How would you react if your child turned out to be gay or transgendered?

Inquiring minds must know, every survey you fill-out helps the DEA do its job to keep non-violent drug offenders off the street.
Do your part.

I'd try to convince them to not be trans. Trans seems unhealthy

We might need a new poll for that one
Would it make a difference if they were a Puerto Rican Transsexual?

I'd be supportive about them being gay. Actually a part of me would be quite happy about this fact. Of all the people out there in this world, I'm probably one of the best parents that kid could have been born into as far as gay lifestyle acceptance goes.
Shoot I'll go with them to all the pride parades each year and hook them up on Grindr and everything. I'm already part of the gay and lesbian inner circle, so I have all the numbers for the LGBT resource centers and art shows and everything. I'd have all the bases already covered. So I would be happy that at least that gay kid ended up with somebody like me, and not a psycho parent that makes them suicidal.
As for trans though, it really depends on how old they are. If they are small children, I would try to dissuade them or discourage them from pursuing this as long as possible. But if they end up reaching age 14 and are still really persistent about being trans, or end up suffering serious psychological problems because they are unable to express themselves, I might allow them to start taking those hormone blockers and shit.
But they would have to be old enough to make decisions about their own body, like at least 13 or 14 I think. Since I think that's also roughly the right age to allow them to decide if they want to take birth control for themselves too. I'd of course inform them about all the side effects and health issues that come with taking all these hormones, like that it can cause yeast infections, low sex drive, breast cancer, infertility, etc.
A part of me would be somewhat disappointed if they decided to be trans yes, just because it's not what I envisioned at all when I was expecting either a boy or a girl in my womb, but eventually I'd accept it if that's what they absolutely wanted, and they never wavered or questioned their determination even for one second. Ultimately the goal is to turn them into an adult that makes their own decisions and makes their life.

I can support a lot of things, but that doesn't mean I have to like it. I would nit be happy about a supposedly trans kid. It's my belief that it's becoming a societal and psychological problem aside from the odd case that may have some biological merit(though still not the proper course of action IMO). But my kids are my kids. If you don't love and support them then you've already fucked up.

As parents, most of us assume we take ownership of our children, but they are free thinking human beings with their own path. We can guide them but we do not own them. I will neither support nor abort, what will be is what will be, my input is not necessary.

as long as they are healthy and happy, i could care less how they decide to live their own life and would always love and support--unless they told me one day that they were an anarcho-capitalist, in that case i would have a post-birth abortion

Gay- supportive Trangender- due to massive suicide rate amongst this group I would be extremely concerned and wouldn't be nearly as accepting as I would if they were gay.

so are you advocating for a hands off approach? because that kinda sounds like how most reptiles raise their young, not mammals
although i agree with the sentiment of letting children be their own person, i feel that involved parental care/support is an important aspect in the development of any social animal; especially humans, what with our stunted, restricted, and confused instincts--we are not intended to stand alone

those suicide rates are often because of the lack of support

I was just about to say that, those gay and trans suicide rates are usually due to lack of parental, friend, and community support.
So for trans, I would try to persuade them against it, but ultimately I'd accept it and support them just the same if they were very insistent about it. I just really want them to be sure that's what they really want, as there have been some cases of people who've even gone through the gender reassignment surgery only to later regret it and change their minds.

Hardly, as I said, we can guide our children, but I don't agree with doing the thinking for them. Some decisions are for them and them only and your input is not necessary. At most I would reply to my child with "If that feels right to you, do that."
I'm not a lizard.

I was thinking the same, there are a lot of homeless gay and trans teens.

sunshine, I have always been a supporter of 'be who you are'. I've known a lot of gay and trans folk in my lifetime and never had issues with any of them, many I have a great deal of respect for
contrary to popular belief, I support gay marriage because equality is a constitutional right, I support legalization of drugs as long as the drug user is required to take responsibility of their own actions, I support abortions because I think everyone should have at least one. I'm getting mine next week

I couldnt imagine a scenario where I would boot one of my kids out or turn my back on them, it would have to be something horrific. I've raised them better than that
