Transgender German Girl Faces Being Institutionalized

And you thought that this was no longer happening, that it only happened back in the stone age.
Transgender German Girl Faces Being Institutionalized By Father Who Rejects Her Gender Expression

International lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights activists are expressing concern over reports that an 11-year-old German transgender girl is in danger of being institutionalized.
[…]
"If all else fails," Pink News noted, "there is a real and present possibility that pressure from her father, supported by the Youth Welfare Office in Berlin, means that Alex will shortly be confined in a closed ward of a psychiatric institution to ensure that 'he' returns to 'normality.'

Meanwhile, Alex's father has reportedly insisted on calling his daughter "Alexander" and forcing her to wear boy's clothing. He is now believed to have gained the support of Berlin's Youth Welfare Office and is in the process of removing Alex from her mother's home.
This is also being done here in the U.S. and also Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) is used to cure people of being “Transgender”. Former presidential candidate Rep. Michele Bachmann’s husband, practices “reparative therapy,” or psychological treatment targeted at reorienting homosexuals. We are still in the dark ages when it comes to treating LGBT, there are still witch doctors out there that believe it is their mission to stamp out all gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgender people.
