Dr. Warren Throckmorton, associate professor of Psychology at Grove City College in Pennsylvania, said, "If a person believes that faith teaches they should remain the biological gender they were born as, then they would want to work with a counselor and try to accommodate themselves."  But it's difficult for young children; they don't understand, noted Throckmorton, who specialized in children before teaching at Grove City College.

Yeah, I remember reading this article when I checked out the 20/20 message board. Riley's story was certainly a heart-wrenching one, and she was also cute as a button.  :)

Interesting report. Starting to live full time as a girl at such a young age really gives Riley the advantage.
