Good evening.... :D
I have installed this counter thing which helps me 2 monitor how many times my blog has been viewed... :) thank u to my supporters who are conscientiously reading all my entries and I hope 2 write more entertaining stuff.... anywayz... I was watching the opera show on star world yesterday afternoon.... And they were discussing about kids who are going through gender confusion disorders... And they featured 2 cases... abt a 5 yr old boy who feels tat he is actually a girl who is trapped in a boys body... He wants his penis 2 fall off... I'm not making this up... He really wanted his penis to fall off and asked his mother 2 detach it from his body... He also told his mother tat he wants 2 grow breast like her... Sounds scary coming out from a 5 yr old kid's mouth eh? I know... His parents were petrified... He has this tendency 2 wear girls clothes and heels and playing w dolls.... His favourite was Kim possible from the cartoon he enjoys watching... And he even threw a tantrum 2 get his nails painted.... His father is a black man whereas his mother a white... His father constantly disciplines him and takes his dolls away from him... Dad claims tat he wud do anything in e world 2 hear his son tell him 'dad I wan play football...' His mother on e other hand, buys him all this Kim possible dolls... Not that she is encouraging him 2 be an effeminate or anything... just dat she doesnt want to see her son upset... from wat i saw, his dad seemed adamant about seeing his son grow up 2 b a fine young man. so much so dat he has instilled hatred in his son. The son never tells e dad that he loves him... And he always asks his mother 2 wash of e blackness in him.... this is because he feels that being black is e reason why him wanting to be a girl is prohibited... look at the thoughts running in e mind of a child who is just a tender age of 5.... *sigh* i got one thing to say.... Dad.... love ur child regardless of wat he wants to be... accept him e way he is... and mum... 4 god's sake... dun encourage him any further... not only are u making dad look evil, u r making e situation worst den it already is... i may sound like im contradicting myself... u should accept e child instead of reprimanding him... but when u encourage him, it makes him think tat wat he is doing is right.... just leave him be and show him love.... and tell him dat 'see ur brother is a boy.... and he is happy... look at daddy... im a strong man.. dun u wanna be like me darling?' maybe in a gentle approach and as he gets more mature, he will be more comfortable w his gender... rather den feel like a girl trapped in a boy's body.... and after he gets older and he wants 2 go for a sex change operation and when counselling fails, there is nothing tat u can do but still love him e same... even e therapist recommended changing e body den changing e mind.... as in its better 2 change e physical gender den 2 force e child to be wat he doesnt want to be.... it will upset e both e child and his psychological behaviour.... everybody... just stop for a moment and think.... wat if it had happened 2 u when u were younger? and wat if it happens 2 ur child? wat will u do? will u treat him or her e same? think about it.... :) good night....
