(Body Shock) Age 8 And Wanting A Sex Change (Male-to-Female transsexual) Part 3 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 love when the grandma closes by saying, "Can guarantee that Chris will NOT get anyone pregnant!" lol

I disagree with this. I wore boys cloths. I chased girls around the playground. I say on the "boys" side of the cafeteria. People thought I was a boy, and when I realized girls were considered differently in society (around age 8) I cried for months. Today, I am glad I did not go trans. Given the choice I would have. I thought I could not be happy as a female, but today I have learned to embrace it. I do not think people should be able to go on hormones until they are 18.

Stop fucking say "she" or "wants to be a boy"! He's already a fucking boy, and he was born a boy, except without penis!

Typically there are many different and diverse things which may inevitably go wrong genetically during the birthing process, whereas an altered dissemination of genetic material and mixing of altered chromosomes may be abnormally intertwined, thus forming an individual of multiple traits. This structural change in the physiological bio-dynamics of the meiosis processes will render such offspring to characteristically become conjointly female and male innately. Homosexuals, Transgender, etc.

If a lot of you don't agree with transgender people, then why the hell are you on here in the first place? EVERYONE is beautiful and unique in their own way. You can't say it's the parents' fault. It isn't, nor is it the children's. Stop being a bigot and saying this is sick because it's not. Stop saying bible verses because you're only making yourself look like an even bigger bigot. It's THEIR lives, not YOURS. Worry about your own life. Holy freak, don't like it, Get the hell outta here!

the bitch narrator said, "she started dating." Bailey is a HE.
