Both Our Kids Knew They Were Trans Age 4 & 7 | MY EXTRAORDINARY FAMILY

PARENTS of two transgender children say they are not pushing an agenda, but instead supporting their kids with acceptance and love. James, 11, and Olivia, 7, live with their parents, Ben and Sara, in Berkeley, California. The family are sharing their story with the hope of normalising the narrative surrounding trans children.

Being a tomboy doesn't exist anymore?? Let these children grow up. This is so sick.

[mn]

These children are way too young to be making such irreversible changes to their Bodies!

[aerozaxton]

It's okay to be masculine or feminine. A man can be feminine, a woman can be masculine without changing an entire gender...

[tristan]

I'm a trans guy.. and even i know this is borderline insane.. i hope the best for these kids, geez.. and he thinks being trans is "his thing" its not a thing.. it's not a quirky hobby.. this is scary

[HollyGW]

How do kids this young even know what gender means, this is awful. ABUSE

[roadmanpussio]

I’m not transphobic or anything but this just isn’t right. The parents needs to be checked.

At age 4 and 7 i was making mud pies playing with no shoes on wanted to wear boy clothes and while playing with dolls and hunting with my dad and fighting my brothers and i was a little girl and now i have kids and a husband. Why can't kids be kids. 😢.

As a kid starting at 3yrs old, i begged my mom to let me be a boy, I 100% wanted to be a boy for many years, i hated the idea of getting breasts or having a period, i cut my hair short, wore boyish clothing. Played with boy toys & so on. I am SO GLAD that i wasn't raised in todays society, otherwise i would be a man if my parents had let me do & be what i thought I wanted. I am very happy being a woman. It makes me wonder!

Disabled likes/dislikes ratio, deleting comments tells you everything about this.

[lotuspocus]

Every person with a healthy mind rejects this.

Thank God.

And there are children who are taken away by social services only because their families are poor.
These parents are damaging their children because of their selfishness.

[AnnSmajstrla]

Catch up with these kids in 20, 30 years. I hope to God that the damage is minimal.

[squirrel_bait]

You can try to normalize this all you want, this is child abuse. Any reasonable person knows this and knows what this is all really about.

[jaimereynolds]

I wanted a tattoo at that age, but had to wait until 18. Stop it.

[Friendszone]

What if they changed the minds when they grow up ?? Why the parents put them in permanent damage that’s really sad .. worst parents ever

[noneshere]

Those parents should be jailed immediately.

[platano]

Little boy sees attention the sister is getting, it's no surprise they are also "trans"

[MK-dggr]

Everytime I thought I heard the most disturbing story from this channel... boy it can get even worse.

[Edward.E.Nigma.]

Im all for people doing what they they're old enough to make tgise decisions.... doing this when theyre under the age of 10 is DELUSIONAL

[zombilicafied]

What the hell is she doing to her kids with brainwashing them. They didn't even know what the words were until they were introduced somehow to it and thought it was a great idea....child abuse and neglect is what this is and so much more.
