Give the kid a break. It's bad enough trying to figure out who you are in the world, but add to that the difficulties inherent in having a gender identity that isn't considered the norm by most people and those pronlems are magnified ad infinitum.

Whne th world meets you with hostility it becomes easy to expect hostility, even where there is none. Comments like the above do not help this.

Whilst I am urging Ibby to be more understanding of the posters in this thread, I'd also like to suggest that people in this thread be a little more understanding of his perspective.
