Gender Roles-Who Decides What is Right?

In Ma Vie En Rose, Ludo knows in his heart that he is a girl, so for the rest of this blog I would feel more comfortable referring to Ludo as a girl. Ludo tries to tell her family that she is a girl and she knows that is who she truly is. Irigaray's reading suggests that all women strive to be men to some extent, so what does that say about Ludo? Would Irigaray say that Ludo is just confused in general, because what person born in a boy's body would actually want to be a woman?
Even when speaking about a person's genitals, Irigaray refers to the woman's clitoris as a "baby penis." I believe that Irigaray would say that Ludo is just a confused child, because every person strives to be male, not female.
In the Schiavi reading, he seems to be more sympathetic to the problems Ludo faces in her life every day. He seems to understand that there really is something that can be fixed or changed to help children like Ludo live up to their full potential as who they really are, mentally as well as physically. He seems to have more of an open mind to situations such as this one, and that is what I believe every person needs to have. This is obviously a problem affecting quite a few people around the world. Every person should be able to live their life how they choose, whether it is a heterosexual lifestyle that is chosen, a homosexual lifestyle, or if they were born one sex and believe they are truly another. There is no reason why anyone should judge anyone else, based on their sexual preference, gender, race, religion or anything else. Everyone should be free to be who they want to be.
