A TRANSGENDER teen will be the first child in her state to have gender reassignment surgery covered by Medicaid. Trinity Neal, from Wilmington, Delaware, knew that she was living in the wrong body when she was three years old, before she had even started elementary school. Now aged 16, Trinity has been living authentically as a girl for over 12 years. Trinity made history by becoming the first minor in Delaware to have their medical and surgical transition covered by Medicaid, a state program that offers health insurance coverage for lower-income families.

When I was 4... I didn't even know i existed
lol same here
My first memory is at 20
HZKatherine rightt
So sorry for you
HZKatherine 😂
Why is Medicare paying for this when my son need insulin to continue living and he is on a fixed Income and they charge is too much for him to pay so he rations it and his quality of life is waining. She wants to be a girl and the government will pay, and he just wants to live and they won't help...seems just a little unfair to me
Very unfair!
*Medicaid- even worse. Medicare is much better funded and has better coverage for individuals.
Has your son checked with his pharmacy to see if they have a diabetic plan to cover strips and lancets? My husband has Medicare and he pays $8 for three months insulin and $3 for 90 days of 2 oral meds.
I am pro LGBTQ+ but I do not think that's fair at all. We all deserve equal support. I wish your son the best.
@charly jarrett Immature and Ignorant! Awesome!
I’d like to see a case study of kids who didn’t transition and did transition and how they are as adults
There are plenty. You can go to a community college and learn all about psychology.
ThePassiveMilk lol😂but I’m actually being serious like does this damage them? Or is it perfectly fine. This is so extreme I don’t understand how parents don’t look at case studies
@@RmnGnzlz do you have a source? As the statistics and research I've seen displays a greater correlation between suicide and not transitioning.
@@Someothershi would recommend looking on Google scholar and reading for academic journals. Also case studies are really not a good thing to look at for various reasons such as a lack of population validity.
@Toi's World Trust you? No. They are kids being brainwashed by their parents.
No life-altering decision can be decided by a 4-year-old.
It's not life altering because puberty blockers aren't permanent 💕
SweetieGuySans it’s sounds like it could be pretty psychologically damaging if a child wanted to de transition later in life. It could also stunt bone growth and cause fertility problems
SweetieGuySans they are permanent idiot
a 17 year old can't consent to sex, they're still a child. A 4 year old can consent to a life altering decision changing their gender. Society is wild sometimes
not without an enabler.
I'm shocked that an insurance company would cover something like this... Meanwhile I can't get them to cover medical things I need to survive.
Schneed Especially Medicaid- a notoriously underfunded and generally terrible government insurance

yo you cant even get a tattoo until youre 18 but this is legal? okay
Sure you can get a tattoo at 16. You get it the same way this girl got surgery: parental consent.
Conformist138 but this girl is nowhere close to being 16
Conformist138 or at leastnshe wasnt when she started transitioning
@@written-postcards777 I guess I didn't understand what part you meant. Before age 13, she only socially transitioned so there was no permanent change to her body and then at 13 she got puberty blockers. Like all meds, there is always a chance of side effects, but blockers also aren't really a permanent change--if she went off of them without starting HRT, she would have continued her natural development and experienced male puberty. The doctor pointed out that permanent treatments can be started at 16, which is how old Trinity is now and what I assumed you were responding to since that's sort of a 'point of no return'. Regardless, every step of the way is via parental consent, the same as a minor getting a tattoo.
Actually u can get a tattoo at 15&16 with parental concentt
A child cannot give consent. Period. If you need to be told to eat your veggies then you sure as hell can’t decide to cut off parts of your body.
Nobody knows anything at 4 years old. I wouldn't even trust a teenager to know what sexual preference or gender Preference they have. When you're 18 then you can figure it out for yourself. But you don't poison children with medication based on their whims. This is child abuse, nothing short. Any doctor who gives this kind of medications to minors should be put in jail
Lady Airam - Why - just because YOU never felt the parts between your legs were wrong? WHO made you god and could pass judgement on a child who feels their body is a lie?
@@77Avadon77 You can't exactly start puberty blockers when you're 18...and have already gone through puberty. That would call for hormone replacements; which essentially do the same thing; but takes longer and would have to reshape the body after already going through puberty.
Why go through the added step if she has been deadset on this decision for so long?
Tell that to a pregnant child. Like 12 and up. Sometimes even eleven I've heard of getting pregnant. No one can make them get rid of the baby. I'm thinking this is kind of the same thing.
@@applestix3491 Actually the record is a 8 yr old who got pregnant by her 10 yr old boyfriend - turned out neither knew how babies were made. Who do you blame? imagine your mother is just 9 yrs older than you are.
I think it's absolute bull that Medicaid will cover a four-year-olds transition but not other life-saving medication.
She's not four years old anymore, she's 16, though yes i do agree that its absurd that they don't pay for very important medication and surgeries
I was just about to say the same thing! I agree completely.
I work as a nurse and the fight that my patients have to go thru to get their medicine or supplies is unreal smh
Nicole Boynton Girl same! I’m in nursing school but I’m also a type one diabetic. I vividly remember being a teenager and having to reuse needles and quarter the doses of insulin because my meds were too expensive without insurance. The American healthcare system needs help ASAP.
taylor views smh it’s sooooo sad. I have patients in home care who reuse their catheters. I know patients who have to pick their meds or food for the month. Even help with home care nursing and care is repulsive. It’s terrible where the health care system is going and how our money is spent

