You're 5 kinds of confused kitty. Transvestite is a fetish.
In a lot of states you need the surgery for a legal sex change but for a medical sex change all you need is to be "living as the opposite sex" which normally starts with hormone replacement therapy. But it can also start with simply cross dressing and refering to yourself as he or she vs she or he.

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.
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.
How can we not talk about the surgery?
Because like the surgery is literally end game stuff, and not many people have it. Also, the cases of surgical regret are so small I find it an inefffective argument. There's so much more to do. Bottom surgery also has not too much to do with passing in public, which is what the first 2-5 years of transitioning are about. Using bottom surgery as a central argument is trying to portay the exceptions as what is really the most common. Girls with neovaginas are the minority.
I def want the surgery, but not until I've matured.

Pretty positive my son is gay and me and my wife have suspected it for quite a while now. The only part of it that really bothers me is my oldest friend (who I grew up with practically) is gay and I saw what he endured (and still does to some extent). Things are better than they were back then but it still puts a target on his back all the same. He's just about to reach the age where sexuality is going to become a big part of his life and I'm not really looking forward to it. Other than that, I imagine my reactions to his sexuality would be the same as if he were straight.
I dunno if I could say the same about him being trans. I wouldn't shun him for it or anything but if I'm being honest, I really dunno how I would react beyond that. I grew up with a gay best friend so I'm pretty well conditioned to that and there are really no surprises or anything.. I've never actually known a trans person.

there's a reason the word queer was adopted by the LGBT community. It means different or weird. These days I don't think your kid will get anymore shit for being gay than just for being weird. Unless you are in the deep south or some other ultra conservative center.

I'm semi-passable at the moment and live in a turkish neighborhood. So far so good. I think in the 90's it would have been soul-crushingly worse. But ja, in general conservative areas are usually worse.

I would lock them in their bedroom with a copy of the bible until they prayed it away. No food, electricity or leaving.
Gay is a sin. Can't have that in my house.
Transgender and i kill them. No questions about it.

I'd LOL and ask them where the hell they're getting their information from and who is the person brainwashing them. I'd be hard-pressed to believe that a 10 year old kid would be that passionate about politics without somebody else grinding those wheels behind the scenes. Pretty sure a kid that age doesn't even know what the fuck he's saying as far as complex political matters go.

lavod said: It's a shame to see so many who would not feel right if their child were transgender.
For me it's not really the fact that they want to transition that would bother me. The part that bothers me is the fact that I know how hard their life is going to be. As stated previously, being transgender is associated with higher suicide rates and rates of mental illness.
Add to that the fact that they're going to be bullied at some point in their lives, they might even be seriously injured or killed by somebody in a hate crime one day. No parent wants their child to be a victim of a crime, there are legitimate concerns and worries that come with having a transgender child.
That's why if they start getting curious and developing those kinds of thoughts at an early age, I'd try to dissuade them or distract them as long as possible.
I mean, they say 1 out of 12 transwomen risk getting murdered or something? Those are crazy statistics if true.
Also this thread reminds me of the episode of Boondocks where grandpa thinks his grandson Riley is gay:

What about a 14 or 15 year old? teenagers are the most opinionated age of all.

Yeah at the teenage age it's most definitely possible they know what they're talking about, that is roughly the age they start learning economics and civics and other more complex concepts about society. I remember reading about and getting into concepts such as anarchism and communism around that age, though I also naturally had a lot of misconceptions about it because I wasn't receiving the right information.
So I'd quiz them and ask them questions about our government and about their beliefs, just so I'm sure they know exactly what they're talking about, and they aren't being brainwashed by some conspiracy nutter organization.
And of course I'd teach him or her to fact check everything they find, especially on memes circulating on social media, as a considerable percentage of them are false.

Transgender people have existed in some societies, even in early American and European society. But the ones living in the 1600's or 1700's in America who were trans were so far deep in the closet, that even their own spouses didn't know they were trans. Apparently some of these people had completely sexless marriages.
So, they did exist, but in far fewer numbers than today, and the ones that did exist in early American history were completely in the closet about it. I remember learning about these people in a gay and lesbian history class, it was pretty informative.

indeed, they were kept closeted, because if they didn't, they'd either be clapped in the brig, so to speak, or there'd be "scientists" of the day measuring her head's size, before examining her genitals for any oddities, and maybe a lobotomy. no shit you'd keep that closet under lock and key.
