Six year-old gay child

Recently I was watching a television program that involved a family with a young boy about 6 years old wanting to be a girl. It started one day when his mom caught him playing with her make-up and trying on her lipstick. Now, the parents accepted the fact that the child wants to be the opposite sex so they encouraged it by starting to buy dresses and toys fitting for a little girl. The child of course cannot think so far as to know what he is doing can affect his life negatively in the future. Parents who think ahead and who want what's best for their children would not encourage their kids at such a young age to live a life that might cause difficulty being accepted in our society today.

The parents should have thought of shielding the child until it was at a matured age in order to make the decision to live as a woman. Another option would be to seek professional help through therapy to influence the child's way of thoughts positively. It's a choice of course for parents to accept their children for choosing what gender they want to live as. On a personal note, parents should steer their children to a straight path and not encourage anything that might be embarrassing or difficult to live with years down the line. Teach them the right way and if for some reason -when they are old enough to make such decision-the child chooses to live otherwise, then the parents know that it's not their fault. What a proud and peaceful parent you must be when you know that you´ve done all that. Children live and they always learn. Who will get the blame for disrupting a childhood? The worst thing about such situation is that children trust their parents. They look up and adore their parents. If the parents cannot think positively enough to try and bend the mind of a young child then something is obviously wrong.

Parents, try to teach your children what is normal. You have to keep in mind that after your children become adults, the moment is already gone. The children have already had difficulties and are now struggling to find themselves and all that could have been avoided if mommy and daddy had just tried to teach them how to live as a normal person accepting themselves for who they are and for what gender God made them.
