i dont know that this child is transgender or even old enough to understand. he should probably be taken to a child pyschologist.


At what point where you old enough to understand your own gender?  I don't think age has anything to do with it.  This boy likes playing with dolls and dressing in girls commonly made for females.  His gender qiute clearly appears to be feminine in nature, he doesn't seem to be subject to a whole lot of bullying, why is a psychologist needed?

 

My perception of your post is that you're implying that transgenderism is a disorder and that the child needs rectifying.



My perception of your posts is that because this child likes dolls, he must be transgendered.


You left out that he wears girls clothes, engages in feminine activities, and wishes to be in the girl scouts (and clearly not for sexual reasons as may be implied).  I'm not really sure if you're just trying to be insulting or if you don't know what the definition of transgender is so I'll post it for you : "Transgender is the state of one's "gender-identity" (self-identification as woman, man, neither or both) not matching one's "assigned sex" (identification by others as male, female or intersex based on physical/genetic sex)."

 

gender identity: "A gender identity is the way in which an individual identifies with a gender category, for example, as being either a man or a woman, or in some cases being neither"

 

This child's GI is clearly outside of the general norm and fits within transgenderism.  Whether he indentifies as woman or androgyne (third gender, inbetween man and woman) is not clear though he appears to identify more with women.
