Just came across this

This is from Focus on the Family website, James Dobson leader. This is one of the two main christian groups that Bush, less so now that he has no more elections to face, and all the other presidential candidates are placating.

Evidences of gender confusion or doubt in boys ages 5 to 11 may include:

1. A strong feeling that they are “different” from other boys.

2. A tendency to cry easily, be less athletic, and dislike the roughhousing that other boys enjoy.

3. A persistent preference to play female roles in make-believe play.

4. A strong preference to spend time in the company of girls and participate in their games and other pastimes.

5. A susceptibility to be bullied by other boys, who may tease them unmercifully and call them “queer,” “fag” and “gay.”

6. A tendency to walk, talk, dress and even “think” effeminately.

7. A repeatedly stated desire to be — or insistence that he is — a girl.

If your child is experiencing several signs of gender confusion, professional help is available. It’s best to seek that help before your child reaches puberty.

And here is their link that was under professional help.

If Your Child Needs Help

If your child exhibits repeated overt prehomosexual tendencies:

1. Accept your child and affirm his or her worth regardless of the characteristics you observe. Show unconditional love.

2. Don’t wait until your daughter’s masculinized behavior or your son’s effeminate preferences get any worse. Remember that for many prehomosexual boys and girls, some of the characteristics may be more subtle:

• inability to bond with same-sex peers
• feeling different from and inferior to other same-sex peers
• discomfort with his or her gender
  

3. Call to make an appointment with a professional therapist who believes change is possible. Work patiently with that therapist in redirecting your child’s prehomosexual behaviors. To find a qualified therapist, contact one of these organizations:

Oh, and by the way, whether you believe in nature or nurture, creating this sort of unresolved conflict is only bad. Mixing religion with unresolvable guilt is how you get neuroses, psychopaths, hand washers, and serial killers.

Sorry, this is long, but only in full context can you appreciate the insanity of these people.
