Gender Confusion

Alterina Hofan airings case only iceberg of the many people with genital ambiguity in Indonesia. but this case shows the irony that people with genital ambiguity still fall victim to public ignorance
As an illustration Alterina prosecutors demanded seven years in prison for allegedly falsifying identity sebelunya women become men in December 2006. Though known as the Alter indrom Klinefelter patients. Patients with XXY chromosomes like the physical features of women, such as breast growth and no appearance of hair in some parts of the body, but androgynous men are genetically.
Klinefelter syndrome is just one of many cases of genital ambiguity> confusion is due to chromosomal aberrations or gene mutations, also alleged there is an external influence. such as the use of hormonal drugs in pregnant women.
Generally the disease is not caused by transcription factors. But for the case of Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), illness of parents who have obtained gene carrier (carrier). CAH sufferers are women who have an enlarged clitoris until it resembles a penis, so often identified as a man. Broadly speaking, people with genital ambiguity can be male with female physical or otherwise, as in the case of CAH. Symptoms vary depending on the stage. Usually, men who suffer from gender confusion to have small testes and penis, accompanied by the growth of breasts. In fact, there is also to have hypospadias or leaking of the urethra between the scrotum (testicles) so that urine does not exit through the tip of the penis. If this case happened to women, the patient will look like men because the breast is not growing, menyeruapi enlarged clitoris penis, development of the body becomes like a man and sometimes berjakun. chances of people with genital ambiguity 1: 4500 births.

Early Detection
genital ambiguity or intersex, in contrast to transsexuals. In the confusion of gender, physical development does not correspond to genes or chromosomes, whereas in the case of transsexuals do not fit with the psychic of the patients concerned. Genetically and physically transsexual patients do not experience the problem, it's just that mental condition does not correspond to physical development.
To overcome the gender bias is needed early detection of chromosome examination and Deoxyribonucleid Acid (DNA) in newborns, in addition to physical appearance, to see the presence or absence of abnormality. In order to avoid detection and legal impact psikolgis acceptable penderitakarena genital ambiguity at a later date.
Under certain conditions during pregnancy examination is also required to ensure the presence or absence of defects in the fetus. This check is done if there is a certain risk to the mother, such as women over the age of 35, never having children who suffer from gender bias and have had recurrent miscarriages. Error identification of sex in the newborn can be fatal front of his mature later. Sebbagai example, someone who is genetically male sex, but life as a woman since childhood, will be familiar with a worldview and a woman's sexual orientation. So when it was decided to be restored to men, not only altered the physical but also psychological side ... not easy.

Psychological musty
Before it was decided to change sex, the team physician should already know the sex chromosomes and in accordance with the psychological aspects of the patient. Patients will experience a long process through various consultations. Usually involved a variety of specialties in the medical team such as genetics, andrology, urology, psychology, psychiatry, anesthesia, endocrinology, radiology, clinical pathology should also be involved religious scholars.
Psychic condition of patients is strongly influenced by the surrounding environment. The existence of society's negative assessment of the physical condition is concerned with making it difficult to shut down and accept his situation, other factors are education and sosilisasi about gender confusion so that people can understand better about this problem. During this time constraint in this disease is low awareness of patients to check themselves.

MILK-TEETH APPERANCE

The first set of teeth, or milk-teeth as they are called, are twenty in number; they usually appear in pairs, and those of the lower jaw generally precede the corresponding ones of the upper. The first of the milk-teeth is generally cut about the sixth or seventh month, and the last of the set at various periods from the twentieth to the thirtieth months. Thus the whole period occupied by the first dentition may be estimated at from a year and a half to two years. The process varies, however, in different individuals, both as to its whole duration, and as to the periods and order in which the teeth make their appearance. It is unnecessary, however, to add more upon this point.
Their developement is a natural process. It is too frequently, however, rendered a painful and difficult one, by errors in the management of the regimen and health of the infant, previously to the coming of the teeth, and during the process itself.
Thus, chiefly in consequence of injudicious management, it is made the most critical period of childhood. Not that I believe the extent of mortality fairly traceable to it, is by any means so great as has been stated; for it is rated as high as one sixth of all the children who undergo it. Still, no one doubts that first dentition is frequently a period of great danger to the infant. It therefore becomes a very important question to an anxious and affectionate mother, how the dangers and difficulties of teething can in any degree be diminished, or, if possible, altogether prevented. A few hints upon this subject, then, may be useful. I shall consider, first, the management of the infant, when teething is accomplished without difficulty; and, secondly, the management of the infant when it is attended with difficulty.

