How would you react if your child was a breitbart quoting, white nationalist meme spreading trump supporter?

Replying to me? I would try to find a way to support my children regardless of their poltical inclinations and whether or not I supported said political inclinations.
Would you support your child veering off-topic unnecessarily?

Who givesa fuck, its who your child is. Love him/her unconditionally and give as much support as you can. You're a fucking worthless scumbag if you disown your child for those reasons.

I fully support homosexuality.
Transsexuality I don't have enough information about it. I don't understand the thought preocess behind it. I guess that's 100% normal. I've never once even thought of having my penis surgically removed and the thought of it makes me cringe. It sould worry about never having an orgasm again. Even though it's probably a safe procedure, I can't wrap my head around it. It seems dangerous to me.
That being said, if that's what would make my child happy I would have no choice to be supportive. But if for some reason something goes wrong and he can longer longer achieve sexual satisfaction and descends into depression, I would feel guilty for supporting the surgery.
Then again, this is an uninformed opinion only.

then it turned into sex when people started using them interchangeably, without thinking...at all.
Sort of... it's definitely not just a linguistic concept any more. Examples of this linguistic concept would include using "he" or "she" to refer to people, or in a language like French, having to use their equivalents for inanimate objects that may have no obvious traits corresponding a biological sex. Someone decided at some point that a chair or a table or whatever was a "he" or a "she", and the reasons for the choice may be irrelevant now. In English, calling ships "she" is the same idea.
The newer social-sciencey meaning doesn't conflate gender with biological sex either, and it was developed intentionally through academic discourse rather than by accident through sloppy word use.
There are also people who believe that sex and gender are just synonyms, but it definitely is not the case that the only correct interpretation of the word "gender" is the linguistic one.

This is what I don't get everyone keeps mentioning "the surgery" In the rare case your child is trans there is a very rare case they will want bottom surgery
Also, facial feminization surgery I consider to be far more desirable.
All in all, genital reassignment surgery is a very very very small piece of the puzzle and is practically an irrelevant point of discussion in my opinion.

If it was gay I'd be like good for you. If it was transgender I'd tell it good for you and secretly go cry in my room.

It's a shame to see so many who would not feel right if their child were transgender. Interestingly, my bestie's mom encouraged her to transition because it's more accepted in Thai culture to be MtF trans rather than a gay male. Her mom and late dad were very supportive ov their child and they went through a progressive transition themselves in accepting their child in hir development. She is happy and comfortable with being trans. And maybe if more parents and people in general encouraged individual freedom as opposed to being shackled by moral retardation, then perhaps the suicide rate would'nt be so high.
The only war is love versus restriction.

Really, you would be supportive of your kids using drugs too? Because usually even drug users tend to be wary about letting their kids experiment with and use drugs.
my son has already admitted to me that he has smoked the marijuanas, he came right out and told me about it because I have the sort of relationship with my kids that they are not afraid to tell me anything. I didnt lecture him on the dangers of drugs but we did discuss the subject and the rules regarding any future drug use such as "dont get high and drive", "dont get caught" and "dont be a retarded hippie dumbass with black light posters all over your room"

Cheesecakes are great
Yeah basically how I feel.
I thiiink I understand human psychology well enough to know my kid by the time they're 13 or 14 and know whether they might be trans, or something to the claim of it, or being confused. Same goes for being gay.
Not everyone that claims one stance or another as an actual child really is what they say or think they are. I'm not against transgender teenagers but it is a very serious concern of mine on how the parents and the health establishment handles it. A strong push in either way can and likely will scar them for the rest of their lives.

Cuz alot of trans folk don't get surgery. Or if they do it's often not until their 30s, when you definitely don't have much say in what they do in their life.
