From the September 18, 2009 Sun, one of the British tabloids (which make most American newspapers look pretty respectable), so take it for what it is worth:
Oh yes, sex change surgery makes so much sense--and especially for someone that age! I've said it before: sex change surgery makes homosexuality look downright normal and healthy.A BOY aged 12 turned up at school as a GIRL - after changing sex during the summer holidays.
Teachers called an emergency assembly to order fellow pupils to treat him as female.
The lad, whose parents have changed his name to a girl's by deed poll, arrived in a dress with long hair in ribboned pigtails. He is preparing for sex-swap surgery.
Angry parents told yesterday how their kids were left tearful and confused after school staff announced the boy pupil was now a girl.
They said the head teacher should have informed them in advance of the "sex change" so they could prepare their sons and daughters and inform them about gender issues.
They added that the school's failure to do so had left the boy to suffer cruel taunts and bullying.
One mum said: "They behaved appallingly by throwing this hand grenade into the room and then leaving the inevitable questions about it for unprepared parents.
"Maybe we could have explained sexual politics and encouraged our kids to be more sensitive if we'd had a chance to be involved."
Over the summer holidays his parents changed his name to a female one by deed poll. He is preparing to undergo hormone treatment and surgery - and could become the world's youngest sex-swap patient in the coming years.
UPDATE: A reader points out that some people regard circumcision as bad. This is irrevocable, lifelong mutilation of a confused young boy.
