Should Transgender people be allowed to adopt children?

Question

In my state a single woman can adopt children but single men cannot. Should a man identifying as a woman be allowed to adopt? What about a woman identify as a man?

Hey there are some trans I know that would have made a FAR better mother than my own mom...

At 13 I would have happily lived with anyone other than my mom. She was so mentally unstable... I use to beg to be put into Foster care... unfortunately my aunt was a manager at the social services of my area and she covered for my mom...

She would tell people I needed mental help... something was wrong with me and she's tell people my mom was a good mom... nevermind the fact that one time she walked in on my mom beating me... told my mom to stop... then my aunt drove off to an appointment she had... meanwhile my mom returned to beating and 3hrs later my aunt drove by our house and stopped once more because she could hear my screams from down the road...

Ya my mom isn't gay or trans but that didn't make her a good mom or keep her from beating me for 3hrs straight at a time... and that was just one of mild moments.

They are mentally ill and delusional. I would say no

Also get offended and hurt easily when somebody won’t use their preferred pronouns.

They expect other people to accept them when they can’t even accept themselves

So on your initial question , I kind of lean to No , but on further explanation , I consider my answer is yes. I think those rules that a single woman = Yes , and a single man =No are quite ludicrous , but I was against IVF for transgender because I always felt you were giving up the reproduction part of life.

Your States rules are crazy though , what a sexist state. What state is that? I think adoption in general should be promoted far more , as the people wishing to adopt really want that child.

So , long short , with all considered and meeting the correct criteria , I will vote Yes , with those state laws in mind.

That's like saying that cannibals should run the meat factory. Also, once you allow the depraved and mentally ill to own children, they'll demand a monopoly on it, to the exclusion of anyone else. Then, they'll actively seek to make it illegal for anyone who sees through their criminal BS from adopting children. They're already doing it. CPS will outright lie on court documents to destroy families, even today. And those kids all too often get trafficked.

Do not hand kids over to they who belong in the electric chair!

Al_Musafir · Answer

Them being transgender proves that they're not even capable of handling themselves, let alone others.

If I happen to have children in future, I'd prefer them to be miles away from a transgender person.

PS: my sympathies to those fellow human beings who were forced to be trans.

Exterminatore · Answer

No to all questions. Anyone who is convinced they are a member of the opposite sex is clearly not dealing with reality and therefore has no business caring for and raising children. They’re simply too delusional. If they can’t even understand they are the sex they were born as, and that’s very basic, then they should not be raising children.

Apple1996 · Answer

Nah people with mental issues should not be allowed to have kids

worldscolide · Answer

I don't believe mentally disabled people should be allowed to adopt no..

GOLDFISH_smile · Answer

Of course. Anyone should be able to adopt or foster as long as they show they're capable of it. But that system as a whole also needs a LOT of heavy changes and safety measures. One would be either not allowing single women to adopt either (for the same reason single men can't), or also allowing single men to adopt (and any extra tests or measures in place for single men to adopt should also be applied to single women). Get kids into safe homes, and the more homes are an option the more chances that a safe one will find them.

AnusNdaPainus · Answer

I picked yes because as someone who grew up with out parents it’s better to have any over none I’m all for adoption

however the mentally ill should not be allowed to adopt trans people are not stable they are dealing with too much internally and they’re more than likely gonna mess the kid up

I’m gonna stick with my answer YES but only because it is slightly better than the alternative even though the kid is gonna need therapy at least they have a better chance of making it to 18 than kids with no parents

provokeesmokee · Answer

Yeah, and so should gay people.

Frankly, queers are going to be better parents than homophobes and transphobes.

Then again, the current adoption systems basically favour white upper middle class straights, so it's a systemic issue.

But yeah, queers make for better parents typically. We have more experience with adversity and can raise children to be not only tolerant and accepting, but resilient and strong.

The people I know who were raised by queers are much more well-adjusted than straight-raised kids, present company included.

SakuraBlossoms87 · Answer

@krakenattackin - since most people are commenting on the mental illnesses of transgender people does that mean the government is legally able to remove ALL children from mentally unstable "parents" and have them neutered/spayed like unwanted dogs? I mean my father worked social work at a federal level & sooo many parents were vermin unfit to care for a rock.

mobiusforniner · Answer

Its not towards transgender, but I know a lesbian couple who adopted two children. Children whose heterosexual parents dumped off because they were too irresponsible to raise and care for a child.

I saw those kids grow up happy. They grew up having heterosexual relationships and their parents supported them all the way

Like any responsible parent should.

Rei13 · Answer

I said yes. The people I know that adopted had to go through a lot of home inspections etc in order to be able to adopt their child. I think if a prospective parent passes whatever tests you’d have to take to make sure you’re mentally sound (outside of the obvious) then I don’t see the problem. You can experience gender dysphoria but still be a good parent

LimitedBenefits101 · Answer

Absolutely not

rigmarole · Answer

What you mean like Obama and Big Mike taking those little girls from their friends? Nah that seems fucked up, especially since they ended up banging Hunter Biden and doing lines of coke... That wasn't exactly top tier parenting.

