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

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

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."

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.

You don't decide to be trans. It is transistion of kill yourself. You can decide to kill yourself, but transness is as biological in origin as homosexuality.

Gotta also address this. This has some truth but its really irrelavant as a point. Except for maybe being sterile, the effects of hormones are reversible on trans people. Just stop taking them, but a mtf might need to get their titties chopped off. Detransistion is pretty rare, even rarer are girls who get bottom surgery. Very few reget bottom surgery. We can compare this "regret" to other cures of other ailments and even though sometimes regret DOES happen, percentage wise Gential Surgery is massively successful when viewed as a cure. But like I said, girls who get bottom surgery are a minority. There was a psychologist lady who scoured as many cases of "regret" and "detransistioning" she could find,and out of 1000 cases she deemed I think 13 as legit regret. That's an awesome success rate. AWESOME.

That might be so as far as innate desire goes, but I'm referring to the actual decision of transitioning, that is something that somebody decides. Just like how one can be homosexual on the inside, but still choose to live a heterosexual lifestyle, even getting married and having children, as gay people frequently chose to do before the 1960's.

Eventually you kill yourself, or transition to some degree. Read the book Self Made Man. It's about a woman who lived life as a man for a year, using a team of professionals to help her pass. At the end she checks into a nuthouse for feeling suicidal. The longer you wait the harder you fall, always. Most late transpeople were either A: really good at staving off dysphoria with some techniques or B: The come out when most of their loved ones die so "its safe"

No, they're not. In fact this is something that doctors doing hormone therapy even say, that hormone blockers are reversible but the effects from taking the actual hormones themselves are not.
When you take for instance, male hormones, your clitoris grows in size, you develop thick body hair, a deep voice, and a masculine square jaw. These effects are not reversible at all. If you look up pictures of any heavyweight female bodybuilder, you can tell that she has masculinized extensively.

I'm sure the rates are very low. I just remember watching a documentary on TLC I believe? I don't really remember where, but it was about a male who transitioned to female, who ended up regretting his decision after surgery. I felt really bad for him, going through all that only to discover that you're just as unhappy or even worse off than you were before.

PS: gender is a linguistic concept denoting aspects of gender within a descriptive language, ie, hard, soft, manly, womanly, strong, weak, manly, womanly; get it? no...of course not.
then it turned into sex when people started using them interchangeably, without thinking...at all.

Eventually you kill yourself, or transition to some degree. Read the book Self Made Man. It's about a woman who lived life as a man for a year, using a team of professionals to help her pass. At the end she checks into a nuthouse for feeling suicidal. The longer you wait the harder you fall, always. Most late transpeople were either A: really good at staving off dysphoria with some techniques or B: The come out when most of their loved ones die so "its safe"
Humans have lived for centuries all throughout history without such an urgent need to transition or change sexes. I can't speak for trans people or how intensely they feel, but I just wanted to add that little fact to put things in perspective.

humans wouldn't have even grasped the concept of "transitioning" centuries ago...they'd either not have the concept at all, or would've been thrown in the psycheward. obviously for harboring crazy ideas. because humanity can't understand how things work.

Except for maybe being sterile, the effects of hormones are reversible on trans people.
No, they're not. In fact this is something that doctors doing hormone therapy even say, that hormone blockers are reversible but the effects from taking the actual hormones themselves are not.
When you take for instance, male hormones, your clitoris grows in size, you develop thick body hair, a deep voice, and a masculine square jaw. These effects are not reversible at all. If you look up pictures of any heavyweight female bodybuilder, you can tell that she has masculinized extensively.
Quote:
Very few reget bottom surgery. We can compare this "regret" to other cures of other ailments and even though sometimes regret DOES happen, percentage wise Gential Surgery is massively successful when viewed as a cure. But like I said, girls who get bottom surgery are a minority. There was a psychologist lady who scoured as many cases of "regret" and "detransistioning" she could find,and out of 1000 cases she deemed I think 13 as legit regret. That's an awesome success rate. AWESOME.
I'm sure the rates are very low. I just remember watching a documentary on TLC I believe? I don't really remember where, but it was about a male who transitioned to female, who ended up regretting his decision after surgery. I felt really bad for him, going through all that only to discover that you're just as unhappy or even worse off than you were before.
All I gotta say is boo fuckin hoo. No cure works 100% but transitioning is the best cure we have. That's why it take 18 months of therapy to even be allowed to get Genital Reassignment Surgery. I also think FtMs suffer the most confusion among the transfolk and seem to detransistion more.
Besisdes sterility, in MtF the effects are reversible with surgery, and the fat eventually distributes back into male places. FtMs are more shit out of luck as far as detransistioning because the effects are less reversible. I think very Transwoman centric as A: I'm not a transman and B: Transmen are a non issue in society.

