Good Grief, a 7 year old transgender with transgender "dad"

hmm, the kid "knew" at 18 months. I'm sorry but I let people live their lives how they see fit but you can't convince me that this parent is not having an adverse affect on this kid. Flame suit now being put on.

The father of a 7-year-old born a girl said the second-grader, prohibited from using the boys bathroom at school in McIntosh County, has never fit traditional gender roles.

At 18 months, the child told Tommy Theollyn, 28, "I'm a boy."

The child's father, who gave birth a year before beginning his own gender transition, said he wants school officials in this rural southeast Georgia county to view his son the way the child has always viewed himself.

"I'm fighting to get a second grader back in school," said Theollyn, who pulled his son out of Todd Grant Elementary after his teacher forced the youth to use the girls bathroom.

The 28-year-old Atlanta native on Thursday will present a petition to the McIntosh Board of Education containing roughly 40,000 signatures supporting Theollyn and his son, nicknamed "D."

"My child is transgender; put simply this means he looks like and identifies as a boy, but has the body parts assigned to girls," Theollyn writes in the petition posted Aug. 24 on Change.org. "Forcing him to use a bathroom that does not match his presentation effectively discloses his status as a transgender child and thus endangers him."

D. effectively came out as a boy last year, Theollyn told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. He even began telling classmates he was trans.

"Last year, we reached a very distinct and definite point when [his son] identified as a boy," said Theollyn, adding D. typically dresses as a boy.

There was little controversy at the time because D. was attending a more liberal private school in Atlanta, his father said. Financial problems forced Theollyn and his son south to McIntosh County: population 14,333.

Theollyn met preemptively with his son's teacher, who said she would accommodate D., allowing him to use the boys facility when it was unoccupied.

After D. was told to use the girls bathroom instead, Theollyn arranged a meeting with McIntosh school superintendent William Hunter, who threatened to alert the state's Child Protective Services division about the situation. The superintendent did not return calls for comment from the AJC; Theollyn said CPS was never contacted.

"All I'm asking for is a conversation," said Theollyn, adding he understands why people may have a difficult time accepting his son's situation. "I'm not offended that people are concerned about the welfare of my child. Their questions are valid."

Theollyn said he has taken D. to a child psychologist and pediatricians who verified his son has reached his own conclusions about his gender identity.

"We sought help as a family to find out what we should do, how we should handle this," he said. "People should know I'm not the one who told him he's trans. That came from him."

The American Psychological Association advises parents of "gender-atypical" children to work with schools to address their needs and ensure their safety.

"In most cases it is not helpful to simply force the child to act in a more gender-typical way," the APA said.

Theollyn said he's talked with other parents of trans children who've faced similar problems, though overall more people are understanding of the challenges those kids face.

"Things seem to be changing," Theollyn said. "Kids are coming out younger and they're being heard earlier."

But he acknowledges McIntosh County may not be as open to transgender persons as, say, San Francisco or Atlanta.

"This is Step 1," Theollyn said. "The next step will be to take on issues of bullying that will inevitably arise."

D. understands the situation, said his father.

"I'd say he's pretty well-aware," Theollyn said. "He talks intelligently about it."

Mostly, "he just wants to go to school and be safe," he said.

I think the 'dad' needs to be committed, and the kid will be receiving a visit from Child Services.

 

Child abuse, which will be hailed as a victory by the Sissy/Queer/Lesbo community.

The freak destroyed that poor child. He should be decapitated.

 

This world just get sicker and sicker man.

 

"At 18 months, the child told Tommy Theollyn, 28, "I'm a boy."

The child's father, who gave birth a year before beginning his own gender transition,"

This is surreal.

It's like something out of a bad dream.

The child is thinking about sex at 18 months?

Really?

And the second line is really crazy.

When we hear that the child's "father" gave birth to her I can only feel sorry for the poor child to be cursed with a freak for her parent.

 

The kid identifies as a boy b/c the dad is a mental patient.

The parents did this to the child. Some kids think they are spiderman, others superman. This is no different. What should have happened is the parents, if they were normal human beings themselves, told the child to straighten up instead of nurturing this insanity.

Have y'all ever watched the shows that come on about transgenders? The parents are worthless. Instead of slapping their kids upside the head and tellin them to act right, they nurture the delusions and then wonder why their lives are (*)(*)(*)(*)ed up.

 

Good lord...

Would the father have supported an 18 monther who told him he was a smoker? lol...of course not.

Parents need to be parents, and a Transgender "dad" should throw a red flag up immediately.

 

So transgender people are now 'mental patients'?

Promoting violence againts kids - lovly. What a piece of art work we have here.

The more and more I head from the right, Im glad Im no longer a RepubliKKKan.

 

Um ya..

People who cut off their penises are OBVIOUSLY sick and mentally unstable.

 

What else would any reasonable person call girls who think they are boys?

 

People who are born in the wrong body.

 

Sterilization anyone???

 

how can you be born in the "wrong body"

is there some type of alien abduction done in the womb?

look, I understand your agenda. But at 18 months?? gimme a big frikkin break will ya

 

That's just liberal mumbo jumbo.

 

.......

Im not defending the kid. Im defending the 28 y/o who had the surgery. Im defending the surgery itself.

And pointing out he lunicy in these statements:

At 18 months, you are just becomming aware of your surroundings, let alone yourself, let alone your sexuality.

 

An effect? Perhaps. Adverse? Well, that is a subjective statement. What is adverse about it? Is it immoral? Subjective. Some how bad? Subjective.

Now is this relegating the child to an adolescence that will be full of ridicule, especially in such and advanced place as rural Georgia? Probably.

 

Yes, they are.

And I meant "slap upside he head" figuratively?????? Jesus.....lol.

 

BS..noone is born into the wrong body, you just have people claiming they should have been something else.
You are exactly what you are at birth.

(Omitting those rare freak genetic incidents where someone might be born with multiple gentalia or none at all of course.)

 

Um... No 18 month old child I know is concerned about their sexuality....lol. Just sayin.....

 

Absolutely! How else do you explain it?

 

No, these are people who THINK they were born in the wrong body. It is a mental issue.

 

Southern California has more racial tension and other bigotry than any southern town.

 

But the little girl is 7 years old now.

And after 7 years of brainwashing by her crazy mother she probably does think she is a boy now.

That still doesn't entitle her to pee in the boys restroom but it does explain her personal confusion.

 

This is nothing short of child abuse to put a child through this before they even hit puberty should be a crime.

The article continues the cross dresser lie.

IF YOU ARE MALE YOU CANNOT BARE CHILDREN. YOU ARE A WOMAN.

The lies the far left tells are so destructive the damage is almost incalculable.

 

I'm not going to get into the rights or wrongs about how you or I engage in sex. What is right for me isn't right for you and vice versa but we are adults.

I don't let my personal choices affect my view on this. An 18 month old kid is already discussing sex with a transgender "dad" ??????? Do you really find that credible? This "dad" needs to be investigated and I'm going to be brutally frank: the "dad" has messed the kid up real bad.

Come on, 18 months? Even 2 years, 3 years, 4 years etc? Do you really believe kids those age are thinking of sex?

Oh but wait, it's evil to tell the kid

"no dear, you don't have a wee wee so you must use the girls room"

How in the heck is that harming the kid?

I think the "dad" has his own demons and "he" is now messing up the kid.