@@OriginalGaPeach you know
@Reece Robinson When they have the capacity to reason, comprehend, and articulate their state of being. Funny how no one takes what a child says seriously until what they say and do conveniently contorts to ideology. Children think they're literally superheroes, fantasy creatures, and have super powers. They don't even have sully developed brains. Screwing with that because of ideology is child abuse.
She's still immature. I can tell her thought processes are mostly influenced by her mom. It's not that I don't believe what she's saying though.
Disclaimer: I’m not saying that this is the same, at all!
But at 19 the only thing I thought that would make me happier and more confident was to have breast augmentation surgery to fix my nonexistent breasts, but now 8 years later I wish I hadnt. I was so sure and so determined and so steadfast
People change and I can only imagine having a surgery as irreversible as gender reassignment done, and then change your mind...
I'm sorry you regret that but your point is exactly right. Life experience (time) can vastly change one's perspective. I personally think mid 20s might be the earliest that people should transition because of such influences because by then you've actually lived life long enough to more or less orient and know yourself so you're less likely to reverse/regret such a decision than say when you were 21.
I said it in my OP but being trans must be a living hell for those who are but a wait and see approach is likely the best way to prevent the most harm, on average given the naivety of youth. There's no easy answer to this.

Yes. I think her mother has some kind of munchausen syndrome and has forced it on her child until she believed it.

Honestly, health insurance options in America suckkkkk. I’ve had diabetes since I was 4 ( I’m 22 now) and hypertension since I was 13. Once I hit 18, I was abandoned and had no idea how to get coverage. I was buying knock off brand insulin from Walmart. 🙄 It took me being so depressed and finding out my kidneys have failed for me to get Medicaid and Medicare. Smfh.
That is so sad
That is absolutely ridiculous 😕
I don't support medicaid coverage for SRS and hormones!
Canada isnt much better. Yes we can see a regular doctor for free but everything else is a charge.
I can't see without glasses but I have to pay out of pocket for an eye doctor and glasses.
Dental health has been should time and time again to be important for someones over all health, I haven't seen a dentist in 7 years because I can't afford even a cleaning at$200+.
Those that mandate who does and doesn't get service covered needs to take a step back and reassess priorities.
I hope that your health is somewhat better now.
@@grobanite4ever85 SRS, horomones, etc. Are all necessary in treatment of gender dysphoria, a very real and very serious neurologucal condition that manifests as the person's brain gender not matching their biological sex. This is something recognized by medical professionals. The theory is that it is caused when the brain's structure develops as one gender but the body as the other sex. Gender dysphoria can cause an onslaught of other mental issues if untreated, such as schizophrenia, depression, anxiety, etc. OCD and autism are also very common with people with gender dysphoria, making up 40% of all people with gender dysphoria. Medical professionals are in support of insirance paying for transitioning, since transitioning is the only proven treatment there is.
I feel like they made the disicion for her
They did periodt smh
decision*
absolutely. if you are 4 you dont even know pemdas. in no way would you know how to make life changing decisions like this

