This makes me taste my lunch a little and if we are not more vigilant it will become “normalized” (not at all normal just accepted prima facie as ‘normal’) into society.
“One man with courage makes a majority.”
It would take a whole lot to convince me that the parents were not projecting the gender identity onto the child.
Of course, statistically speaking, there almost certainly are same-sex parents with children who are legitimately transgendered.
I’m open to the possibility that this is the case, but my immediate reaction is to suspect that the parents are pushing this on the child.
What’s funny about this response is that it is sure to piss off both liberals and conservatives. Conservatives will not accept the phrase “legitimately transgendered” because it implies that this is a legitimate orientation, and liberals will pounce on me for thinking the sexual orientation of the parents is involved.
Surrounded on all sides – like one should be.
Now you’re sounding like a Marine! (Frozen Chosin in the Freezing Season)
<I make joke.>
I think the Chosin Reservoir battle is where this famous phrase came from too: “Retreat? Hell. We’re not retreating. We’re just advancing in a different direction.”
1st Marines CG, I think. Hell of a story.
And hence the conservatives reasons for not wanting homosexual couples from adopting. As you stated the projection of gender onto the child
I agree, I am not homophobic but I don’t think its fair to the child to let gay couples adopt kids. Kids are very cruel to each other and it would not be a good life for those kids in school.
Pat
And the article actually states the child questioning his gender at the age of 3. That definitely indicates confusion from a weird hierarchy of parents being the same sex and/or influence from the parents to me
In full agreement with both you and the OP at the same time, which is rather remarkable.
Marriage = Man + Woman. Period and end of story. But we’re now fucking that basic concept up along with everything else so I guess we’ll reap what we sow.
Only in California, and hopefully it stays that way.
It’s ridiculous how many professionals in the field of psychology speak/write/indicate the abscense of father figure in the home ruins children much less the dynamic of same sex parents.
The next time one of the gay marriage champions here wants to step up they’ll be expected to explain both why this wasn’t easy to foresee and why it’s ok.
Remember that you have straight parents forcing clearly gay kids to pretend to be straight, often driving them to suicide. Equally easy to foresee and equally not okay. The problem is the projecting or forcing of a sexual orientation onto another – something the vast majority of pro gay marriage people and people in general are fundamentally against.
To say that someone who supports gay marriage needs to explain why imposing a sexual orientation onto child is “okay” is literally nonsense, as if there is a necessary logical relationship between the two.
Agreed. And this case will just serve as a cause celebre for the homophobes to condemn gay marriage.
Fucked up parents increase the odds of fucked up kids. And fucked up parents come in all shapes and sizes, including gay and straight.
Standby… Belloc in 3… 2…
I was actually thinking the same thing.
AMEN!!

I can’t believe I got involved in another M4C thread about bumbaggers.
Sounds great when you overtly exclude the fact that this is exactly where we are now headed as a result of this specific sort of progressive enlightenment. Gays should be equal to the extent of a civil union only and should not ever be allowed to adopt. It is opening all the wrong doors, as is proven here and now.
You want to portray these two women as extreme cases then you willingly turn a blind eye to what you know to be true, which is that this was absolutely the next foreseeable step. You want to make me a mean guy because I’ve had it with this garbage slop shit, so be it. I won’t like you any more for trying to convince me what a bad and misguided fool I am, trust me.
So a Jewish lesbian couple in California have a transgender eight year old, nothing strange there as it is par for the course. Now if you tried telling me that a gentile hetrosexual couple in California had a normal healthy eight year old then I would be all like WTF.
True story. I was grilling some of my famous burgers for a bunch of friends out by the pool one day. One friend who happens to be Jewish invited her lesbian sister along with her partner over. As I was grilling everyone’s burgers one of the girls spoke up and proclaimed, “you can’t put cheese on the Jewish girls’ burgers because it isn’t Kosher”. I then asked if pink tacos were Kosher . . . you could hear a pin drop! :lol:
And what is even more remarkable is that I agree with both you and Alaskapopo! :eek:
We should play Powerball, it’s up to $270 big ones. 
Negative. Per the article:
"San Francisco, right by Berkeley, is one of four cities in the United States with a hospital that has a program for transgender children.
The University of California San Francisco is home to the Center of Excellence for Transgender Health.
Children are seen at length by mental health professionals and then treated by pediatric endocrinologists.
Others cities with youth programs are Boston, Seattle and Los Angeles"
No surprise there either. This is but one byproduct of social engineering and the incessant debasement our society’s moral fabric.
Well played… well played.
The recruiting agenda of the gay community is now out on full display for all to see. No more pretending.
We’ll agree to disagree.
