As someone who is just recovering from a flood caused by my upstairs bathroom, I can easily say that I would totally prefer this than what happened to my ceiling. Mine disinigrated and killed everything I had downstairs. Horray for drywall! :)
In agreeance with Taryn, I believe the article stated that names had been changed to protect the family.
I was a little put off by how well spoken they'd quoted Jazz as being at such a young age. I think it was probably more a case of paraphrasing on the parents part, though.
Childen have the ability to show personality characteristics at extremely young ages (well before 2 yo.), so why would this be any different? I think the fact that Jazz was very unhappy when unable to act and dress like a girl, and is now happy acting/dressing like a girl speaks volumes. You can impose your preset ideas on children, but you can't force them to be happy doing it.
I actually had my lens replaced as a child about 15 years ago. They removed my lens and replaced it with a glass lens. I believe nowadays they use a better plastic lens.
However, if you click to the link, that's not what this story is about. It looks like they've actually clipped a new lens to the front of this guys eyes. It's kind of like wearing glasses without the hassle. There's some neat up close shots at the link too. Cool story!

Reminds me of Zoolander's special modeling poses a little too. That's too funny! :D
