A Boy’s Life
Since he could speak, Brandon, now 8, has insisted that he was meant to be a girl. This summer, his parents decided to let him grow up as one. His case, and a rising number of others like it, illuminates a heated scientific debate about the nature of gender—and raises troubling questions about whether the limits of child indulgence have stretched too far.
I experienced so many emotions reading this. A difficult experience for both parents and children, to be sure.

Wow. Incredibly great read. The transgendered community is one of the parts of the GLBT community that I just don’t know a lot about and, as a gay woman and an ally, I really feel like should educate myself more. This was definitely a step in that process.
Thanks for posting it.
