But let kids be kids...talking about gender and sexuality to children is wrong...they'll figure all that out soon enough...just let them be kids and not think/worry about that.  And a parent that is giving a minor child hormone blockers (or similar), and certainly letting them get gender reaffirming surgery...that is child abuse...once that child is 21 they can do whatever they want.  This is where the more extreme elements of the LGBT community lose me (as far as their "movement" or whatever they call it)...and the fact that the more "moderate" LGBT don't condemn this stuff (even though they don't support it), just prevents me from getting on board with the rainbow's and all that.  (Though I fully support them having the same rights as any other American...no matter how extreme their views they should never be discriminated against.)

I know a guy who is raising, along with his female "partner" , their son gender neutral. I went to school with him and he was just one of those guys that just didn't fit in. Now he is raising his son to be as awkward as he was and I wouldn't be a bit surprised he would consider helping his son "be her true self". There is some psychology sessions there. 

My wife has a cousin that raised her daughter to be a lesbian. Maybe she is, maybe she isn't. A now sweet, extremely overweight young woman who showed up at the last family get together with her face powdered white, her hair died yellow, with her eyelids painted red and black like a colorful moth. Dressed like a cross between Stevie Nicks and Helen Roper.  She is just a confused person now. But again, its the parents that are the screw ups to start off with. Ren Faire types that are on welfare from the get go, acting outside the norm to draw attention is what they are all about, not fitting in and being productive.

I'm not trying to start shit with this, but, have you asked the kids if they are happy or are you just deducing this from an outside perspective because they look and act different than what is considered, "normal"?

I'm sure it comes as no surprise that I know a lot of people who fall outside the lines of what many would consider "normal" (both aesthetically and how they chose to live their lives) but – just like the rest of us that appear "more normal" – they're just trying to find their own version of happiness in the short time they have on this planet. Some of it are doing it with more success than others but the same could be said for everyone else.

Anyone who has raised kids should know better then to do some life altering shit based on how they feel as a child.

I asked because I have a ton of gay friends, a few trans friends, and lot of plain old straight friends with kids. I work with kids from elementary through high school. I have a lot of these conversations and don’t know a single person who has had treatment as a kid or who has a child who’s been treated medically for gender dysphoria.

Oh, you thought it was all made up, Kim?

Wel now you now it’s factual and true. Why do people of your ilk only accept facts when it supports your viewpoints? Hmmmmm.

Thank you for your anecdotal evidence...the point is that it happens, and that a part of the LGBT community supports it...do you support it?

Some people don't seem to agree with me, that's okay too. 

I don't think the Trump truck or someone like that is the same, I'm a Trump supporter but only because I like his politics. He is just a man and I do not worship any man, so that truck is way over the top for me as well. 

I can figure out that you like girls without everything you own telling me that you do. No insecurities, it's just odd to me that someone would want me to know about something that isn't any of my business. 

The same cast of characters that turned the other "pride" thread into their own private, dumbgeon bound shitshow, have highjacked this thread as well.

A few here understood your point.

Anyone who has raised kids should know better then to do some life altering shit based on how they feel as a child. 

I'd counter with, "anyone who has raised kids should know better than to judge how well / poorly another parent is raising their kids without being privy to all the information".

EDIT: I didn't say the above as a jab, but Sandberm listed "awkward" and "overweight" and "wears too much makeup" as to why he's assuming their parents are failing them. Which I mean, if we're being honest with ourselves, we all know a fair amount of people that fall into at least on of the three "awkward, overweight, and wearing too much make up" categories. Hell, I'd venture a fair amount of non-moto hits at least two of the three... does that make them not happy people? Does it mean their parents failed?

Lesbian sticker or Trump truck wraps, who gives a shit, land of the free.

I don't believe I ever said she couldn't have any of that stuff, I just made an observation and tried to understand why someone puts that much emphasis on their sexuality which I'm allowed to do because this is the land of the free.

