Would you support your child if they came out as transgender?

Question

humanearth · Accepted Answer

Hell they classified me as trans and I'm far from it. But according to the stupid LGBT wrack job of a group.

Because I like to wear womens clothes. That I'm trans something.

Fuck all that shit, I'm a man and not some trans shit. I told some supporter and they argumented that I was indeed a transgender. They could not get it though their thick head.

I'm just a man that likes wearing womens clothing and I like women. I know what I am and what I want. I'm not confused

Now if my kid told me this. I'll just them. It's your life, but your going to have a hard time trying to make it.

But do what you want,

Thats if they are 18 or near 18. If they are 8 or 10. I'll just ignore it and chalk it up to playing

Yes. I'd send them to a psychologist. Gender dysphoria is no joke. People with gender dysphoria have crazy high suicide rates so I'm gonna make sure that they get all the help they can. I'm not qualified for that. I will if course not stop loving my child or whatever.

DizzyDesii · Accepted Answer

Nope. I’d tell them to save that type of feeling/thinking for when they move out after high school. And i’d always refer to them as the he he was born as or the she she was born as. If theyre not looking to be preached to, then its best they dont come to me repeatedly asking for advice. I want to be a good parent and answer their questions, but im not gonna answer the same question with a different answer. Im gonna tell them how i feel the first time they ask

I'm pretty open minded in regards to things like being trans, homosexual, pan, etc. So as long as they're happy, I'd support them. But for actually undergoing any medical procedures, I'd be more hesitant since I'm not sure if them being trans is temporary or not. As long as they can assure me and are confident they won't change their mind or regret it, I'd support medical procedures too.

pinkcactus484 · Answer

Yes.

By saying that, I mean that their feelings are valid. Nobody is saying that, as soon as a child wants to play with some of the "opposite gender's toys" that we push them through to transitioning at all.

But if I had a child (I mean I don't want children but still...) who was insistent, consistent, and persistent in being trans, then I will definitely not judge them. I would let them lead me in transitioning and we would take everything as their pace.

Then, when they get a bit older, we would consider puberty blockers. And, when they are at least a late teenager, certain that their dysphoria is not going to go away, we would consider hormones and surgery.

Gender dysphoria is an actual medical condition and I would prefer a happy child to a dead one.

mrfoox · Answer

Absolutely. No matter what, they're still my child. If they want to be called another name and pronounce, it's something I want to respect and adapt to. I want them to be happy in the end, and if they come to me and tell me they don't feel like their assigned gender and can't be happy living like that, then I'd want them to be what makes them feel like themselves the most.

StephenCF · Answer

Due to how I expect to raise them, it would surprise me (as much as I’m aware transgenderism is growing in my country). But I would only accept them as trans when they’re over 18 & have had a surgical sex change they paid for themselves — only then would I take their new identity seriously

YourGirlGigi · Answer

I will not judge or condone it or treat any of my children (if I was a mom) indifferent because they live and think different than I do. That's between them and God. I'll love them just as God. Love doesn't mean you accept what you feel is wrong of another person. Not hate, judgment, gossip, ostracize, etc. Love is to bless someone through a trying time or negative situation in one's life. This is when love is truly expressed. The Bible says "Love Covers A Multitude of Sin."

ohshee · Answer

I would support my child no matter what it's there life just like you and I they want happiness to ,,,,, it's not about me,,, it's about them and what ever choices in life that they want to take on to find thst happness. I will back them weather I believe in it or not.

StarryCrossing · Answer

Yup, but only if they were older like preteen age. I wouldn’t make my child feel alienated and would respect and aid them in their transition. However I would make sure it’s 100 percent something they wanna do, as once they start it would be hard to go back.

louyaa · Answer

I would and would make sure to support them through anything as long as it's not harmful. If they're pretty young I'm not going to let them take hormone supplements because that just doesn't sound like a good idea because they haven't even matured yet

JimboGB · Answer

0.6% of US adults identify as Transgender, for crying out loud they get way too much limelight.

No, I wouldn't, considering 60% of confused children change their minds before adulthood and 1 in 3 trans youth try to commit suicide, many of them successfully. No, I wouldn't support or encourage this perversion of my child. I will seek the psychological help they require.

Elizabeth_Rose · Answer

I wouldn't if he/she's too young it's dangerous because the majority of suicides in the world are made by trans or homosexuals by the way if he/she's 18 I would let him/her do whatever she wants just like the other dangerous things like alcohol or cigarettes.

Anonymous · Answer

No. Honestly I think it's an identity disorder that surgeons are taking advantage of for profit and society is pandering to for misguided reasons. I believe they're sick and instead of helping them, people are encouraging them. For all our supposed increased awareness regarding mental health, people have just simply chosen to ignore that one for some reason.

andreasderjuengere · Answer

It's entirely their own business. I'd have nothing to do with it.
Until they find a place to rent, they can stay. After that: it's go-time.
I'd feel a little sad though, because my sperm and my efforts to raise them as normal persons were wasted.
The good news: My two ones indeed turned out to be ok.
Now downvote me.

007kingifrit · Answer

no, being trans is a social construct. its all in your head and not something people are born as or doomed to.

any medication or therapy designed to reaffirm their "chosen" gender identity is going to make their lives miserable instead of curing them of the confusion. you can never become the opposite sex so trying is doomed to fail.

ryancg · Answer

Look, I get that you can get cancelled nowadays for not supporting it, but anytime I think about it logically, I just can't get behind it. It doesn't compute for me. If I felt like a girl despite clearly being a guy, then logic tells me that it's a psychological issue, you don't fix the brain by morphing the body. It's a bandaid, the issue in the mind is still there.

