They start em early in California.....

Proud parents from San Diego have shared
their story of having a transgender son
who became a boy aged just 5-years-old.
Jeff and Hillary Whittington presented a
touching video showing little Ryland's
female-to-male transition as they were
honored at the 6th annual Harvey Milk
Diversity Breakfast last Thursday.
The stirring footage revealed how Ryland
suffered severe hearing problems when she
was just 12-months-old and was fitted
with cochlear implants.
"I am a boy," the long blonde haired
toddler reportedly declared to her parents
after the operation and learning to speak
Despite her room being painted pink and
being dressed in girly outfits, her parents
said she preferred masculine toys and
activities.
Confused as to what to do, the
Whittingtons believed it was a phase that
would soon pass. But, on turning five,
Ryland started concretely rejecting all
things feminine.
"When the family dies, I will cut my hair so
I could be a boy," Ryland reportedly told
her parents, later adding: "Why did God
make me like this?"
Jeff Whittington, a former firefighter-
turned-real estate agent, and wife Hillary
began researching the issue - and soon
decided the answer was that their girl was
transgender.
Terrified to learn about the high suicide
rate associated with transgender people
who feel socially unaccepted, they decided
to properly embrace Ryland's identity.
"Ryland's gender identity was not caused
by our parenting style, family structure or
environmental factors," the couple stated
in the 7-minute montage.
They cut off their infant's long hair, bought
new clothes and started referring to Ryland
as a male. His room was also redecorated.
The footage then showed Ryland playing
soccer and baseball, wearing ties and
dancing with a flower girl at a wedding
reception.
"Relative to the horrific things people have
to endure with their children all over the
world, this is nothing," his parents added.
The video was played before the couple
accepted the event's Inspiration Award,
reports LGBT Weekly.
A short-haired Ryland, dressed in a smart
suit, also took to the stage to say: "My
name is Ryland Michael Whittington. I am
a transgender kid."

That kid is starting life behind the eight ball


I guess I could say the PC thing.. but I won't... parents making such a serous life changing decision based on what a 5 year old says... the kid barely knows the alphabet.. and they do this?...I guess waiting until the kid was old enough to actually comprehend what they were saying was too much to ask?

Many people will say they are good parents.... not me

Shame for using the word 'deformity' when
referring to transgenders.

Their preferences simply do not match
their physiognomy. So they try to get it
right.

No different than the gay community.
Choices, people.
soufie .. You are a beautiful person and I agree with you 100% . ... those who identify as transgender are in fact born with NORMAL anatomy .. That in itself negates the use of the word deformity ... ..absolutely unnecessary .
be honest with yourself dear. being born with two organs is not normal. If it was, we were not even going to talk about it here nor was that lady's membership at the gym going to be suspended. It's just that when we talk about it, certain members of society (like you) perceive this as normal.

I can see it now....An uncouth juicehead strolls into the ladie's locker room and boldly announces...."Hey girls, ya'll into fitness?! How 'bout trying to 'fitness" penis in your mouth?!"
laugh

That being said, it IS Planet Fitness policy. I'd just exercise (no pun intended) some of that good 'ol American capitalism and go somewhere else.

normal anatomy for a female is a vagina,, if you are born with a penis though you allegedly are a female,, you have a deformity

its the very definition


people with tails have 'normal' anatomy for monkeys, but its still a deformity for a person,,,

Ms, from the science perspective you might be "right" but from the Biblica point of view? Woman came from man.
In short the arguement to say if one has two organs is either normal or not...we can't never deny the fact that abnormality exists...if we go deeper in to it, we may even descover that some people here are not abnormal. though the extent of that abnormality matters a lot...that is why we have this topic. I wish you knew what happened there. (case closed now?) ;)
*you're amazing* *hug*

Sorry but Planet Fitness is/was wrong dismissing the person in question,, it doesn't matter what gender or what anatomy the person has,, it should be about who is there tho get fit.

Isn't that the name Planet FITness ,, I think the person should be allowed back in and planet unfitness apologize publicly.

Daniel Harrison: "I'm fine with equality, but I
would not feel comfortable with my wife
changing alone in a locker room with a man,
regardless of what gender he identifies with.
The rights of one community should not
encroach on the rights of another. They
should include a transgender locker room."


But what would the media and Social Justice Warriors have to complain about if such a common sense approach was taken? laugh


but what if the 'woman' with a penis isn't comfortable changing in front of a 'man' with a vagina?
