From the moment we are born, it’s physically obvious what we are…either a boy or a girl. And for the vast majority of us, that’s the way it stays.
But for some children, it’s not that simple. They have a gender identity disorder. Watch the video to find out more.

transgender children are just gong thru a phase. They will grow out of it.
I honestly think I would freak out if my son told me that he had a gender identity disorder! Oh my god. What a horrible tot.
Aiyah, what’s the big deal. boys are not gay if they wear a dress at 3-4. They are just playing lah. Very normal!
Has anyone ever heard of the term hermaphrodite? Are there any singaporeans who are hermaphrodites?
we need to support our children’s dreams and make them feel comfortable in their skin. We should not judge a child or person for that matter on what makes them feel good. If the boy wants to wear a princess dress let him!
Is being transgender and inborn thing? Can someone be born gay?
Has anyone heard of jazz jennings. Wah lau, crazy story man. Since the moment Jazz was born, particularly the moment he could speak,she was quite vocal in hia opposition of being called a boy. Thinking it was just a faze his parents attempted to ignore it, but as Jazz got older his “disorder” became more and more prevalent.
It was at that moment that Jazz’s parents made the difficult decision to allow the youngest member of their family to be the person she felt he was—a girl!
U let ur boi dress lyk gurl sure will b ah gua
Interesting. Hmm. Food for thought
The gender of the unborn fetus is determined by the hormones to which it is exposed in utero. All babies start out as female. An infinitesimal amount of male hormone at exactly the right time is necessary for the normal development of male sex organs, and the male pattern of thinking. On rare occasions something goes wrong. There may be enough male hormone to produce male sex organs, but it may not be in sufficient quantity to push the brain into the male pattern of behavior.
Would you give your boy a doll? Lol.
Yes, I would give my boy a doll. Like what whoopi said, gi joes are actually boy barbies. What’s the big deal?
”

I don’t think so. God made us men or women for a reason. God doesn’t make mistakes.
Definitely not a good thing!! I’ll flip if my boy starts to cross dress!!
Looking at all the comments just makes me wonder one thing. Are asians just prudes?
there is still gender biasness in asia! gals can be tom boy till b4 puberty n boys- NO NO to dresses or anything faminine.of course w proper explanation like an adult to my boy
i would fell awkward if my son would want to wear a dress. most probably i wont let him but i will explain why i felt awkward about it.and why i dont feel he should be wearing it. i dont feel anybody is born gay, its just what they choose to be.
I think kids regardless of girls or boys will outgrow it. Kids are naturally curious. They are interested in being everything. I don’t think kids being young know what’s transgender anyway. Just relax and enjoy the growing up phase.
Kids are kids. Girl or boy, playing dress-ups is also be very common. Stopping them from trying on dresses just out of fun or curiousity will only deny them the opportunity to learn. Dolls are also fine. I don’t see anything wrong with a girl playing toy cars, so boys playing with dolls shouldn’t raise too much of an eyebrow either, right? Like some other parents have said, kids generally grow out of it once they’ve learnt what they wanted to find out. If a parent is concerned, the best way will still be to let the boy know they are uncomfortable and perhaps just ask why he wants to dress that way. Most of the time, could just be he idolises Mommy or an elder female sibling/ relative.
are you saying that you will no longer love your kids if they are gay or transgender?
My 1 year old boy loves stuffed toys and we see nothing wrong with buying some for him as long as he behaves.
I think the Asian society is too uptight over the issue of transgenders/homosexuals. We are all human and all entitled to our rights.
I, for one, has been asked many times by friends/family what I would do if my boy turned out gay. My only response is always “What’s wrong with being gay?”
At the end of the day, as long as our children grow up to be productive, morally upright citizens, I don’t see why anyone should have a right to criticize their personal preferences.
Being transgender is different from being gay. People often think that the two are the same. Being transgender is about the individual person’s perception of themselves. Who I think I am. Being gay is about sexual orientation. Two different things that people mistakely relate to each other.
Bottom line, whatever happens with our children, it is our responsibility to love, support and cherish our children. They are unique and wonderful and dear to us.
