[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this your child? Because there are many legitimate support groups for parents of trans youth where you could have supportive and non judgmental help if that’s actually what you’re looking for. You are unlikely to find it here.

If you’re not a parent or sibling and this behavior is so bothersome, I would tell the parents and/or stop associating with the kid. I’d treat it like I’d treat any other extended family member I don’t like, which is trying to see them as little as possible.

If it’s not your kid, it’s not really your problem. If it is your kid, there are many better places to seek help than here.[/quote]

It's my stepchild, so someone I need to live with, and someone I love.  DH is in a support group, but he says the other parents in the support group don't have kids with this particular issue, that, if anything, their kids are more understanding of other people who are gender non-conforming, not less.

And to answer the PP, of course we address the behavior in the moment.  Kid knows it's not acceptable to say these things, but that doesn't mean he doesn't still feel that way.  [/quote]

Ok. I’m the poster who asked if this was your child. I’m the mom of a young adult trans daughter. I’ve generally found DCUM terrible for talking about trans issues, and my assumption was that you were a troll.

I do find this odd and it isn’t anything I’ve experienced or really seen people talk about (although admittedly I tend to focus on issues regarding trans women). But I also think you’re not going to find much help here. This needs to be addressed in family therapy. But also it sounds like you’re talking about maybe a 12 year old? Someone on blockers who hasn’t started HRT. This could be general preteen obnoxious behavior. It could be overcompensating for wanting to “catch up” with peers. There is no way to know.

Check out groups like the Mama Bears or Mama Dragons which require vetting to join. On an anonymous forum you’re not likely to get sensitive answers. [/quote]

His mom is active in those groups you mentioned, and I am positive she would not want me there.  I am going to respect that.

He’s 15, not on blockers, and too late to start so that’s not something to revisit.[/quote]
