I dont know about this one. It would be different if the kid were older, high school age or so, but a 2nd grader? Are they even old enough to know what transgender means? To most 2nd grade boys, dont girls still have cooties? I think it is odd that at such a young age he wants to be one.

I think this kid is going to have a hard time of it and it may have been better to have allowed the kid to start off in a completely new school instead of going back to one where the kids know him. School is hard enough with out adding this to it. Good luck to him.