Does nobody see how fuckin backwards that is?
Dam i couldn't get insurance or medicaid to cover my dental implant because it was considered cosmetic and they only cover extractions. Its my front tooth I paid out of pocket for my "cosmetic" procedure. But it was necessary I wasn't gonna not have a front tooth the rest of my life. How did her mom get Medicaid to do cosmetic surgery. And at such a young age?? Something isn't right...
Lori CastroDrkkqqk this is exactly my problem right now!!! It doesn’t seem fair or right at all. And for something that is much less invasive to not be covered is crazy to me.

I didn’t even know what money was used for when I was 7.. but a 4 year old knows gender? 🤔
I was taking my parent money when I was 2. Telling my mom that I had found it.
Sportslives 3699 🤦🏾♀️ my comment went over your head.. I’m not being literal
Four-year-olds very much know gender. They have been soaking up gender differences all around them. When I've jokingly put on a wig and called myself a princess, or described having a boyfriend to children that age, I am usually very quickly "corrected" ("but you're a boy!"). So they know there are these boxes we put certain features or behaviors in, so some kids (transgender ones) can of course reach the conclusion they don't fit in the box society wants to put them in based on some genitals.
omargosh couldn’t have said it better!
omargosh exactly you only know from the things you’ve been told.. 4 year olds don’t actually know how they feel about that stuff.. it all comes from the reactions of the ones around them when they “dress up”
Lord Jesus🤦🏾 I'm just here for the comments 👀
She was a baby. Maybe could have treated the sadness and non vocal behavior with therapy untill she's older to fully understand the consequences. All in a loving way. My best wishes to this beautiful young lady but I really hope we can search best solutions for our kids from now on. Transition is not a walk in the park should be +18 to decide this. And as a community we should support and accept these babies meanwhile
Claudia Castrillon agreed! 👏🏽
While it is true that these decisions are a big, step I assure waiting is sometimes not an option I knew I was trans when I was tell and was very severely suicidal because I couldn’t take the next steps into the man I wanted to be, while I appreciate the support sometimes people just know what they want
Once your 18, you're essentially done puberty, so transitioning would likely be very difficult.
16?! she has the mannerisms of an 8-year-old.
Stunted development will do that... Look at Jazz Jennings too..
When my kids were four years old they lucky they had a choice of which cereal they wanted this youNg lady is making life altering decisions at such a young age. I wish the best for her but this is very dangerous

Pyramid sadly, you are correct. If you have a different opinion, they call you “phobic”. I have a trans child who was born a girl, and now lives as a non-binary person, and there are many members in my own family, who don’t agree with what my son has done, but I still wouldn’t go as far as to call them transphobic. People just have different opinions.
Eguzzisme how does your non binary child feel about you calling them “him”? Sounds like you don’t really understand any of this as well as you think you do....
I had a previous comment removed as well. It wasn't rude, it was just talking about tax dollars and the fact it's a cosmetic surgery. Also the fact a child can't get a tattoo at that age but can have such an altering procedure done.
@@loudestcloud So if there is a debate with evidence it is accepted? Look up the video:
"TH-cam banned this doctor's video. Here's why"
It was a 20 year long pediatrician giving her scientific basis for why transitioning a child so young can be harmful and dangerous. TH-cam saw it as "hate speech".
People are allowed to disagree and have a conversation. I don't understand the heavy censorship but it will all blow back harshly I feel. We will see though.

God, anything before 16 medically is a lot... socially transitioning at a young age is fine but medically transitioning at 12 is a lot. It's a bad decision getting bottom surgery at 16. Even at 18, it's so soon.
Strudel true but it’s her life choices like the opinion but don’t push it.
I agree. Even though you’re a legal adult at 18, you’re prefrontal cortex doesn’t finish developing until 22-25 years of age. People need to wait before making such life altering decisions.
So you think someone should live 20+ years before finally being happy?
Its more about avoiding irreversible life altering surgery before your brain has developed completely. There is no going back.

