    in utero ... female brain, male genitalia ..... from birth ... the child knows what it is.

    The developmental mismatch idea draws support from two sets of findings. Animal studies demonstrated that the genitals and the brain acquire masculine or feminine traits at different stages of development in utero, setting up the potential for hormone fluctuations or other factors to put those organs on different tracks. (See “Sex Differences in the Brain,” The Scientist, October 2015.) And human studies have found that, in several regions, the brains of trans people bear a greater resemblance to those of cis people who share the trans subjects’ gender than to those of the same natal sex.

      The boy was 3 years old and was told by his mommy he was a girl. He shouldn't have to suffer because his mother is batpoop nuts and is drinking the koolaid of the social engineering morons.

      And, it's amazing that you can know all this about this family from way over there in your beautiful little ferren country.

        Scans prove there's no such thing as a 'male' or 'female' brain

        You may have read that having a male brain will earn you more money. Or maybe that female brains are better at multitasking. But there is no such thing as a female or male brain, according to the first search for sex differences across the entire human brain. It reveals that most people have a mix of male and female brain features. And it also supports the idea that gender is non-binary, and that gender classifications in many situations are meaningless.

        “This evidence that human brains cannot be categorised into two distinct classes is new, convincing, and somehow radical,” says Anelis Kaiser at the University of Bern, Switzerland.

        The idea that people have either a “female” or “male” brain is an old one, says Daphna Joel at Tel Aviv University in Israel. “The theory goes that once a fetus develops testicles, they secrete testosterone which masculinises the brain,” she says. “If that were true, there would be two types of brain.”

        To test the theory, Joel and her colleagues looked for differences in brain scans taken from 1400 people aged between 13 and 85. The team looked for variations in the size of brain regions as well as the connections between them. In total, the group identified 29 brain regions that generally seem to be different sizes in self-identified males and females. These include the hippocampus, which is involved in memory, and the inferior frontal gyrus, which is thought to play a role in risk aversion.

        “There are not two types of brain”
        When the group looked at each individual brain scan, however, they found that very few people had all of the brain features they might be expected to have, based on their sex. Across the sample, between 0 and 8 per cent of people had “all-male” or “all-female” brains, depending on the definition. “Most people are in the middle,” says Joel.

        This means that, averaged across many people, sex differences in brain structure do exist, but an individual brain is likely to be just that: individual, with a mix of features. “There are not two types of brain,” says Joel

          The kid suffers when its parents fail to understand what it is telling them it is. The difficulty is not underestimated and specialist support is needed in such cases. Mum is doing the right thing.


          At trial, Dr Georgulas said psychologists had recommended that she allow the child "to present in whatever way they wish".

          "The interviews with teachers, the counsellor's notes and records, Luna herself and Luna's brother all state Luna has always wanted to be a girl... It's not being forced upon her," Ms Meaders said.

          Therapists and counsellors who testified confirmed Dr Georgulas' account. Teachers at school call the child Luna.

            The very fact that you support the mum shows how batpoop crazy she must be.

              My work colleagues and I are constantly reminded that every day is a learning day. This is one of those things.

                It is not surprising to me in the least that you have to be reminded daily.

                    Mum has been spending the past 4 years, literally daily, convincing him he is a girl.

                          Nope, thanks to disgust with Trump and a younger more educated populace. Texas was once blue, I believe in the 70's, so it need have nothing to do with immigration.

                            I don't suppose you have a cite to back up this claim.

                            Texas was once blue, I believe in the 70's, so it need have nothing to do with immigration.
                            That was back when the Democrats were the "God and Country" party, Jim. Back when guys like my Dad were proud Democrats. Also, there were fewer and fewer conservative Democrats into the 80's and 90's. Interestingly enough, another factor was that there were a lot of conservatives "immigrating"* from other states to Texas. (the oil boom)

                            *since we're doing an immigration theme
