The google translation sucks, but I think I got the gist of the story- the girl is now in a foster home because of who she is That is always something of a shock to a child, and at least in the US many foster homes are much like animal kennels in how they 'parents' view the children they're gettin paid to take care of But then there are good foster parents too- I know because I spent many months in that situation Kvetnika, if I missed anything important here could you post a better translation?

Danke,

My Translation from TAZ newspaper:

Who wanted the pink unicorn?

Little Alexander already wanted to be Alexandra in kindergarten. The municipal youth authority opposes.

Hello,

I am Alex. The girl who laughingly opens the door to a Berlin old style apartment, has long blond hair, wears tight jeans and a blouse. This should be a boy? This lovely 11 year old being , who voluntarily presents her room with white furniture and and a pink unicorn on the bed?

Nothing indicates a boy. But Alex sex became a battle field. Alex is transsexual, a girl with sexual characteristics of a boy. For this reason the municipal youth authority threatens with lunatic asylum. They want to instituationalize her.

Since when has she thought of herself as a girl? Alex looks into the eyes of the reporter and rebuffs: “Since when have you known? Always.” For Alex her condition is clear. When she still had short hair, she put a wreath into her hair, where she attached woollen pigtails. Her mother has not got any problems with it.

After kindergarten Alex has officially changed social gender and went to school as Alexandra.

She was accepted, insisted her mother. Alex is an normal happy girl.

A happy girl

Not everybody likes it. The father continued to call the child Alexander, forced to wear boys´ clothes. When Alex cried, he become violent.

Should they convince Alex to live as a boy or should they allow the child to continue Life as a girl? This conflict caused the divorce. The care of health was delegated to the municipal youth authority. The father fights the behavior, the mother wants to accept Alex will.

Now Alex reaches puberty. The body develops into male direction. She does not want to become a man, she would rather die. Alex wants to be treated with estrogens, in order to become female. The father wants to stop this. He besieges the municipal youth authority, claims in a 170 page letter his ex to be mentally ill, who persuaded the child to be a girl.

What he does not mention, but his wife , is that the was a case of transsexualism in the family of the ex husband’s family. That case was hidden and suppressed. He wanted to protect his son from that fate, thinks the mother. There he fights to desperately thus causing a situation, which aggravates the child.

How to deal with transsexual children? Both parents and the scientific world are split. Kids, who want the opposite gender are not uncommon. This wish diminishes in puberty many times. Instead of opposite gender identity they develop a homosexual identity.

Clinician Klaus Beier from Berlin Charite refers to this identity change. “If we had a criteria to forecast the gender development, the use of pubertal blockers would be justifiable”, says Beier. “But we do not have that criteria so that there remains a risk that gender dysphoria would disappear in course of adolescence.

Against nature

There should be a form of gender dyphoria induced by the parents, e.g. when the mother has a disturbed relationship to men and forces his son into female role.

Has the mother, who appears normal and happy, painted the room pink and bought the pink unicorn against the nature of the child? Unlikely imaginable. But the father is convinced that the mother is the problem and without her, the child would become a boy.

The a other opinions towards early childhood transsexualism different from Beier.

There is a Dutch follow up study: for so called children with gender dyphoria. Biological bosy who fiercely claim being girls later will become transsexual whereas boys who simply wish to be a girl become homosexual. The homosexuals just regret being boys.

The Dutch dare to diagnose early in order to start HRT in undisputed cases.

In Switzerland they dare to diagnose in pre-puberty, too, and start subsequent treatment. I would observe them closely for half a year on weekly base, that Professor Udo Blahfleisch from Basel University. Then he could decide. In case of transsexualism HRT would be indicated., according to Blahfleisch

“It is an enormous relief when the child develops in the desired sex.” children treated with estrogens would not get a deep voice and broad shoulders, but would develop breasts. They would look like a woman and not like a dressed man.

Alex has never been neutrally examined. Sex years ago she should be tested in a large Berlin hospital. They claimed she would become unhappy as a girl. Therefore she refused to co-operate.

Clinical role clichés

She cancelled the tests. She was wondering the doctors´ role clichés she had to choose from a shelf: to the left pink princesses, to the right cars. She had to decide with which to play. She took the puzzle. These stories are examples of the absurdity to attribute role behavior while modern educators try to avoid these stereotypes.

Alex does not always play with dolls. She does not like soccer, either. Her hobbies are break dance, swimming and reading. What does she read? Girls´ books tales and books about horses? No, Harry Potter, quite neutral.

We would like to talk to neutral witnesses. The teacher refuses as the matter is too delicate. The municipal youth authority investigates. Is the mother the problem. Why is there no official diagnosis? Or does the father press the institutions who want to avoid further trouble with him?

The clinical director talked during the cancelled examination for a long time with the father and then just an hour with the mother six years ago. She should have talked the child into transsexualism. The mother went to a therapist. She could not find anything wrong.

Never thoroughly examined

Alex has never been thoroughly examined, not during a longer period of time like Blahfleisch claims. A report or deep examination would be that important. The youth authority gave Alex’s case to a new officer, after it remained silent for many years. The new officer believes the father and created facts. She ordered the child into the lunatic asylum and disapproved HRT.

She child should live through male puberty. This should cause the child to resume life as a boy. The child should be put into therapy where paying soccer and with cars are suggested, female desires ignored. Later the child should be placed in a foster family without contact to the mother.

“This is absurd”, Blahfleish said. “It is unprofessional to pull a child out of the original family. And when they would try to re-educate the child, the child would lie and become unhappy.. This is no form of therapy. A therapy accompanies a patient to find him/herself. It does not force to cease a certain behavior or adopt another one. That kind of therapy would do harm to the child.

Despite of non-existence of examination the municipal youth authority odered institutionalisation of the child after court order. The mother tries to appeal at higher court.

The authorities ordered the institutionalisation now. The police could be in front of the apartment every moment and force a happy active girl into lunatic asylum.

Doctors like Beier and Zucker need to be chased to Southern America to their like minded. Reparative "therapy" has to be STOPPED!
