I have to admit that this report disturbs me quite a bit.
How can a 12 year old know for sure that this is what they want? As a parent I don't think I would have allowed my child to have this type of surgery at such a young age.
What do other ABers think?

Sorry daffy - had to put the record straight before I went out last night. ;o}

Perhaps I got a different idea from your intent. It is just the way it read probably because it is snippet without a lot of context in a very serious matter.

Read objectvely it appears you concluded your daughter had a gender blending situation because she played football. I assume there is more to the story and I would be interested. I think physicality in a young woman is a great thing.I

Incidentally what kind of five a side football are we talking here?

beso - we've been out all day, so couldn't reply any earlier.

I still can't understand why you have chosen pick the bones out of my post, when missrandom also mentioned that she was once a tomboy & used to play football when young. She also mentioned that she went on to have children, etc., etc., but you have chosen not to question her post? (No offense at all to you missrandom).

Why question me 'further' about my daughter? What is the fascination regarding her five aside football? Or is it just a wind up?

If you have read my post in a different way to which it was intended, then I can't do much about that & don't feel that I need to explain myself any further.
