[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just because exploring gender identity and sexuality is a trend right now doesn’t mean it’s harmful. So what if your kid comes up to and says she is pansexual? What is the harm in saying “okay I love you no matter what!” and leave it at that? Maybe they will change their mind later, maybe they won’t.

Exploring your identity is a very important part of adolescence. Let them explore.

I do think when you get into conversion therapy it’s different but hey guess what? There are mental and physical health professionals to guide you through that. If your kid actually wants to transition, the possibility that they will change their mind later is soooo small it’s not worth worrying about. What is worth worrying about is destroying your relationship and harming your child’s mental health by refusing to acknowledge that the kid knows their identity better than you do.

And yes I am very familiar with this phenomenon, I have a 12yo child who now identifies as non-binary and it seems like all their friends are identifying as something besides cis heterosexual. I have read their text messages and I know what’s going on. [/quote]

Exactly.  Leave them alone to explore.  Do not tell them to go explore because they should question themselves.  You are wrong about the chances of KID transitioning regretting it.  The chances are over 90% they will identify with their birth gender in young adulthood.  Beyond that age, the chances are very slim someone will eventually regret changing.  [/quote]

I’m talking about somebody who goes through TRANSITION chasing their mind. That is extremely rare. [/quote]