Anonymous · Answer

I wouldn’t want trans people as parents.

RingOfFire · Answer

Would you want your child to be taken care of by someone who behaves delusionally and can't distinguish between fantasy and reality?

Gender dysphoria is a serious mental disorder that causes delusional behavior and the failure to be able to distinguish fantasy from reality and therefore should disqualify someone who suffers from it from not only from being able to adopt a child but also from having custody of their own child.

Andres77 · Answer

Trans are mentally ill. Giving kids to trans is child abuse.

Anonymous · Answer

I think it’s better than people having no parents, so, yes. If they’re deemed fit to parent. I do think typical mothers and fathers working together are the best thing for a child, however. Also, I’ve heard of people with real mental illnesses who with the help of their partner, were very good parents and raised healthy kids.

Meropatrick · Answer

This fake family shyt is getting weird. 2 married women adopting a child its seems so out of place. I understand if a woman can't have kids she can adopt. But men dont tend to have that strong paternal instinct. That he would want to raise a child that isn't his on his own. A trans doing that is even weirder. I still believe in things the old way. A couple raising a child adopted or not seems that normal Thing.

jshm2 · Answer

Neither should gays, to be honest.  What can such people teach, when they themselves are in denial of the union that produced them?

Sharkstealth · Answer

No and why would single females be allowed to. That should not be allowed either. The point is to make as healthy a situation as possible for the adoptee. Sure the couple may divorce but at least it's a healthy start. Rash placement should never take place. Political correctness is a plague to our once great and falling nation.

Anonymous · Answer

Nope. Nasty they all have mental health issues.

BootsLover94 · Answer

If they are good parents and have the $$$ to be one, then yes. There are many kids who need homes.

There are people who are not trans who should not be parents and there are transgenders who also should not be parents as well

Juxtapose · Answer

No, they are too mentally ill and are going to brainwash their kids to think cutting off healthy body parts is cool.

Telekinetic-Potato · Answer

I think first and foremost the kid should be able to have some say. And largely I think the kid should get the transgender parent if the kid is transgender. I do think it's a terrible idea though.

"In my state a single woman can adopt children but single men cannot."

That's disgusting. I'll bet all the feminists are fighting really hard to change that law. Oh wait... I forgot feminists don't give a flying fuck about issues like this. They are only interested in "equality". Lol

ɹǝʇʇɐɥpɐW · Answer

Yes, assuming they aren't single, have a job, have no criminal record, and have the means to reasonably care for a child. Though I would also say that single women should not be allowed to adopt a child.

YesterdaysChild · Answer

Sounds like something the courts would have to decide. I don't get involved with transgenderism issues like this.

Anonymous · Answer

Trans/gay people shouldn't be parents. I believe the best chance of a successful life is with the parenting of a stable father and a stable mother to become a well rounded adult.

BeetleBro2000 · Answer

A person's gender has no impact on their ability to provide a safe home to a child. Nobody should be banned from adopting just because of their gender. That's ridiculous.

DaBiggestBird · Answer

Absolutely not, human trafficking itself is enough of a problem. I don’t think anyone police officer feels like ending off their week with seeing a child dismembered and stitched back together with some cat bones attached and turned into a totem.

Anonymous · Answer

No person who is extremely mentally unstable should be able to adopt

normalice · Answer

Allowed? Sure. But obviously they should be able to because all the kids would already be adopted by pro lifers, amirite?

Anonymous · Answer

They are too often linked to pervert shit degeneracy and children are innocent and should stay that way

Nifrayu · Answer

There are laws protecting against that kind of discrimination. If you are refused a chance to adopt a child for no other reason than your gender, then I would file a lawsuit for unfair discrimination.

Likes2drive · Answer

Probably not, but it is surprising that a single woman can adopt, but not a single man since it’s usually preferred that couples adopt anyway and even gay couples can adopt so that’s two single men adopting

Anonymous · Answer

There are far too many predators using protected groups as a shield to protect themselves from backlash as they abuse children.

So.. you live in a place where the idea that men are all automatically sex offenders is literally enshrined in law and you think that transgender people are the problem? Wow.

Unit1 · Answer

So long they are not abusive or neglectful. There are entire swarms of shitty parents out there, that are not transgender.

OddBeMe · Answer

Yes. Normal regs attributed, of course. Why do people think being LGBT means you’re a molester? Honestly Repubs are so fckin obsessed with genitals I wouldn’t leave my non existent kid with one.

Spongebobssocks · Answer

many men are sexual predators and adopt to abuse so no, if he wears a wig and dress he is still a man

Anonymous · Answer

Well it's wrong that a man cannot adopt. So assuming we consider a trans to be a viable role model, I guess they should be allowed too.

Aiko_E_Lara · Answer

No way. We don't know what agenda they'll brainwash their adopted child.