I REALLY wanted to be a boy, from ages 4 all the way to 22. The dysphoria was so bad that I felt suicidal at times. I'm 26 right now and can't relate to those feelings at all anymore, in fact in a bizarre twist I finally feel alive and free by finally embracing my femininity and body now, and I don't see myself ever going back. As for why, it's hard to quite know or explain, but I guess in my case it was just a coping mechanism for the trauma I had endured. I'm not sharing this to invalidate trans people, because I just don't know what the right answer is anymore, but no matter what you believe it's important to hear every side of this narrative so we can prevent unnecessary pain and controversy moving forward. Not everyone who is convinced they're trans is actually trans, and that's just a fact. My experience just goes to show there are no clear cut answers here, and whether you choose to let your child transition or not could be risky either way. I have no idea what would've happened if I had gone through with transitioning, but I'm pretty sure I would still be just as unhappy as I was before, and no closer to resolving my self hatred and myriad of other issues being overshadowed by this idea that transitioning would somehow be the magic cure.
That's exactly why you go through gender therapy before transitioning.
I wish more people would talk about this!

Jës same. I was so tomboyish/androgynous as a child my dad made a rule that I had to wear dresses every time I left the house because I dressed “like a boy” too often. I never wanted to be a boy, but thought being a boy would be easier because I never wanted to be a girl. At this point I am 19, and cool with being female. I am asexual, so I am kinda weird all around.

I think the law should prohibit sexual reassignment surgery until 18 yrs old, at least. Just my opinion as a mom. I would support my child and also exaust every option, psychological and physical therapy, before even thinking about this life altering change, which cannot be reversed. Also, the surgery can cause a lifetime of major physical complications. A decision that cannot be made by such a young and inexperienced person, imp.
Exactly! Agreed with you.

@@positivitymoth8153 About the hair, yes but unironically. Every person I see with poisonous frog colored hair is a copy-paste of the same liberal far left stereotype.
Also nice strawman, 4 yrs old is the same as under 18 apparently. A 17 yr old has the same mental development as a pre-schooler in your argument just to avoid the point. Cool.
This boy is going to end up very suicidal when he is older. This is not okay, let children live. If they still want to transition past 18, then there is nothing wrong with that, but you can't tell me a 4 year old can make a life altering decision like this.
The sickest part of this is the emotional extortion they put on parents of the claim 'do you want a trans kid or a dead kid?" as though that's based in science or medicine whatsoever. It isn't. The largest long term study shows comparable suicidal impulse or actions in those before transitioning and those after, and controlling for the acceptance of family or peers doesn't seem to lower it.
Okay but how did they get Medicaid- a taxpayer funded insurance that’s notoriously underfunded- to pay for her surgery?
Edit: I work in healthcare in the US and Medicaid is so underfunded people can’t get life saving treatment on it. I could potentially see someone fighting private insurance to cover surgery to transition but using Medicaid is taking away severely needed funds for those who are dying.
Idk because my cousin who is suffering from stage 4 bone cancer has to fight for months to get them to pay for CT scans and MRIs because they say its not life furthering "they worded it different but I cant remember" but it is so they can see if its spread or not I think she had to wait 6-8 months to get an ok finally after a huge long fight.
That makes me even more angry. This whole thing is sad.
because the lgbtq community cries about everything and gets their way by using the constitution against everything. they have a whole month dedicated to them and a pride parade but things like immigration appreciation and esports dont because "they arent as important" like hello? america is founded on immigration. not to mention esports have been discriminated just as much as lgbtq has so...

