts together yet. It's like...kids don't hit puberty until their teens. Someone younger can't know they're gay yet. Liking female things as a young boy isn't a sign of being trans. It's just normal. They don't have the capacity to put all of that together yet.

If you wait until puberty has begun, it's much harder to transition. Best path is social transition, then hormone blockers to delay puberty, and then hormones like estrogen/testosterone. Also, I knew I liked girls from a young age. So did many other guys. But keep on talking like you have any clue what this little girl is dealing with. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Transgender people, like other people, are generally cognizant by that period. I don't believe he was born a transgender. If gender identity is a social construct then it's learned from the environment and cannot be inherited through birth.

The real issue is our society's insistence on clinging to gender roles. The mother trying to essentially force her child to be a boy by dressing them up in camouflage and making them play with super hero toys and shit like that is a big part of the problem. Just let the child do what they want, wear what they want, and play with what they want. That stuff has nothing to do with gender, just individual, personal preference.
Stop putting people in this dumbass bubble of "Oh, my son likes playing with barbies? He must really be a girl!" I played with barbies when I was a kid. I dressed up as a purple butterfly for Halloween once, and shit, I think I even once wore a tutu when I was like, 4. I still very much consider myself a guy, and am straight. Yes, there are actual cases of gender misidentity, but I personally feel like it's less common than people are making it out to be. Too often it's parents having this misguided idea that just because a boy doesn't act "manly" enough or a girl doesn't act "girly" enough, they must be a completely different gender. Like, holy fuck, just let them be them. Stop trying to put them into little bubbles because of your backwards ideas of what boys and girls are "supposed" to do. --- "She was like, 'Oh, did you see that firefighter? Hes so cute.'

Capn, nobody transitions because they want to date guys. Or girls. They transition because they have gender dysphoria and transitioning is the most effective course of treatment.
BTW all research on the subject shows that younger transitioners are far happier. What even are the parameters of how you're measuring happiness? --- Pokemon Moon FC: 1994-2190-5020 IGN: Vanessa ... Copied to Clipboard!

Darmik posted...Do they have personal experience? I'm more talking about the people who think it's because of the Mom or that she's too young for her behavior. I think a lot of people refuse to relate to a mind that's developing in a way that they don't understand. Happened (still happens?) with homosexuality too. I'll never pretend to understand what it's like to go through this. It sounds very complex and complicated to deal with. So it annoys me when people make blanket statements about their lives because they spent two minutes reading an article. The Mom and her daughter live with it every day. So I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. Nothing in the article sounds extreme or crazy either. --- Kind Regards, Darmik ... Copied to Clipboard!

Maybe not specifically because they want to date guys or girls, but gender is part of one's sexual identity as are gender roles. Not only is that something the transgender community has to deal with, but the gay community as well. I think it's disingenuous for you to say the main source of their troubles or pain comes from the outside world through housing discrimination or harassment. Sure, that may be the case sometimes, but the main source of pain comes from within---knowing that they are different and knowing they won't have a "normal" life. For you to completely dismiss that is ridiculous. I'm sure the research on the subject of young transitioners is extremely limited. I doubt there is extended research on <10 year olds who "transitioned" that are now nearing in their late twenties or thirties. --- "I think that man will be president right about the time when spaceships come down filled with dinosaurs in red capes" - Tom Hanks ...

But it's the only examples that you gave, while completely ignoring the major elephant in the room, which is their own struggle with identity, feelings, emotions, and their place in the world. Much of that has nothing to do with external factors, at least nothing that can be significantly changed. Same thing with gays and lesbians. Despite the fact marriage is legal, acceptance is increasing, there are still internal struggles to be had that have nothing to do with discrimination. Also, if you post some research of individuals that are 25+ that transitioned before they were 10 years old, I'll gladly read it tomorrow (I'm fixing to go to bed). --- "I think that man will be president right about the time when spaceships come down filled with dinosaurs in red capes" - Tom Hanks ...

1. It is easier to transition if you don't go through the "wrong" puberty. It's much easier to pass as a woman if you never develop an Adam's apple (or to pass as a man if you never develop wide hips). You can always stop the hormone blockers and puberty will happen as normal. I don't understand your issue here. 2. Gender dysphoria is a mental illnes and transition is the treatment 3. The fact that you would compare letting someone be who they are to physically hurting themselves for no reason? Really just shows how transphobic you are. ... Copied to Clipboard!
