[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you need to find out what "rejected" means in this case, preferably from the parents themselves.

I'm not trying to be flip or to minimize the pain of parents' nonacceptance. However, as a LGBTQ adult raising a LGBTQ kid (and a cishet kid), [b]I can tell you that this generation is...excitable. Anything short of a personal pride parade is received as lack of acceptance.

So...figure out what "rejected" means here. Is it kind of reluctant acceptance? Confusion but general desire to understand? Or is it being thrown out of the house or threatened with violence? [/quote]

Thank you.  I have found some of this...a bit alarming.   Statistics just don't support the sheer number of kids (mostly girls) that seem to be LGBTQ+ at my kids' school now.  I'm a little puzzled by it.  (I know this is off topic, sorry).

OP--I think you need to find out what "rejected" means, exactly.  Like the PPs have said.[/quote]. JK Rowling has been hauled over coals for talking about this - the sudden huge number of girls identifying as trans to boys seems unlikely to be biological dysmorphia from scientific evidence to date. She argues (I think but may have misread her) that girls see all the misogynistic messaging/ #metoo movement awareness of how wide spread sexual assaults against women and girls are, in addition to social media normalization of gender fluidity/ morphing, and want out of their gender. JK Rowling is questioning the wisdom of allowing irreversible gender surgery while youth are still growing and reports stats that many later regret their decision. Obviously, it will be the right decision for many but it is unlikely that so many trans youth are purely biological in origin, and this means they may change their mind after hormones and weird school social dynamics settle down.

There is ostracism of more traditional girly girls at our private and the slightest questioning of the wide spread trans explosion is met with decisions of trans and homo phobia.

In this instance, I can imagine Korean Christian families (which often seem like Asian versions of Leave it to Beaver US families from 50 years ago, may not be ready to culturally to accept this rather recent social tsunami of gender transitioning.

I think it is great you offered a safe haven - as long g as you are sure she is not safe at home. Maybe they just need time to adjust to her changing needs/ identity.[/quote]
