The Age of Reason

There have been a couple of interesting articles in the DT recently.

The first tells of a 5 year old boy called Zach who has decided, since the age of 3, that he is really a girl. Parents, NHS doctors and psychologists and teachers all seem to have agreed that he suffers from GID, Gender Identity Disorder. He has been officially diagnosed as such.

The second tells of a 42 year old women who engaged in consensual sex with two boys aged 13 and 14 as a reward for vandalising the car of her rival. She is being prosecuted for ‘three counts of sexual activity with a child’.  The prosecutor said, “the boys had been willing participants, but were not legally capable of giving their consent. At the age of 13 a lot of boys have hormones coursing through their veins and are perfectly capable and willing to have sex but they are mentally immature.”

So, a 5 year old boy is able to determine that he was born with a gender disorder, but two boys, 13 and 14, are not able to determine that they want to get laid.

Funny that!