Management of the infant when teething is without difficulty.
In the child of a healthy constitution, which has been properly, that is, naturally, fed, upon the milk of its mother alone, the symptoms attending teething will be of the mildest kind, and the management of the infant most simple and easy.
Symptoms:- The symptoms of natural dentition (which this may be fairly called) are, an increased flow of saliva, with swelling and heat of the gums, and occasionally flushing of the cheeks. The child frequently thrusts its fingers, or any thing within its grasp, into its mouth. Its thirst is increased, and it takes the breast more frequently, though, from the tender state of the gums, for shorter periods than usual. It is fretful and restless; and sudden fits of crying and occasional starting from sleep, with a slight tendency to vomiting, and even looseness of the bowels, are not uncommon. Many of these symptoms often precede the appearance of the tooth by several weeks, and indicate that what is called "breeding the teeth" is going on. In such cases, the symptoms disappear in a few days, to recur again when the tooth approaches the surface of the gum.
Treatment:- The management of the infant in this case is very simple, and seldom calls for the interference of the medical attendant. The child ought to be much in the open air, and well exercised: the bowels should be kept freely open with castor oil; and be always gently relaxed at this time. Cold sponging employed daily, and the surface of the body rubbed dry with as rough a flannel as the delicate skin of the child will bear; friction being very useful. The breast should be given often, but not for long at a time; the thirst will thus be allayed, the gums kept moist and relaxed, and their irritation soothed, without the stomach being overloaded. The mother must also carefully attend, at this time, to her own health and diet, and avoid all stimulant food or drinks.
From the moment dentition begins, pressure on the gums will be found to be agreeable to the child, by numbing the sensibility and dulling the pain. For this purpose coral is usually employed, or a piece of orris-root, or scraped liquorice root; a flat ivory ring, however, is far safer and better, for there is no danger of its being thrust into the eyes or nose. Gentle friction of the gums, also, by the finger of the nurse, is pleasing to the infant; and, as it seems to have some effect in allaying irritation, may be frequently resorted to. In France, it is very much the practice to dip the liquorice-root, and other substances, into honey, or powdered sugar-candy; and in Germany, a small bag, containing a mixture of sugar and spices, is given to the infant to suck, whenever it is fretful and uneasy during teething. The constant use, however, of sweet and stimulating ingredients must do injury to the stomach, and renders their employment very objectionable.

Connect with Your Child but Don't Overdo it


We all want to connect and be involved with our child.  Children of involved parents generally feel more confident, assured and have a higher level of self esteem.  They excel in school and do well in extracurricular activities and with their hobbies.

But is there such a thing as too much involvement? It's imperative when you're becoming involved with your school-aged child's activities and academics that you recognize the line of what being too involved can be.

Remember, you're becoming involved in your child's life.  It's important that you don't intrude too much upon it.  Children need their space and privacy and they need to be able to develop their own skills, talents and abilities.  In our eagerness to help our child succeed, it's tempting to want to step in and start doing things for them because you feel they are doing it incorrectly or inadequately.  But remember, you had to learn too, and this is their chance to learn on their own.

Be there to encourage and support your child, and offer praise at a job well done.  But also remember to step back and allow your child to learn from their own mistakes, and to develop their own way of doing things. We all know from our own life experiences that there's always more than just one way to do something, and just because your child is doing it differently than you would doesn't make it wrong.  Who knows, it could present a terrific opportunity for you to learn from your child as well.

In addition, try not to become too overbearing or nosy when it comes to their social life.  Be available for them should they need to talk and encourage them to share their troubles with you so you can help them sort through a problem.  But if they say they don't want to talk about it or they just need some time to figure things out for themselves, respect that need by letting them know you're available whenever they need you.  This is an important part of growing up and allowing a child to figure his own way through things is an integral part of that process.

Clear Expectations Make Discipline Easier

Sometimes it can be very challenging to communicate anything with your child. Setting clear expectations regarding what's acceptable behavior and what isn't imperative to successfully teaching your child right from wrong. If the parameters are muddled or the child learns that in one situation the rules hold true yet in another situation the same rule does not, it makes for confusion and frustration on both sides.
Sit down with your child well in advance and line out the expectations and consequences of misbehaving or a misdeed. Make it clear that in no uncertain terms is there any room for negotiation at the time of the infraction, and that should such a behavior occur you intend to be firm in your discipline. Rules regarding your child's safety, health or well-being should have no room for negotiation when being set or enforced. Other rules can be openly and honestly discussed with your child and an agreed upon action should be forged that both parents and child can agree upon. If necessary, make a contract between parent and child. Lay it all out in black and white, in language your child can clearly understand. For younger children, you might want to develop a good behavior chart within the contract, and for each week that goes by without any infractions being noted, a favorite or special activity might be earned. The connection between good deeds and special time with mom and/or dad might be just the currency they understand. But all children need to understand that disciplining them is your way of teaching them what's acceptable behavior and what isn't. It may seem as though children fight rules and regulations, but they truly know that such parameters are meant for their well-being, health, safety, and enable them to grow into a mature person capable of making wise decisions.
