The Next Front: 'Gender Identity Disorder'

This is probably the most bizarre and troubling story I've posted, as it demonstrates the slow but relentless manner that a radical social agenda can wriggle its way into the accepted norms of society. With a complicit media eagerly helping things along, the nefarious work becomes much easier. From the Associated Press:
CHICAGO (AP) — A small but growing number of teens and even younger children who think they were born the wrong sex are getting support from parents and from doctors who give them sex-changing treatments, according to reports in the medical journal Pediatrics.

It's an issue that raises ethical questions, and some experts urge caution in treating children with puberty-blocking drugs and hormones. ...

The report details 97 girls and boys treated between 1998 and 2010; the youngest was 4 years old. Kids that young and their families get psychological counseling and are monitored until the first signs of puberty emerge, usually around age 11 or 12. Then children are given puberty-blocking drugs, in monthly $1,000 injections or implants imbedded in the arm.

Just when you think the boundaries cannot be pushed any further...
