HAGELIN: Teach your children 'transgendered' truth

ANALYSIS/OPINION:

Culture challenge of the week: Child abuse and "transgendered" tykes

When is a boy a "girl"? Or vice-versa.

Several new articles in a recent issue of the journal Pediatrics advance the idea that young children can self-identify as "transgendered" and should be treated as such, with hormone therapy to suppress puberty until sex-change surgery becomes possible.

And an increasing number of doctors, both here and abroad, display a willingness to experiment with puberty-suppressing drugs for children — treating them like guinea pigs, altering their bodies and treating their God-given sexuality as a pathology to be fixed. It is nothing short of child abuse.