Sickk OG intersex people are.
AmaVintage is that a joke because that’s definitely not the same
@edgarjx1 maybe genetically modifying your baby while in the womb? change it's genes from male to female? Hm?
“My newborn wants to be a girl” 🤦🏽♀️
4?! What?!?!?!?! And Medicaid covers this?!?!?!?! People are actually dying but they choose to spend those funds on *cosmetic surgery* basically....smh this world needs help bad!!!!
Right? I wanted fake boobs for the longest time. I thought I was gona be super happy with them I was sad and tired of being flat chested. Where are my boobs Medicaid?
I love all the people who can watch an 8 minute video and feel like they know the whole history of this girl and her family and pass judgement on them.
musty moose exactly!!!!! My point! And everyone’s comment is based on the title “4years old” yet in the video she’s 16. And for them to have pictures of her being dressed as a girl when she was smaller to now says a lot. If she didn’t feel comfortable in that situation, she would of rebelled by now. And a lot of people want to criticize the mom yet who’s gonna waste hours/days to try fight Medicare.
.... saying that a 3 year old doesn’t know what he/she wants isn’t passing judgment, it’s facts
Who cares! Sick story! Mother should be arrested ..
@@tabs379 you shouldn’t be allowed to transition at 16
@@ryleigharmijo8578 this seemed like a special occasion. But no , I think that’s too young to transition and to make such a big decision in someones life. I look back at certain choices in my life and I regret them. So to place a decision on someone who is so young, doesn’t seem like a good idea.
We really should stop normalizing talking about trans children's genitals so publicly. I'm a trans man and if my parents had let me talk about my genitals like this in such a public forum I would be absolutely mortified. Plus, this is made for a cis audience. Cis people dont need to know the details about what's in this little girls pants. This is garbage reporting that is sensationalized and is more harmful than helpful. Cis people ask us all the time, what's in your pants, have you had ""the surgery"" and these things are harmful and offensive. So sure, let's make an entire video about it featuring a MINOR. Jesus christ, just what parent thinks this is at all appropriate? You can make videos about trans kids without talking explicitly about their junk.
It's cool people deserve to be want they want and live life but this transition thing is getting scary and out of hand because they are starting so early can't they aleast wait till they are teenager's before a permanent choice is made because a lot times I think the parents are controlling the situation because kids that young can not make that kind of choice.
Puberty blockers aren't permanent and she can't do anything else until she is 18 because of biological development
SweetieGuySans I am sorry but puberty blockers are permanent once you get over the age... if you take puberty blocker from 4yrs old to 30yrs old you cannot just stop and the oh I can I have kids now... that’s not how it works
@@loudestcloud puberty blockers aren't permanent? Sooo using them at an early age and often wouldn't have permanent effects?
It's kinda horrifying. The kid says they hated life and decided not to talk for a while etc, all at ages 1-3? Do many people even remember much from ages 1-3 let alone such specific details? I just worry the parents push these things too hard for their own political agenda
Blockers aren't permanent. If she decided it wasn't right for her, she could stop taking the blockers. If she went completely through natural male puberty, she'd be stuck with extreme male attributes that would be much more complicated to change
This is so weird I dont even know where to start bro...
I'm SO uncomfortable with this
Sometimes you have to allow a child to sulk. They'll grow up and if they still feel that way they can make that decision at that time.
So if at 4 she said “I wanna be a unicorn” you’d change her in one? I thin the mom wanted a daughter to begin with
Anybody catch the mom's shirt. Where's the dad? Something tells me mom is the catalyst for this.
she literally said she didnt even know what transgender was before her daughter said she was a girl
@@girl7662 the son acting like a girl was going on though.
@@gemArsen believe it or not she did that on her own. there are multiple cases of transgender children, without knowing what trans is, desperately wanting to be the opposite gender
So tax payer dollars payed for this crap?? Shocker🤦♀️
Its not that people dont like trans people . But allowing your child to transition at 4 is NOT right at all . Theres been too many kids that change their mind . Not everything is going to make everyone happy , but allowing a child to make such a huge desicion by themselves is devastating . Hope she doesnt regret the fact that shell never have kids because her parents want to jump the gun on a life changing situation.
It's literally none of your business though so why are you so bothered?
Crissy S
Well it’s a child going through huge medical and emotional changes at a extremely young age....
People have a right to be scared of a toddler changing its gender
This is SAD‼️ ain’t no way in hell a 4 year old is TRANSGENDER ‼️
This mother ruined her sons life by making that decision for him. No 4 year knows what they want. Mother needs psychiatric
I think you need to look into this more because you seem to misunderstand a lot here
SweetieGuySans mother n son
Wow. These comments tho. I'm sending my light and energy toward this family, girl and anyone else reading this trying to navigate through their truths.
yeah at 4 i was so confused couldnt figure out why i was thinking about trans then i looked at my parents
Amen
Hey comments readers I’m selling popcorn and coke
How much????
I remember when I wanted to be a girl because my mother and sister always used to put on make up and high heels and I thought it was cool but thankfully they didnt take me serious
I grew up raised by women and I used to goto the nail salon and paint my nails because my mom did. Nowadays they would make me transition.
This is extreme
As a trans person this is wrong
So wrong
You speak for all?
@@jacquiethielen No, but if they're truly trans then they have the experience to speak on it with some authority.
@@TheChickenRiceBowl and theres no way to fact check it, ill take it with a grain of salt to my grave. alot of trans people have internalized transphobic issues.
Thanks for speaking truth. 💯💯💯
As a developmental psychology, this is 100% valid.

