Beyond Appalling: Boston Children Hospital Now Doing Sex Changes

From Fox News:

Boston’s Children’s Hospital bills itself as the hospital for children — and now it’s also the hospital for children who want a sex change, a procedure some critics are calling “barbaric.”

Dr. Norman Spack, a pediatric specialist at the hospital, has launched a clinic for transgendered kids — boys who feel like girls, girls who want to be boys — and he’s opening his doors to patients as young as 7.

What kind of parent let’s a seven year old get a sex change? And what has been going on in that kid’s life that he/she is so focused on their sexual identity?
