Example Of Article Review On A Boy's Life By Hanna Rosin

I do not see why it is not an acceptable solution to let such children dress as they want and play with whatever toys they want without making this contingent on a sex change process. It seems to me that this may be why there are more boys than girls with this problem: girls can get away with playing with "boy" toys and wearing "boy" clothes without it being anthologized.
Why can’t Brandon simply be a boy who wants to wear dresses and have long hair? That doesn't make him any less a biological male. This seems to me to be no problem. Girl wants to play with trucks and wear pants. So let them. Boy wants to play with dolls and wear dresses. So let them. No medical intervention required. It's those around the child who are expecting sex and gender roles to align perfectly that are creating the difficulty here. There is nothing wrong with these children.
I think the reason Hannah Rosin wrote this piece and the point she was to trying to bring to light is that these children are not transvestites, they just want to be the opposite sex as much as possible, not just dress as one. When they reach puberty after no intervention, they develop all the characteristics of the sex they do not identify with. This causes great distress and in the past often led to suicide.
Transvestite is a term that tends to have negative connotations. Yes, the children mentioned in this article may well be transsexual, and allowing them to live as the sex they feel they are and subsequently have puberty blocking treatment, is probably all positive. But there are undoubtedly some boys who like wearing dresses or jewelry or playing with female friends or girls' toys but who are not transsexual, and will - like this article says - grow up instead to be gay or bisexual males, or, just more sensitive, artistic type straight men. I think immediately encouraging a girlish boy to think he is a girl could in some cases be as unhelpful as telling him to act like a proper boy and not a sissy and play football and play with toy guns, or whatever (which would just make him repress his more feminine tastes and feel conflicted about them, and then maybe question his gender again in later life) instead of just letting him discover who he is without too much pressure one way or another.
I totally resonate her views and opinions because I believe children are different and we should let them be, accept and support them instead of pushing them in to ideas that we as the society feel they need to embrace for them to be accepted or live comfortably.
