[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As long as my teen grows up to have a good and honorable person, has a good career and can support a family,  provide me with grandchildren (biological or adopted)  and is not a jerk I do not care for the sexual orientation or gender identity.  There are  worse things to be than a transgender person for example the current POTUS.[/quote]

[b]Actually I strongly disagree with you. When kids think they are transgender, MDs and therapists will convince you your kid needs to be on hormones...and likely will need sex reassignment surgery. There are dangerous side effects to both. They cause irreversible changes.

The problem is that many kids are falsely identifying as transgender when what they really need is time for their brains to develop and counseling. Studies show -- that if left alone -- most of these kids will grow up to be fine in their bodies. But gender therapists don't tell you that. They use very misleading statistics to imply that if you don't transition your kid, they are at risk for suicide.

I speak from experience. I fell for this crap. Now my daughter is paying the price.

This is not just some harmless trend...[/quote]

I don't believe you for a second. Stop spreading dangerous, bigoted lies.  I work in the field.  None of the experiences I have been a part of, nor the myriad of stories I have been privy to both personally and professionally, track with what you are saying.  I suspect your son is very ashamed of you. [/quote]