baashdi hobstocking ☝🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
This is disgusting and that poor kid will have major issues and a lot of questions
There should be an age limit where you can transition. I mean she’s happy but FOUR??? A lot of boys like girl things bc of things they see their sisters do or what they see on t.v. Some girl kids like boy things for the same reason. My child is three and I couldn’t imagine
ting ting an age limit? You know how stupid that sounds? Yes some boys play with girls stuff and that’s fine but sometimes at a young age children know what they want .
Brianna dawne someone doesn’t agree with u and you call them stupid? says a lot about you, anyways... my four year old can’t make up her mind abt what she wants for dinner. so NO I don’t think kids should be able to change their GENDER that young
ting ting yeah I think your pretty stupid 🤷🏻♀️. I don’t care lol but just be happy this isn’t a life you have to live .
@@Briannadawne0630 nah, youre the dumb one tbh. op is saying that kids dont know what they want. gender reassignment is permanent. what if the kid in the video suddenly decided that they wanted to go back to normal? whoops, cant do that. now spend the rest of your 70 years of natural life wallowing in regret and depression. just cuz that child is happy now doesnt mean theyll be happy when theyre a grown, mature adult in the next 5 years.
BenisPutter they’ve been female since they are four. They are now 16. I don’t agree with surgery under 18 but if they’ve been ranked or this long I don’t think one day they’ll up and change their mind. Plus like the doctor said they need 2 separate notes from two mental health specialists . It’s not like they just agree to it. So no I’m not stupid for accepting what a child wants. This child went from not
Smiling talking to being the happiest ever after getting to transform how they dress. I’m just saying a happy living child is better than a dead one because their family
Can’t just accept what they want.
I really don't know why people want to weigh in and make decisions for other people's kids... how many thousands or millions of kids end up doing narcotics while under their parents care and and you're worried about the handful that are taking hormones? It's absolutely ridiculous. If a kid wants to transition the best thing a parent can do is learn everything they can about it and advise and guide their kids as best as possible
handfull lol try again its a new fad
@@nitpoon7982 right because there's no high school in America you can't buy drugs at but I guess there's transgender kids in every classroom is that what you're saying? Get real.
Jason Messinger i hope you never have kids jesus christ
STOP SAYING THINGS LIKE "I mean, I would’ve waited until she was older, she’s young, she don’t know what she wants." "This is insane! A four yr old isn’t mentally or emotionally developed enough to make a life style decision like this!!! This lies at the feet of this poor “parent” who doesn’t deserve to have custody of a frog let alone a young CHILD!" "Look at the mom. You don’t think she influenced her? Mom needs to be evaluated." JUST STOP SHE WANTED TO DO IT HER MOM SUPPORTS HER SOME TRANS PARENTS ABUSE THEM FOR THIS KIND OF THING SO STOP WHAT IF YOU WERE THIS GIRL LOOKING THROUGH THE COMMENTS SEEING THINGS ABOUT HER MOM?! HM?!?!?! YOU WOULDN'T LIKE IT. WOULD YOU?! SHES 16 SO LEAVE HER BE SHE KNOW WHAT SHE WANTS IN LIFE SHE WANTS TO TRULY BE A GIRL. SO STOP!!!!
Kylie owo Staffieri then after all this he’ll probably change his mind to like women and want kids in the long run
@@markburney6118 for one, it's SHE , and she can still like women and want kids if that is true to herself, it wouldn't make her any less of a woman
the comments are right. I dont think people would ever consent to young children doing this stuff
shhh, youre yelling! allow me to play devils advocate and attempt to defend the disgusting trolls in the comments who are harassing the lovely family in the video. i dont know who these people are but do you know when the brain stops developing? ~25 years old.
point is, that the person in the video is a child (surprise, surprise, children dont know what they really want in life. not sayin that teens cant be trans, but us tOxIc HaTeRs are just concerned. you clearly dont understand the cons of transitioning. yes, you can feel better in your new body, but there is always a possibility that you feel no change or you might feel worse. changing your sex isnt a magic wand that will fix all of your problems. not to mention that its expensive and you do have the possibility of having physical issues. children dont know what they want and parents shouldnt be giving them the OK for everything they want to do. gender reassignment can be mentally and physically exhausting (notice the _can_, it can also work in the person's favor, people just need to see the good and bad effects of making permanent decisions like this).
also this is an interview the family agreed to that they know will be posted to the internet. there are people in the comment section calling the mother insane, but the majority are just criticizing her. theres a difference between hate and criticism. the people here just care about the child and are thinking about the possible long-term effects of such a life changing surgery on a kid.
I need to transition into a Transformer so I'd like the Medicaid system, via your tax payer $, to pay for my surgery. Yours Truly, Future-Optimus Trans

