[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Or, would  you  provide a "binder" for  someone else's child?

My 14  YO DD is gay and gender non conforming.  I've  been supportive, take child to therapist and respect new name she  has chosen (she hasn't rejected female prononuns as of  yet).   She lately has taken to wearing a binder.     I assume most in this forum know what that is but  just in case, it's like a very tight sports bra that flattens the breasts to achieve a less  female/more  masculine body shape.  The first binder DD got was  too small;  I purchased  one for  her  that fits.

DD asked  me for the  old  binder so she can give it to a friend at school.  I had thrown it  out as  it  doesn't fit anyone else in the  family.    DD's  says Friend wants to wear a binder but  friend's parents are not  supportive.  They are  "Homophobic"  or so my  daughter  says.  I said  I'm sorry but I'm not providing a  binder  to someone else's child.  That's a private matter  between friend and friend's parents.

Setting aside who owns the old, too-small binder; am I  crazy for  thinking I  shouldn't  be  providing underwear  to other  people's  teenagers?   Especially transition wear to a kid whose parents aren't supportive?

If  the friend wanted  thongs (just  because  they make her  feel good) I wouldn't provide  them.   Or if she wanted another  prohibited garment (that  her parents prohibited) I wouldn't provide it.

My DD says I am supporting homophobic behavior  on the part of  the other   parents. Please reality  check me DCUM.      [/quote]

you are allowing your child to manipulate you and she will continue to push you because sh e knows you will do as she wants [/quote]
