I don't see why everyone is getting worked up over this. I saw a segment on the Today show a couple weeks ago about this kid, and he seems perfectly fine with it. He recognizes the consequences of his plan (as much as a 2nd grader could, I suppose).

He knows full well that he's going to be teased over it, and he's prepared for it.

No child is prepared for teasing, especially an 8yr old.
While I believe in children being allowed to express themselves, in no way would I be ok with this.

It would be interesting to know what influences may have brought the child to this choice. Did they cover the family and living style on the Today show?

"HIGHLANDS RANCH – The issue of being transgender usually pops up with students in high school. However, a 2nd grade boy wants to dress as a girl and wants teachers and students to address him with a girl's name.

"As a public school system, our calling is to educate all kids no matter where they come from, what their background is, beliefs, values, it doesn't matter," said Whei Wong, Douglas County Schools spokesperson.

Wong says the staff at one of Douglas County's schools is preparing to accommodate the student and answer questions other students might have. In order to protect the child as much as possible, 9NEWS has chosen not to reveal his school or other names that might identify the child.

"I see this as being a very difficult situation to explain to my daughter to explain why someone would not want to be the gender they were born with," said Dave M.

His daughter will be in the same class as the student.

The student had attended this same school in years prior, but had left to go to classes in another district for about two years. The transgender student will be returning to what is the child's home school. Dave M. thinks classmates will recognize the change. "

I received red karma because I said I thought this was wrong since the child is only 8 years old. It said who am I to judge??? Isnt that what everyone is doing? Making a judgement??? the kid is 8 years old - my son thought he was Luke Skywalker when he was 3 but that didnt warrent me to have the pre-school call him Luke and offer to hold his lightsaber during recess.

It should not be aloud. The parents are insane if they let him do this at this age. If he was over 18 then fine if that's what he still wants but at 8 come on, they have all different stuff to worry about.