So now you're the resident expert on parenting but you don't have kids?

As to where you’re commentary is headed…

Transitioning Children is fucking criminal, to me. 

Of allllll the shit we don’t let kids do…smoking…vote…drive(16 here)…drink(21 here)…join the military…buy a gun…etc., etc., etc….

Yet…and think on this…we’ll insist it’s ok for them to “transition” due to some psychotic social agenda held by an absolutely bent minority? (Yes…”bent…minority” in the political sense)

Uh, no.

If I say anything other than no you’re going to hear yes. I don’t have enough experience with it to have an informed opinion.

The point of my anecdotal evidence was to point out that it’s rare. Your examples were celebrities, right? So I don’t think you know anyone who’s been through it either. It’s just a thing you’ve heard about.

The adults that I know who have transitioned had to go through years of counseling and then had hormone treatments for quite a while before they were eligible for surgery. I assume it’s at least that difficult for minors.

I feel strongly that infant circumcision should be illegal, and lots of people have looked at me sideways for that. I don’t think a parent should be allowed to make any decisions about body mods. But kids aren’t completely stupid. They’re not less capable about being certain about something than an 18 or 21 year old.

It's simple...do you agree with transitioning children or not?  

Of all the things children CAN'T do in this world, even with parental consent (vote, join the military, drink, drive, etc. etc.)...do you believe they should be able to transition?  Simple question...

 

And I didn't share my personal examples for the same reason I dismissed yours...its just anecdotal evidence...I provided two WELL KNOWN instances, so that they could be verified (rather than exaggerated or made up)...just to prove it happens...they aren't the only ones, and you know this.

And to me, I don't believe applying a blanket anti-transition statement to all parent / kids is the right move anymore than I believe applying a blanket pro-transition statement. That's all I'm trying to say, everyone of these cases are individualistic and it comes down to the conversations between the child and everyone in their circle (parents, family members, doctors, counselors, pastors, etc.)... who are any of us to say, "this is what is best for your child", when it comes to this matter?

The problem is that if it’s legitimate — and it is, as regret rates are almost zero among adults who transition — that child’s life is going to be better if they start as soon as possible. That’s not my fault.

As you’re making me think about it, I’m realizing that puberty blockers would prevent that person from ever needing surgery. They would also give that person more time to decide how they’d like to move forward. Forcing them to wait until after puberty puts them through something much more traumatic.

Some of it are doing it with more success than others but the same could be said for everyone else.

Had this very conversation over mem weekend with my ultra liberal sister, until its tax season that is and her other social worker psychologist friend who we went to school with. 

Went round and about the 2 of them would not admit that there's kids that will go along just to find a place to fit in or attention from an adult their not getting at home. We compared it to gangs, doing drugs, Joe camel and the budweiser llizards. Nope could not allow themselves to be even slightly wrong or varying ideas.

I finally after a few got pissed and said so your saying that there's preteen and kids that wont follow along to fit in. I just started naming off people we grew up who were exactly  those people. Some of them who were "so queer" or so punk, scen, emo, hardcore, preppy. Pointed to said friend of hers sitting there and pointed out her obvious poser status growing up going from trend to trend.

An thats the issue to me. Their putting their finger on the scales of sexuality in children and trying to tip it. Its grooming. If their gay their gay there's enough out there for them work it out. Its not the fuckin 50-80's

The best thing is to wait. If nothing else, because some surgeries like converting a penis into a vagina, requires a full size penis in order to avoid vaginoplasty complications, because a small wiener = small vagina and small vaginas get blown up and stretched out and all thin-skin surgeries get really complicated. We know that gender dysphoria is when your body doesn't match your mind as it relates to your sexual organs, but at it's core, it's just a variant of body identity disorder, which includes limb dysphoria and they're very similar. If we wouldn't remove a limb for a child going through limb dysphonia, then we probably shouldn't remove a little limb due to gender dysphoria. All the forward minded Scandi countries are shifting from medical care to therapy. Who knows what the future holds, but for now the consensus is moving leaning towards wait + therapy.

