Quote: “It just comes down to love. I mean, if you love your child then you should do anything in the world for your child. And it’s as simple and as pure as that.”

This is not parental love. This is misguided, tragic indulgence. It’s as simple and pure as that. Parental love prepares a child for adulthood–momentary happiness has little to do with it.

Parental love sees beyond what a child currently wants, or thinks he wants, and gives him what he needs. What this child needs is unconditional love and a chance for his brain to mature and his body to fully develop.

It’s far beyond the comprehension of a child to see himself as an adult. To a child of nine, eighteen is a lifetime away. Neither Keat nor his parents can fathom what his life will be like as an adult. The physical and mental consequences of a chemically altered body through puberty cannot be fully understood and weighed.

What if Keat had Body Integrity Identity Disorder? The same feelings of being born wrong exist. A person with this disorder believes he or she would be happier without the appendages they were born with. Would these parents still be good parents by indulging this disorder with amputation before puberty?

I do not understand how this is legal. Simply awful. Here is a woman Air Force veteran in the U.S. charged with FELONY child endangerment for leaving her children in the car to go to a job interview (children were endangered but not harmed), and there is this couple purposely mutilating their child and being lionized for it. World has gone mad.

I know I'm not the only person who has met a child who earnestly thought they should be the other sex in childhood, and as soon as the puberty hormones hit, their sex organs popped and they magically became attracted to the opposite sex.

I've also known adults in gay or lesbian relationships who one day met someone of the opposite sex, fell in love, got married and had children and left all that other stuff behind. Ran into one of them whom I hadn't seen in a dozen years while registering my child for elementary school, and (he/she) took me aside and begged me not to tell anyone about the former life for the sake of (his/her) child at the school. Luckily for (him/her), I try to avoid gossip.

The parents of that poor child in the article are both crazy and evil.
