With his blonde pigtails and purple tutu, Zach Avery, now five, has been living as a girl for more than a year - after he first refused to live as a boy when he turned three.

Little Zach was just three when he began refusing to live as a boy, instead choosing to wear pink dresses and ribbons in his long, blonde hair - because he has Gender Identity Disorder (GID).

And the primary school he attends in Essex has even changed the kids' toilets to gender-neutral Unisex in support of Zach since his official diagnosis last year, aged four.

Zach is one of the youngest in Britain ever to be diagnosed with GID - meaning he feels like he's a girl trapped in a boy's body.

Creepy... is that a real, measurable disorder, or is it a matter of going to a psychologist and saying you want to be a girl/boy? Because I got diagnosed with schizophrenia, multiple personality disorder, and bipolar disorder that way (the point was to affirm my belief that most of psychology is bullshit. It wasn't even that hard... so much prescription medicine at my disposal now).

It is a real thing you can measure. But you have to be careful when the kids are that young because it could very well be a phase or something like that.

Yeah, you're quite right. Well, he is only 5 years old. :rolleyes:
Well, even though it's a weird story. But why the hell do "parents feel the need to run/selling to the papers" with such a story?

She's a child, when something doesn't fit right they think they are weird, wonder why somethings not right.
Someone who honestly believes themselves to be one gender, but have the genitalia of the other, gets them wondering, when I was a little kid, i was always afraid of being weird, I always tried to fit in. its the same case.

He is a 5 years old child yes. But I’m not buying he did make his own choice to be a girl
at such a young age.

There is something definitely wrong with this. The kid is only 5, not old enough to choose. Notice they do not mention the parents.

Choose or not, it sure as hell seems happy in the photo.
I'm sure it'll choose for itself when it gets older.

I could put a five year old boy in a dress and say "Trust me, it's cool. All the older kids are doing it too." And guess what? He'd be happy as could be. And for the record, based on it's face, it COULD have just been force fed a lemon. That looks like it could be sour-face to me....

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