How would I react if my child turned out to be gay? Easily: I would be supportive.
How would I react if my child turned out to be transgendered? Much less easily: I would be supportive.
I am a guy who considers himself to be heterosexual for the most part but I also find myself attracted to men. It would not at all be difficult for me to support gay children should I ever have them.
If my children turned out transgendered I think I would have a harder time supporting them only because it is something I'm less familiar with and am therefore less able to understand. When I was a little boy, one of my favorite things to do was to play dress up with my female cousins at Mema's house with all her costume jewelry and gowns. I felt really pretty. I've also imagined what it would be like to be a female a lot over my life but I feel like a guy and always have, even if I'm not a particularly masculine guy in the culturally traditional sense given the way I carry myself. I love doing traditionally masculine things and being a guy has for the most part always felt right, so my concern in supporting my hypothetical transgendered children is that I wouldn't have or couldn't figure out a way to find the necessary empathy needed to help fully understand.
I'd do my best to be supportive of my children if they were transgendered.

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.

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.

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.

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"

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.

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.

Patlal said: 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.
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.

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:

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.

it's much better to reproduce because then you can placate yourself when the ultimate meaninglessness of it all comes down full-force on you later in the future.

Reproduction is for cowards. If you want to have total control over the development of other human beings, start a cult like any decent person. This business of having children is nothing but spewing another psychotic ape into the world just so you can feel powerful.

Honestly I think I would be so amazed that I fathered and they survived that long. Babies freak me out. Their so vulnerable and helpless.
It's like asking if you get freaked out about your male dog trying to hump you. Just kinda shrug it off an tell them to go lay down and chill.

Perhaps everyone could just be human? You know do what you want and be who you want! The more we sensationalize these groups the more likely people will join them. The more we push it into the media and our schools the more hate it will receive and then boom they can take that right back to the media as a new story.
If it isn't clear all of these things are pushed out in a cycle that will never end so why bother discussing it? It's basically like asking "how would you react if your kids believed in god?"

why not discuss it? I mean yeah when you push things people are more likely to push back but um... Gay and trans folk didn't get treated with less hatred when no one talked about it.

Yeah that's rough. He definitely will be better off these days than when you were growing up tho, and twice as well off as when your parents were.

Yea isn't fair to ask why we discuss it because it's healthy compared to hate. Adopting certain words like "queer" for your group probably doesn't help tho

I'm good with kids and will play with them more than they're moms. 
But this one girl I was casually dating a while back asked if I could watch her kids for an hour or 2. Umm I don't know what do I do. Dude you'll be fine as long as they aren't choking or on fire your good. Oh OK.
But the littlest one was just freaking out. Uhhh fuck I dunno. I was living with my Ma and my dad was visiting at the time. Dad let him steam the strings on the guitar. Haha I have no idea how to take care of a child. 
MA was like do you like to color? She had just gotten things to draw on the window as it was Christmas time. They saved me on that one.

I like the label queer. It's very vague. And since when you use the label people know you intend to be vague there's rarely reason to explain it.
I'm pretty queer in both senses of the word, though I don't use it alot because the... Secondary stereotypes that has grown with the word iss very unbecoming of ladies like me. Likewise I rarely call myself a feminist, for the same reason. Funny how labels meant to combat stereotypes tend to just end up forming more stereotypes.

Supportive for all, except the cheesecake. I cannot deny the things that I would do to a cheesecake if I was stoned enough and there was nothing in my fridge.

Dude I ate almost an entire brownie cheesecake by myself last month. I had cheesecake for dinner 4 nights in a row.
It's your birthday they said.
You can indulge for one day they said. And left pretty much the whole fuckin cake to me cuz noone else indulged.

How does somebody eat that much cake in one sitting? I can see eating 2 or maybe 3 slices... but don't you feel like it's way too sweet and you've had enough after the 3rd slice?
It's like red meat. Red meat is one of those things you can't eat too much of in one sitting, because you start feeling sick.

Not in one sitting. It was over the course of a week. And tbh at the end there I was just eating it because I loathe throwing away food. I felt pretty shitty after the third day but I felt obligated to finish it.
I think I'm good on cheesecake for about a year now (it's still awesome tho)

I was reading that Jenny McCarthy became 211lbs while pregnant, because she had really bad sweet tooth cravings. Apparently she would bake herself a tray of brownies every single night and then eat the entire thing in one sitting.
211 pounds though, holy fucking shit... that's just soooooo much weight to gain in 9 months time.

That's... Scary. I can't imagine having food cravings so intense it overrides sickness and extreme weight gain. Plus does that effect the baby?

I am very happy my parents continued to love and support me after I came out as trans. I know many other trans/gay people got kicked out of their home and have no communication with their parents. It is quite sad for someone to get abandoned by all family at 16 and putting them into a position where they have to do anything to survive. There is a reason trans suicide rates are so high especially when family disowning is involved.

Sorry to hear that, went through similar except I was 13 and I'm straight. Can happen to anybody but it's really low to blame it on who you are (or who you became?) Not sure how to word that non offensively

Yeah its a very traumatic and hateful thing to do, incredibly so when it comes to your own kids. Its difficult for me to comprehend really.

If you know other trans kids who have been kicked out especially as teenagers, please let them know there are resources specifically for LGBT youth who find themselves homeless.

Well it gets calories and different from the brownies, just like it would any other food. I'm sure the baby's fine.

My Ma freaked out when my sister came out. Sobbing and just not OK with it. I was actually visiting home at the time. So I had to deal with that fucking cluster fuck.
MA chill she found someone that makes her feel less alone. Who cares sister is happy. They're getting married soon. 
She got over the initial shock and couldn't really be happier about it.
