Guys - Your Son Wants to Become a Woman?

[FreddieGomez]

i have a son and i wouldn't accept it.

[marissaaz]

That's what my father did to me. It happens to a lot of us. Trust me: it wouldn't help and your child would end up hating you for it.

About 10 yrs ago I met this guy through a group I belong to who was my father's age, late 60's. He was a former US Marine during the Korean War and taught for 30 years in inner city public high schools. He had 5 sons from 25-40 yrs old. Only the eldest was married. He told me during a long road trip that he wondered if any of his 4 youngest was gay. I was blown away by the idea that he would even think about such an idea. But he went on and explained that he read books for parents with gay, or possibly gay, children. He said the books told him not to directly ask his children, to allow them to come out on their own, as it's a big deal for them. But at the end of the conversation he said something quite illuminating...

"I'd like to think I would handle it well, but who knows. It's all hypothetical bullshit. I won't know for sure how I'll handle it until I face the situation."

And that's the truth, as I see it. Y'all can contemplate how well you'd handle a son wanting to transition, but the truth is you're just future-tripping.

[Coroner]

Well, I would accept it and support him/her because it´s the only rational way. Of course, I´d keep him/her away from Daryl Washington.

[BlkJewels]

Wouldnt approve of it. Wouldnt like it. But wouldnt disown him. Its his life.

"I'd like to think I would handle it well, but who knows. It's all hypothetical bullshit. I won't know for sure how I'll handle it until I face the situation."

Yah, that's it right there. You never know until it happens. Rednecks say they'll disown their gay children, then embrace them in their hour of need. Liberal parents are horrified when one of their kids comes out. I'm not even addressing the gender-variant issue here.

My son is my son. If he wanted to be my daughter, I'd have some issues with it, but he/she is still my blood kin. As it is, he already has the tats and background (The surrogate at my ex's Lamaze classes and also present with us at his birth was F2M and both I and my ex have had a number of openly gay friends in his presence) to swing to either end or the middle.

I don't see it happening with my son, but if it did, my only concern would be if he got along with his TS step-mom.

[Coroner]

I´d agree with that, too, b1. But sure, I hope this never happens.

Yup. My father is one of these. How do you spell irony? T-r-a-n-s-s-e-x-u-a-l.
