I can solve this confusion about male-female identity. If the kid has a penis, he goes to the boys room. If not, the girls room.

This happens to a large number of people, and the subject is so socially awkward that nobody even knows that it exists. That same social awkwardness is the reason that the parents/doctors decide to assign a gender to an infant who can't possibly consent to such a procedure. We assume that gender is a either/or attribute, but it isn't. And we don't know how to react when the lines are blurred. __________________ Thread drift: Another possible outcome of the confusing-gender baby scenario is that the doctors chop off part of the clitoris, to make it look "normal" - and the child grows up to be a female that has no capacity to enjoy a normal sexual exprience. Essentially, this is a form of genital mutilation that people believe happens only in "other" places.

No, I read about it a long time ago in an article in the New Yorker, so I don't have an internet source to site conveniently.
This was mentioned on the first page of this thread, and I'm the only one who responded to it. After that, the person who posted it went psycho.

sexual enjoyment would only get her into trouble anyway. can't trust her with that kind of temptation.

nah, just sarcasm. had a knuckledragger in the lunchroom guffawing about how the study concluding some women don't have a g spot. of course, he'd find it and if he couldn't find it they were obviously rug munchers. that of course led into his bitch of an ex wife cheating on him. she wasn't woman enough for him or some such shit. bring on the chastity belts, blahblahblah.

In an extreme case, such a stance could lead to a little boy mutilating his own genitalia to become the girl he feels he should be. Would you then just chalk him up as a sicko the world is better off without? The school's actions cause no harm to anyone. If they demanded that he behave like a boy, it could.

Wearing a pair of pants and peeing in the boys room is not demanding he act like a boy. He can play with dolls, hand with the girls, read girls books and swap beauty tips for all anybody cares.

He isn't wanting to 'act like a girl' he feels he is a girl.
