WHY?

[cannongal]

I get that there are those who are born and feel like they're in the wrong body, but I don't understand parents who say they are letting their kids choose their own gender. You're male or your female. I'm a tomboy, but I've never felt like I should have been born a guy.

I think that you meant to post this on the gender identity thread,  not on the face tat thread.

Anyway , choosing your own gender is just another ploy to confuse the fuck out of the boomers.   I  have a friend who teaches high school,  and every year there's at least one student who brings in a note that says something to the effect of  " I  know my child's legal name is John,  but she wants to be called Alexis this year,   do it,  or I'll sue you "   My friend  is about fixing to have a nervous breakdown,   since the child in question looks like a boy, wears boys clothing,  but wants to be called a feminine name.  Go figure.
