Sex change in Largo, FL making waves

Over at 'Out in Left Field,' a self-described Parenting and Politics blog, Steve/Susan Stanton's getting the royal treatment.

I do think it's a shame that Stanton didn't get this worked out before bringing children into the world.

Stanton has a 13 year-old son. Puberty is hard enough without dealing with dad in a skirt. The Trib reports father and son haven't discussed it yet. Really? (S)he has undergone extensive psychological testing, hormone therapy and painful electrolysis for years. Perhaps there were not enough commercial breaks where a quick family meeting could have been penciled in?

I'm all for equal rights. However, when parents put their own needs ahead of their kids, trouble usually follows.

What do you think about this post? Do you think Stanton is at fault here?
