how would you react if your child wanted to transition?

[LibertyHarkness]

ok chaps and girls.

well this is more for the chaps

question time for you .. how would you react if your child(if you have/had one) decided that they was a Woman/Male be it male to female/female to male ...

Would you support them?
Help them?
Deter Them?
Boot them out ?
Hide them away in shame ?

thoughts please ?

I would never ever intentionally have children, but if I did I guess I would support whatever choices they made. I wouldn't mind how they turned out, aslong as they turned out happy.

I would support and help my child if i had one since im ts myself, but what i dont know is how hard it would be to cope with the fact that the daughter/son you always wanted is a boy/girl..

Oh and sorry, not a chap, but i hope you dont mind!

If I had a kid I would support his orher decision 100% and stand by him or her through thick and thin.


On another note: that's a very nice avatar you have there, Mayrah!

I think everyone should name their kids with androgynous names to make it easier if they decide to transition, e.g. Robin, Taylor, Ashley, Cameron, Casey, Devin, Jamie, Kelly, Quinn, Riley, etc

I actually talked about this and other related subjects with this girl I was pretty heavy with. I would support my child if they were transgendered, gay, or whatever. Just because they identify with a different gender or attracted to another sex does not make them less of my child. Unfortunately, the girl I was with didn't agree eye-to-eye with me and said she would beat the gay out of the child or if the child was transgendered refuse to acknowledge that the child is transgendered.

I would hope that the guys on this board would support and help their child transition. Any guy that said they wouldn't is a serious hypocrite, but it's their choice I suppose.
