  • why do they need to decide these things, why not let them enjoy their childhood for as long as they can, parents only need to show support and love their kids regardless and make sure that whatever they choose in their lives they are not making a decision that is gonna effectively be regretted should they decide further down the line that is isn't what they wanted after they've been through the change and for many it will be the case...
    so no i dont think they should encourage them especially at that age, and those sort of things should be stopped until someone is of an age whereby they can make a decision on their future as an adult and not before then... (exceptions, Hermaphrodite's)
    cos a lot of kids around those ages and some adults close to 18 dont even know what they want for dinner let alone what they wanna be, or are so confused about their lives but interpret it as a gender confused state, when it's mostly a case of being something completely different

  • No! You need to encourage children to be trans as little as you need to encourage them to be gay. The desire to live in another body often arises early during childhood and becomes very evident during puberty. It is just a natural development for most trans-persons. (There have been exceptions like former female GDR athletes who were forced to change sex as their bodies had been ruined by androgen doping.)

  • My father worked in child services/protection for 20+ years. Back in his time (later 70s through 90s) any preteen who had any unbecoming interest in their sexuality or genitalia was assumed to have been sexually abused. They often were either by relatives, family friends, teachers, and/or older children.

    So it interests me, a lot, that in only a few sort years society's gone from that scope to approving even encouraging preteens to "investigate" their sexuality. As there are such things as trans-age - where one can pretend to be a 12-year-old when they're actually 45 - I wonder at the reasoning behind such early-aged pro-trans ideology.

    As for should parents encourage their children to be trans. No. At that age they shouldn't even understand what the damn concept means. Kids go through phases. One day they'll love blue with all their heart & think it's the stupidest color ever created the next month as example.

  • the child should say what gender he or she wants to be, and parents are to be supportive only. I think anyways.

    • I'm a white guy but I want to be black

    • Then you search it and see what you can do about it, the parent like me would see angles to see how it can be done... by going to the doctors office...

    • Thanks for the MHO

  • They should be encouraged to explore all aspects of their sexuality. As well as the good and bad.

  • Straight up child abuse. Do whatever you want once you reach 18 but a parent should be raising you in your best interest. Confusing young kids with gender roles and trans issues will only lead to psychological issues in adulthood.

  • WTF! No, absolutely not. smh

    • Exactly. Now I expect the haters will come out and try to get my pool taken down.

    • Your pool taken down?

    • I'll probably get reported. On most forums the censors take down any opinions they doesn't agree with

  • -Sorry I accidentally clicked yes I didn't read the question
    Maybe encouraging them isn't the way to go, talking to them about it is ok but when they're ready, definitely not younger than ten

  • Of course not

  • I don’t think it should be encouraged, but rather accepted.

  • No but at the same time not hate their kids if they become trans later

    • True. When a kid hits puberty and truly knows what being a male or female is. I can understand being gay. But mutilating one's body is over the line.

  • But kids are aware of what they are. I know I was I was playing dress up with my sisters dresses an I was a lot younger than 10..
    My mum thought I would grow out of it but never did. I should have had the op when I had the chance...

  • You should support your child but you shouldn't encourage them to be anything but themselves.

  • Child abuse and mental illness
