'CLEVELAND - When words failed her, Deena expressed herself the old fashioned way - she screamed and sobbed.
She was never more fluent as the morning she graduated to big-girl panties.

As the 3 year old convulsed with emotion, her mother finally understood.
Deena wanted to wear boy's underwear, not panties.'

<4 is a true transsexual, and 4 or >4 is secondary transsexualism?

Interesting.

Boy oh boy, there's just nothing more offensive than people who take a moving story about a small child's intense pain and sorrow, how beautiful and supportive his parents are, and how positive a turn his life is taking and turns it into a diatribe as inane as 'who's a true transsexual?' Is being right that important to those people?
