This whole article, if it is real, makes me feel deeply uncomfortable with how this woman has instilled such an unhealthy understanding of sex in her daughter so early on. She's not a boy, she's reacting to the limitations and expectations imposed upon us for being female.

"Shopping there felt deceitful, wrong, like a lie." Seriously!? I find the association forced between gender, sex, and clothing so ridiculous. My husband and I swap clothes all the time, sometimes he wears my flannels, t-shirts, trousers and overshirts, sometimes I wear his, big deal. Literally nobody cares, I've never received a look for being in the men's section of Uniqlo or Zara or Savers.

Her language strikes me as someone who has a personality disorder. I think there are kids out there who are suffering from a form of medical child abuse by parents who push for this. I think there’s more Munchausen by Proxy/factitious disorder with kids who are transitioning at young ages than people may realize.

Look up Coy Mathis. He's not the family's first "special" child.
