AMEN Doc Brown; this could have been myself, back in the 1960s - as an unwanted boy! Thankfully, i missed out by about a generation - but my mom always, and vociferously, always wanted a girl; one she never had - though having come up in a family of three girls, and being a second wife to a father of two. But her two turned out to be both boys, my big-younger brother, and i. I also recall having wanted to be mom's girl, but that is yet another subject. Today i am grateful to be who i am in this cruel and abusive time!

And even ‘if’ we decided to counsel kids, and advise that they wait until fully able to make such a huge decision, the likes of Michael Brown would still be on the front lines of the opposition. This version of ‘Christianity’ is 100% about judgement and division. It is NOTHING to do with kindness, empathy, acceptance, and love. We used to sing a song when I was young ‘they will know we are Christians by our love’. This is what the LGBTQ community needs, NOT the pathetic treatment they get from ‘Christians’ like Michael brown.

People may be exposed to endocrine disruptors through food and beverages consumed, pesticides applied, and cosmetics used. In essence, your contact with these chemicals may occur through diet, air, skin, and water. Even low doses of endocrine-disrupting chemicals may be unsafe. Although scientists have postulated a wide range of adverse human health effects of exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), the nexus of the debate is the concern that prenatal and childhood exposure to EDCs may be responsible for a variety of abnormalities in human sexuality, gender development and behaviors, Gender Dysphoria.

You call allowing some hack mutilate a childs psyche and their body having Empathy , We are talking about (CHILDREN) NOT ADULTS ! Really Now! no where did I say tor·ture them! WE ARE TALKING ABOUT CHILDREN ! YOUR POSITION IS THE "LIKES OF YOU" KNOW WHATS BEST FOR SOMEONE ELSES CHILD AND YOU advocate the state forcing the parent to comply ! REALLY NOW THINK OF SOMETHING YOU ABHOR AND BEING FORCED TO EMBRACE IT ! you have no boundaries, your wanting to help a child is admirable, but you are not helping! projecting your life experience is dysfunctional! and not helpful! my prayer is for all children that have any kind of dysphoria that they find comfort and guidance and not a label "There are studies implicating soy as a possible culprit baby formula thay cause all sorts of reproductive issues !

How can you seriously NOT have empathy for these people??? Just imagine what a day in their life might be like - not to mention having a father who refuses to love you for who you are. IMAGINE WHAT THAT FEELS LIKE. These people are different, and the LAST THING ON EARTH they need is opposition and pushback. They just want to feel loved and that they are ‘OK’. Be kind. Love your neighbour. And by love, this DOES NOT mean throw information back at them that further diminishes them as people who are equally loved by god. LOVE THEM FOR WHO THEY ARE. Please. They are NOT going away.

Yup the classic ‘Christians must ignore any speck of emotion and human experience’. Without that tho, my friend, we truly have NOTHING. How else can we relate to God but through our emotions and experience?? God loved his creation enough to come to earth and join us IN OUR HUMANITY. Quit pretending it doesn’t exist or isn’t important. Be honest, it is allllll we have.
I agree, this is complex stuff, and no one really knows how to best deal with it. But again, gay people ARE NOT going away. Transgender people ARE NOT going away. Grow up, and figure out how to love ALL of God’s children. Love should ALWAYS be our default, but Christians prefer to divide, oppose, and pretend they are ‘better than’. Just stop it. NOW.

Emotion does nothing for critical thinking ! When I said child hood if difficult under .... I was referring to development milestones , puberty and so on!
What you left out is the school is in my opinion, is not supporting the family but injecting its self in the middle undermining the parents the tragedy is the father is made to play the bad guy! Nanny state....on hormones pushing this kid in a direction that has bio ethical gender dysphoria implication that is not settled and cannot truly know the outcomes of a developing child! So many unknowns! It really is irresponsible. I liken it to pushing them off the edge of a cliff and crossing your fingers! Cruelty defined! What needs to happen is make it a crime to tell a child and their parents we know how to help you ! Evil

You said ‘child hood is difficult under the best circumstances’. So can you imagine how much MORE difficult it is for this child? A parent who refuses to see you for who you are??? Devastating, utterly devastating. Thank goodness the mom is accepting. And who’s saying things are ‘broken’?? God created this child exactly as they are, transgender. Is a child born with Down Syndrome or cerebral palsy ‘broken’? Would ANY parent in their right mind try to ‘fix’ a child born this way? No, that would be utterly ridiculous, and again unloving. They would love them dearly, exactly as they are. Parenthood - at any age - is about accepting, and celebrating your child, regardless of your desire to exert control over them.
And what exactly is this ‘dad’ so afraid of? Being punished by God for loving, accepting, and celebrating his transgender child? Being ousted by his Christian friends? Those are pretty twisted motives I might add...

Really Now! I'm Really sorry now but when you make statements like this "Once one truly realizes that we are ALL children of God, these divisions Michael Brown loves to make, are just plain silly and childish. for one Dr Brown is not making divisions You are !
You say once we all realize! that denotes division ! the bone you have to pick is with God, a parent who over identifies with a child that has some sort of mixed up notion based on only God knows why! is not demonstrating love ! that child cannot discern what,who, and why they have the feelings they have ! child hood is difficult under the best circumstances ! why would you alter something that God created and deem it broken and say God messed up ! and think you are the one who should decide based on something you cannot discern! what a mixed up mess! Really Now

There is nothing pathological, or un-true with my comments. True love is loving your child unconditionally, and at the core of their being. This is a pattern that we should learn and model after God’s love for us. This father is seeking to control, dominate, and not allow someone to be who they are. This is far from ‘love’. Gay people are NOT going away. Transgender people are NOT going away. People like Michael Brown need to STOP picking on these people. They are exactly like the rest of us, and deserve love, dignity, and respect. Once one truly realizes that we are ALL children of God, these divisions Michael Brown loves to make, are just plain silly and childish.

I believe "Really Now" is the same person who always shows up on these threads, now using a different name.
"Really Now" saying the father doesn't live his child is the typical pathological lying from that person.

Do not know why the other commenter here does not understand that it is because of love the father does desire his child to transition.

Nope, the real ‘insane madness’ is a father who can’t find a way to love his child, based on his narrow minded views. We raised our kids in the Christian church, both born again and baptized thru their youth group. Our lives were turned upside down when our youngest told us she was gay. But know what? It was time to grow up for me. She’s STILL THE EXACT SAME SOUL and I love her to death and celebrate EVERY bit of her. Gay people aren’t going away. Transgender people aren’t going away. They exist, and WE NEED TO ACCEPT IT. Like I said - time for this ‘dad’ to realize he CAN’T CONTROL PEOPLE, and grow up a bit.

There are no words in the English dictionary that can do adequate justice to describe this insane madness. Has the human God given conscience been totally silenced from what it is trying to say: This is evil and horror that no longer resembles something that is human.

No, the scariest part of this is that someone can’t be loved merely for their ‘personhood’. God, OUR father, loves us at the core of our being and soul. His love for us has NOTHING to do with what is between our legs, or between our ears. This so-called ‘loving dad’ (and Michael Brown) needs to grow up.

The scariest part of this is that someone who is in the position of being a court judge could go this far. It reminds me of the part of Orwell's Novel 1984, where a man's young daughter turns him in to the authorities for thought crime.