This mother is speaking rubbish
From the time my sister was a toddler she never wanted treated like a girl. She would sneak our brothers underwear and not wear her own undies. This was over 40 years ago and transgender wasn't even acknowledged. At holidays she got boy stuff. She never once played with dolls. My parents I think back then she was a tomboy. Fast forward at 30 years old she started taking testosterone. She changed her name on her birth certificate and drivers license. She has a hard time she was for her blessed with flat breasts. She doesn't have the money for the bottom surgery and she's drinking lot to feel better. We know that isn't good. I really wish she could have surgery. I believe it when you say you have always felt like a girl. I have seen it with my sister. Good luck and never feel bad about yourself. You only know who you are.
Something about this story is not right. It’s not that people do not like trans people it’s the age that all this happened. Mom was obviously playing dress up with her son
1 question. Where is the father? Explains everything to me. Theres two mothers. No surprise here. Nothing against the LGBT community at all. Lets not pretend that this just happened out of no where and there aren't reasons behind it.
Why is that important?
Yes where is the father?!!!
This is so shameful.
Mother is clearly not straight and casting her insecurities and what she always wanted to be on her son.
This has to be a joke ! A 4 year old wouldmt think that things their parents most have told her something when she was a he so she thought of that ,or something happened to her when she was young (abuse or something) my 4 year old never say things about gender or nothing like that and every child that i see i dont know its weird that a 4 year old had that decision so young ....
Your right, perhaps one of the parents wanted a girl or hated men. Who knows why.. but its sad this child has to suffer.
Can't even spell at 4 years old
carolina fernandez that’s horrible to assume everyone is like you. Some kids are more self aware than others. Maybe you only know dumb kids.
@@shellythoma9115 not everyone is like me i am not a homophobic or transphobic but i thought a 4 year old is too young to be thinking of those thing instead of living her childhood .
carolina fernandez part of being a child is your identity. She wasn’t thinking about sex.! She just wanted to be a girl.
😳 The mom is the enabler. No way a four years can make such a decision. Her shirt says it all 🤷♀️
That is child abuse. Children should not be mutilating their bodies. His mom should not be allowing him to do this before the age of 18 and before then you need heavy amounts of therapy. There’s a difference between acceptance and crazy
At 4 years old you don’t even know how to wipe your own butt correctly this is ridiculous!!!!!!
I'm completely okay with people transitioning socially and changing their appearance when they're younger but I think 16 may be a bit too young to do gender reassignment surgery. Again, I don't have anything against Trans people. I just think she should've waited a little bit until she's truly ready. She seems like she wants to do the surgery to please other people. You should only do it to please yourself. I don't know. Am I being too harsh?
Parents of this day and age give their children WAY TOO MUCH POWER
Stop confusing these kids. 😞😡🤬
