Sex-change at 12 Years-Old!?!

UPDATE: Right after posting, I read this:

"If you [erroneously] exalt the individual and make emotions the path to truth, then whatever you feel most strongly will be considered both good and necessary for growth. ... That is why the unpardonable sin in today's culture is to either 'deny' or suppress your emotions. Emotions point to needs, and to deny your needs is to deny something God-given and God-like." [But] "just because I feel a 'need'...doesn't mean that this desire is really a 'God-given need,' a 'legitimate need,' or a 'primal need.' Perhaps what I am calling 'need' is really disappointment or grief, or perhaps it is my demandingness and lust" (Ed Welch, When People are Big and God is Small, 87, 89).

Check out this story of a 14 year-old German boy named Tim who convinced his parents he was really a girl, pictured above, named Kim trapped in a boy's body.

Thanks to $40,000 in treatments this boy now has the parts of a girl. If you read the story, did you notice that the pronouns in the article changed after the therapy is described?

What happened to parents who say "No," or "Are you nuts?" What happened to psychiatrists who say "What do you watch on TV?" or "How is your home life?" So much for "He's a teenager. He'll grow out of it."

What makes a man male? His parts or his nature? In other words, just because his parts changed, does that mean he's no longer male? If a man lost his "equipment" from cancer, would he no longer be male? What if he lost it, and wore dresses and makeup? If a woman lost all of her "equipment" in an accident and wore men's clothing and talked with a deep voice, would she cease being female? I think not.

What did people do who thought like Tim before sex-change operations? They fought the thoughts in their mind with reality, or gave into them and were miserable.

My point: Just because you think or feel something, doesn't make it true not matter how strong the thought or feeling is. So much for self-control. If I feel it, it must be true?

The reality is Kim is Tim, and just because Tim took hormones to change his body's appearance, and just because he wears women's clothing, doesn't make him Kim. In fact, nothing can make Tim Kim.
