so by your definition, anyone that falls outside of your set of opinions that are appropriate behaviors, traits and appearances of "genders" = bad example for others. nice. Have many friends, do ya?

so a boy's mother wouldn't be an appropriate role model for him even if she is a highly accomplished CEO, world champion kick-boxer, whatever, because she is "female"?

agreed.

Although sex (body parts) and gender (social construction and perhaps brain structure are different)

I love his statement "I just wish to be myself"

Isn't that what we all want, and should strive for?

Good for him!

That he was voted by his peers makes me feel good. It says to me young generations "get it" much better than the older ones.

And. . . I'll say (because i have this compulsion to do so) that some boys do want to be (or are) girls - and that's okay too.

YMMV, as they say.
