Transgender children aren’t confused about their gender identity, study finds

I strongly disagree with your findings, maybe you will understand why, after you read my story. I am a 50 year old woman, born and raised in as Catholic in Mexico. I’m am the third child out four sisters. I remember very clearly, when I was a little girl around 4 or 5 years of age, I wanted to be a boy. I remember been at church one Sunday morning, and after mass was over, i approached the priest from our church, and I asked him to change me into a boy, you always hear at mass, all the miracles about God and all the things he can do for as as his children, I knew that priest would help me, being a little i had so much faith in God, Church, Jesus Christ and the priest, I knew in my heart that if I wanted a miracle, the only thing I needed to do was to ask the priest. Of course that never happened. Years passed, and I started to like boys, and I always have. But, i also like women, i never been with another women, i don’t think i ever going to engage in a lesbian relationships. I believe, the desire of my parents to have a boy was so intense, and after having 2 girls prior to me being born, had a lot to do with my desire to be a boy. When I was growing up, i was thought, i was a tomboy, i played with marbles, and other games with all the boys in my neighborhood. I had female friends to, but I was more boyish than girly. I used to wear my hair very short, blue jeans, cowboy boots, I was so skinny and my breast didn’t develop like after I was 12 years old, that I literally looked like a boy. Later on when I was in middle school, boys started to like me, and I started to like boys, and started to have boyfriends. Then I became a mother of a boy, follow by another boy and a little girl. I know I was confused, I am very happy with my gender, as a woman, I very much enjoy my sex life with my male partner. Something triggered my desire to be a boy, I’m glad that my parents and the priest from my church handle it the way they did. I don’t know what outcome would be, if all of this would happen in this era, and they would agree with me, and change me into a boy, I don’t think a parent should take young children word as a fact. We as little kids and growing up, we really don’t know who we are, or what we going to do with our lives until we reach our late teens. You as a researchers, have to do more deep studies, we as children we get influenced by everyone and everything that surrounds us.
