Ryland was only 5 years old.
I think Ryland will grow up accepting himself. The question is whether others will accept Ryland. Growing up around people who don't accept him might be hard.

So you guys are seriously...I am REALLY suggesting that this kid is not facing eternal damnation? And I am not talking about a hundred or even a thousand years of torture in hellfire, no. Not even a trillion years of brimstone and cruel, sadistic violence at the hands of Satan herself. No...I mean ETERNAL. Forever. With no chance of escape or repentance EVER.

I wish the parents would have left her the way she was born and let her make the choice when she was old enough.

I watched the video.
I can accept Ryland whether he/she is a boy or a girl. My skepticism is just part of my nature. I am the devil's advocate, almost always.
Can you understand that? I am skeptical of many things, even my own identity. I'm skeptical whether we're even what we think we're.
Nonetheless, if I was Ryland's parents, I'd want him to be the best he can be. His parents are only trying to help him reach his potential.

Would people feel the same if a child had BIID, would you support them if they allowed their child to have limbs removed?
Or in this case tied their limbs so they could not use them.

Good for that family. Demon possessed? LOL Do people really believe that in this day and age? That they think that being transgender is the work of the devil? I guess haters are going to hate, but I hope this family gets lot's of support and I hope they are strong and I hope we evolve into a better society soon.
