In a story that surfaced some months ago, the parents (both female) of "Tammy" (formerly known as "Tommy") are giving their eleven-year-old son hormone-blocking injections designed to retard puberty on the spurious grounds that the child has wanted to be a girl from the time he was three years old. Worse yet, their actions have received support from the extended GLBT and liberal community, just as castration of boys received support from 18th-century parents who pressured their little boys to become androgynous singers.
