They are often forced to live in the shadows, condemned as freaks.

But now one transgender child has spoken out about her unhappiness at feeling like she had being born into the wrong body.

Danann, who was born male but now dresses as a little girl and has long hair, says she was bullied at school and felt hurt by other children telling her she was a boy.

Thank goodness that today children are helped to be who theyr are internally. Myself i was put in a mental hospital in the 60's as a young teen for wearing girls clothes. Today i am over 14 years post surgery and still a neovirgin giving myself time to regrow as the child i never had a chance to be.

Anderson Cooper is set to discuss the social and emotional issues faced by both transgender children and their parents on today's installment of his daytime talk show.

According to his website, Anderson "speaks with experts to get a better understanding of the medical and psychological aspects of transgenders, and how these families are faced with new scientific options that would allow their kids to change their gender." He will also chat with Domaine Javier, a transgender woman recently expelled from college for applying as a female, and Kyle Allums, the first transgender Division 1 basketball player.

I really applaud these parents for trying to get it out there and make sure people understand that this is a real condition.


However this child is very very young and I know that a bunch of bigots are going to totally misconstrue the situation.

They need less on how the child feels from a very young age and more on explaining the difference between GID and Transsexuals.  IMO.