I know a guy who is raising, along with his female "partner" , their son gender neutral. I went to school with him and he was just one of those guys that just didn't fit in. Now he is raising his son to be as awkward as he was and I wouldn't be a bit surprised he would consider helping his son "be her true self". There is some psychology sessions there. 

My wife has a cousin that raised her daughter to be a lesbian. Maybe she is, maybe she isn't. A now sweet, extremely overweight young woman who showed up at the last family get together with her face powdered white, her hair died yellow, with her eyelids painted red and black like a colorful moth. Dressed like a cross between Stevie Nicks and Helen Roper.  She is just a confused person now. But again, its the parents that are the screw ups to start off with. Ren Faire types that are on welfare from the get go, acting outside the norm to draw attention is what they are all about, not fitting in and being productive.

I'm not trying to start shit with this, but, have you asked the kids if they are happy or are you just deducing this from an outside perspective because they look and act different than what is considered, "normal"?

I'm sure it comes as no surprise that I know a lot of people who fall outside the lines of what many would consider "normal" (both aesthetically and how they chose to live their lives) but – just like the rest of us that appear "more normal" – they're just trying to find their own version of happiness in the short time they have on this planet. Some of it are doing it with more success than others but the same could be said for everyone else.

Had this very conversation over mem weekend with my ultra liberal sister, until its tax season that is and her other social worker psychologist friend who we went to school with. 

Went round and about the 2 of them would not admit that there's kids that will go along just to find a place to fit in or attention from an adult their not getting at home. We compared it to gangs, doing drugs, Joe camel and the budweiser llizards. Nope could not allow themselves to be even slightly wrong or varying ideas.

I finally after a few got pissed and said so your saying that there's preteen and kids that wont follow along to fit in. I just started naming off people we grew up who were exactly  those people. Some of them who were "so queer" or so punk, scen, emo, hardcore, preppy. Pointed to said friend of hers sitting there and pointed out her obvious poser status growing up going from trend to trend.

An thats the issue to me. Their putting their finger on the scales of sexuality in children and trying to tip it. Its grooming. If their gay their gay there's enough out there for them work it out. Its not the fuckin 50-80's

 

I appreciate the open response, and I think it falls in line with what I was originally trying to say (perhaps I did it poorly).

You talk about having the conversation with your sister and a closer friend of hers... but have you talked directly with the kids about if they're happy or not? I only say this because, based from my personal experience, my parents would have given completely different answers than I would have would have someone asked me directly if I was happy or not, what I think would have made me happy as a kid, and offered suggestions on how to go about achieving that happiness.

I’m also 100% sure I don’t think anybody should be turning a little boy’s penis into a vagina. He can still sit to pee with what he’s got.

My last message was more about girls not starting their period or growing breasts. All of that could be kickstarted later if that became the choice.

Your brain continues to develop until around 25. I think that’s a pretty good marker.

As to where you’re commentary is headed…

Transitioning Children is fucking criminal, to me. 

Of allllll the shit we don’t let kids do…smoking…vote…drive(16 here)…drink(21 here)…join the military…buy a gun…etc., etc., etc….

Yet…and think on this…we’ll insist it’s ok for them to “transition” due to some psychotic social agenda held by an absolutely bent minority? (Yes…”bent…minority” in the political sense)

Uh, no.

"Transitioning Children is fucking criminal, to me."

And to me, I don't believe applying a blanket anti-transition statement to all parent / kids is the right move anymore than I believe applying a blanket pro-transition statement. That's all I'm trying to say, everyone of these cases are individualistic and it comes down to the conversations between the child and everyone in their circle (parents, family members, doctors, counselors, pastors, etc.)... who are any of us to say, "this is what is best for your child", when it comes to this matter?
