(Body Shock) Age 8 And Wanting A Sex Change (Male-to-Female transsexual) Part 4 of 4

As experts consider a review of UK guidelines for treating transgender children, this film follows a number of children in the US who told their parents they were born in the wrong body.
In America, children under 16 can be prescribed hormone 'blockers' to prevent the onset of puberty, with a view to then follow with hormone treatment to become their new gender. This film follows the American experience.
Eight-year-old Josie was born a boy but has been living as a girl for two years since revealing the full extent of his feelings about his identity to his mother.
Kyla is also eight. She was born a boy but loves anything pink and sparkly, has grown his hair, and is preparing to return for school after summer dressed as a girl for the first time. She says: 'If I had to wear boys' clothes and be a boy for the rest of my life, I'd probably die.'
They have both been diagnosed with gender dysphoria.
Sixteen-year-old Chris, who was born a girl, started testosterone treatment at 14. He now has a deep voice and plentiful body hair, and shaves regularly.
These children and their parents reveal what it is like to face life-changing questions, giving a frank insight into a subject most people never have to consider.

I'm glad Chris's gf was accepting of him.

@LACraig621 I would think transpeople are raised by straight parents... they're the only ones that can have kids. Your ignorance is astounding, and seems your ongoing posts here only prove you have your own unresolved gender issues you're dealing with - otherwise you would have left this alone and gone on to something else....

@Beccie1011 and Guess what one of the treatments for gender identity disorder is? Gender reassignment surgery and hormone blanancers and replacements. It's very common. and anyone who hasn't gone through it can understand fully, but instead of thinking the parents and *gays and fags as you call them maybe you shoulf try to see how strong the childrena re and the parents do yo uthink its fucking easy for them

[LACraig621]

@switcherx That`s the difference between heterosexual logic and fag logic, you`re following a program while i`m using common sense. And when you mother decides she wants to your father you`d quit the program you`re been brainwashed to follow.

@LACraig621 Medical authorities support this process... get with the program

[Beccie1011]

@LACraig621 but they arent actually changing their sex they are dressing that way and besides if you dont like this type of thing and you think its so wrong why are you watching it?? hmm ?? just to start shit with those who disagree with you so take you homophobic ass and leave and for the secong time im not fucking gay

[LACraig621]

An 8 year old can`t change a lightbulb let alone change his sex. You`re sick and desperate if you think otherwise.

[Beccie1011]

@LACraig621 yea but you want them shot for helping their children be them selves so really your being a hypocryte cauise you think im wrong for saying you should be shot for voiceing your opinion your just as bad as me if thats you way of thinking
