How would wise King Solomon judge this modern day two parent claims to decide this child’s sex?
The Chicago Tribune Ask Amy published a grandparent’s concern for their grandson.
The grandparent asks for advice how to cope with the wife of their divorced son who is dressing their 7-year-old grandson with girls’ clothes when in her custody. The grandparent’s son is the father changes his clothes and gets upset if anyone sees him wearing girls’ clothes.
The Purpose of This Post
Is to relate an ancient proverb regarding evidence and wonder how King Solomon would judge this modern-day conundrum.
King Solomon
Do not move an ancient boundary stone set up by your ancestors. (Proverb 22:29)
Do not move an ancient boundary stone or encroach on the fields of the fatherless, (Proverb 23:10)
What’s My Point?
A court ordered child therapist has been assigned to try to resolve the parent’s conflict.
King Solomon ordered a sword be brought to split a baby in half knowing in his wisdom that the love of the real mother would be to give up her child rather than have him killed.
Amy advised the grandparent to just love the child and accept the outcome.
The ancient proverb gave advice to protect a” boundary line with a visible stone to mark the line and warned of a server penalty for anyone to move a boundary stone of a helpless widow.
Is my relating the proverb stone as a marker, the child sex organs sufficient evidence in ancient times would probably be a simple evidence for King Solomon to judge the parents claims.
The point of this post is to give my accolades to the advice given by Amy.
In My Opinion
Amy’s advice to the grandparent to just be grandparents.” No child has ever needed love, neutral accepting grandparents than this child.”
I agree with the advice about the love aspect, but wonder if the child should just be allowed to make his or her decision when he reaches the age of adulthood and understands the consequences of his decision in his life.
I also wonder how King Solomon would judge this matter which is similar because he had no witnesses when he judged the harlot’s claims.
I am not a child therapist but wonder if any child therapist has enough wisdom and evidence to make these type decisions for a 7-year-old child?

Well here’s a suggestion, simplistic as it is:
A birth day really is the end of all controversy. Not just how old you are- but how many years were you of the same sex?
What does the Birth Certificate read: M or F? What box was checked?
End of story.

The cross-dressing isn’t where this stuff ends these days. There are doctors giving children hormones and various sex change operations that mess them up. When parents and other adults set children for sex change treatments, that is child abuse.
For obvious reasons, most children who are confused about their sex resolve the matter shortly after puberty. They just need guidance from the adults around them, but in some states the radicals have made that support illegal, but they apparently think it just fine to confuse a child. Such radicals are child abusers.

Your usage of the phrase ‘child abuse’ is unpopular, but correct to a rightly framed mind.

Thanks for your comments.
What I find intriguing about this matter is the judge does not judge the matter, rather he assigns a child therapist to examine the boy.
I googled the qualifications required to be a licensed sex child therapist and frankly nowhere does it state that are required to produce any objective proof, only subjective based on what a legally immature child tells him. A child who the law states is not mature enough to make any Iegal decisions until they reach the legal ages of 18 or 21.
In other words, the judge is just a clerk delegating a decision to someone who has a license.
Doe it make any sense to pass a law to require a child to be a minimum age and then allow someone to decide that they can make a decision for them?. A decision that will affect a child that is supposed to by law be protected by the law until they reach an age of maturity?
In my opinion the judge should have assigned a therapist to examine the parents rather than the child.

Makes more sense than messing up a child’s mind.
We are assuming this situation requires an “expert” opinion. It doesn’t. What is required is the protection of children from child abuse. Therapists have self interests. That includes occupational interests. There is lots of money to be made from confused people, especially when politicians get involved.

Tom,
While money is a driver in many social issues in life, when a child is involved, my experience is most people who listen carefully to a child will recognize what he or she is being influenced by his parents or peers.
A novelist could conjure up numerous plots and motives because of factors such as divorce conflicts, anger, hatred, movies, peers, etc. and a host of other influences on this child.
Being a parent or grandparent of a child brings both a lot of joy and a lot of grief and challenge in their lives.
A religious faith and upbringing will help guide faith believers. Hopefull to influence wisdom and love in the lives of both parents and children to help drive on the straight path of righteousness in various seasons of life.
In my opinion, a child in good time and influenced with love and wisdom during his childhood will be more likely over time grow up to o emulate their parents influences of wisdom and love when he or she matures to a legal age.
As for what drives transgender drives in life, frankly, it is beyond my comprehension,
, Advocates of transgenderism who believe transgenderism is a result of nature and not nurture will believe it is beyond my comprehension and hoose to believe in whatever they believe.
I can only pray the child therapist influences the child to at least grow up to a legal age before they drug and influence a child.
Regards and good will blogging.

Problem in some states is that it it has become illegal for a therapist to counsel a child or even an adult against believing their sexual orientation is not based upon whatever they desire it to be. The radicals have organized to use the political system to push their agenda.

Tom,
Your comment brings the issue back to my original argument that the parents are being stripped of their parental authority by a court appointed licensed child therapist who will give an expert opinion………….based on subjective rather than objective proof, what a child sex is in his or her ‘expert opinion.”
In my opinion,
if the child has not reached the legal age of maturity, no one should make any decision what sex the child is until the child becomes of legal age.
I have read the law to prohibit p religious influence to try to influence a child has resulted in a high incidence of suicides by children.
If the child therapists errors, and a child is drugged, perhaps irreversibly , to transform based on subjective rathe r than objective proof, in my opinion, that is legalized child abuse. By the State including a consenting parent.
And the result for the opposing parent, a decision to bring about a change too. A change to sadness, anger, and hatred
Color storm is right, let his or her birth certificate decide the issue until the child reaches legal age.