Pete671 · Answer

My adopted daughter defined herself as gay age 13, absolutely no problem, age 27 now, she thinks she might be transgender, again no problem, I just do everything I can to help her/him,,,
When she comes down to stay she dresses as a boy/male, just want to help them find themselves and be happy, because this is my job and it's a privilege to have it,,,

crmoore · Answer

If people supported me and my preferences as a child, I'd have a lot of holes in my face. Children don't know what they want nor what is best for them.

Anonymous · Answer

I would let them grow out of it. Like 90% do; who aren't put through hormones or gender reassignment surgery. As transgender people have a 40% suicide rate before surgery and a 39% suicide rate after. So if they didn't grow out of it I would try and get them to realize that there is nothing wrong with their body.

Twalli · Answer

I would obviously prefer they weren't. I can't help you if you see the world in a different way than I do. I can't help a gay guy because I don't see guys as attractive. I would have better luck with a lesbian girl because we at least find the same gender attractive.

Anonymous · Answer

There are two genders, male and female... The constructs based off of them such as guys must be tall and strong, women must learn to cook men must be be the breadwinners, those are social constructs, same with how women have long hair and men have short, girls wear pink and guys wear blue... All of that is but a part of a social construct... If he wants something on the other side of that social construct, who cares take it... But as for his/her actual gender... It should not change

Kaneki05 · Answer

of course. I ain't gonna do the bs of bringing up a child as none gender or whatever that is. cause that is 100% bs but if later on they come to feel like there gender don't fit that's perfectly okay. Just like if they were gay. :)

0oGreyo0 · Answer

My child will never be Trans. And no I wouldn't. That's poison of the mind I'm not going to lie to them. Pulling your child away from leftist media will stop your child from being gay.

Anonymous · Answer

I would love my child, no matter what, but wouldn't support them in this. I would do my best to get their mental illness treated, and hopefully cure them.

Sargentcaptain · Answer

Depends on their age. It's one thing if they are 14 and are just starting to think about adulthood and another if they are 25 and they have a good grip on who they are.

Enochian · Answer

Yes. My child will be my child, them being gay or transgender won't change that. I would however cut them off if they turn out to murder or rape someone. But thats impossible, cos I will raise them right no matter what

ImSparkly · Answer

Yes. I dont think anything other than them committing murder would make me not love a child I had. I might have to re-evaluate things for a spell, but underneath they are still my offspring.

AzureGirl · Answer

Of course. I have nothing against someone being themselves.

ranger3456 · Answer

Of course women would support the genital mutilation of their own children. The already try to justify the murder of their own unborn children on a daily basis so why not add more immoral feminist sins to their list.

jgokgotit · Answer

I'd do my best to clear up their confusion and hope it is just a phase, but I'll still love them.

Midnight_Kiss · Answer

If I had children I’d be happy and supportive with whoever they are as long as they’re happy (and hopefully healthy)

Anonymous · Answer

YES AND YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE KIDS IF YOU SAY NO. If you don't support your child's life that is literally harming no one, i really wish you didn't have kids. They deserve better parents.

Browneye57 · Answer

No. Children do not have the capacity to understand gender dynamics. You don't get to CHOOSE your gender - it's built in.

Anonymous · Answer

It’s extremely rare but has been made into a fad. Parents who want to be cool will be all about that but when the kid grows up, they will be fucked up.

Anonymous · Answer

I would support them in the sense that I would understand that they are suffering from a mental problem and I would certainly do my best to cure them with the best therapy treatments I can get for them.

ManHater · Answer

I would put it up for adoption and then try again. However with the new one I would make sure I did all the manly things with him. Go hunting, get into bar fights, stand up for what's right, don't be a pussy.

RydiaMagnifique · Answer

Absolutely. I would help them get what they needed too.

yenofed840 · Answer

what is fault of being transgender, God has made them? so accept the truth. So you are so weak to accept the truths

darkcloud1945 · Answer

If the child is old enough to make that call then I would support their wish as to their gender. The child is still mine no matter the gender they choose

Anonymous · Answer

no
I would cut any financial support and ensure that another child in my family with future inherits my possession. I would support them emotionally and they were welcome in my house for a tea or coffee.

Fellator_95 · Answer

Nope it a mental illness I will take my child to a doctor

I can understand if you are gay and prefer Samesex partners it’s all good but hormonal treatments and chopping of sex organs I don’t think so 🖕🏻

Liam_Hayden · Answer

I am sterile and will never deal with this, but if I did have to do so I would in no way, shape, or form support the mutilation of the child's body.

MountAverage · Answer

Would I support my child in not having to hide and supress who they really are and become happy with themselves? Umm, yes?

Veryhornyjerk2girls · Answer

Yes defenetly glad too if i had one but if he was a male i would try too stay away from his gay parties and activities, and friends. If it was a girl i would support her close to 100.

Anonymous · Answer

Absolutely! I'd get them the mental health care they need.

EnglundUberAlles · Answer

Of course. I would support my kids in anything short of serial murder. That doesn't mean I would encourage them to get gender reassignment surgery which I consider hazardous and unnecessary.
