Can 6 year old boys really question their assigned gender and be taken seriously?

Can 6 year old boys express much regarding their feelings? If we are a product of our environment, is it possible to let a child “express” themselves? That child is just regurgitating what he’s been exposed to – isn’t that how we learn to talk?

This story in the Tecumseh Herald, only adds to the confusion in refusing to call the child by his name, only addressing him as “Boy.” Does anyone get the irony here?

However, the broader question I want to ask regarding gender bending and sexuality is, how should we as Christians handle this? We know God made us male and female, and the two shall become one via marriage of which Jesus spoke, but that doesn’t resonate with the crowd that is going against the traditional grain of gender and sexuality.

How does a Christian deal with this issue? Showing God’s love is my default answer. God’s love and His gift of salvation are far more important than how a person is living or parenting.

Let God do the convicting in these other complicated issues. I’m not God. I’m too busy dealing with my own struggles and sin to worry about anyone else.
