Disagree. He is filled with confusion about ideas he SHOULD NEVER HAVE LEARNED. In elementary schools, they teach kids about this crap. Little boys should not know they can get away with pretending to be a girl. These ideas can mutate in his mind, until he sees everything through them and believes he was born this way.
If you talk to a little boy about torturing hamsters regularly, and he starts doing it, he isn't mentally retarded. It's the power of suggestion.
I agree.
But I'll ask you a question. What if it wasn't the power of persuasion? Or even if it were, this is still an innocent gentle child? Do you think coercing him to change will help? How do you think, let's say, an abused child can go back to normal society trusting humans?
For this instance for this little boy, I think there is a good answer and because he is so young can be helped to feel and act like a boy and grow up as a normal man. Leftist and his parents are going about it all wrong. They want to change society upside down to cater to this abnormality.
Good righteous parents would never allow this. With proper compassion, discipline, religious upbringing, and proper education, this boy is young enough to turn normal and live that way for the rest of his life.
However, compassion is needed to help him. Not punishment and coercion.
