It's obvious that anon is clueless and making shit up, but what gets me about things like this is that it's not hard to have a conversation with a child if they do feel this way. "At your age, there are no surgeries. But if you want, you can pick out clothes that feel nice, you can use pronouns that feel right, and you can even pick a different name for us to call you. When you're older, if you still feel like it's the right choice, we'll talk about it then."

I have a kid who lived as a girl for a while because he thought he was trans. It was for like a year. I spoke about the ignorant reaction from the education system at a government committee, but that was the only downside. Nothing bad happened. He wore dresses, grew his hair out, took the name I would have given him if he was born a girl, and then said "I think I'm a boy after all" and we changed it all back. He wasn't hurt by it. And if he really was trans, this would have made him feel confident and safe and loved.

Now, years later, his sister and he openly talk to me about everything. Just a few weeks ago they happily opened up to me about if they like girls or boys or both, and I didn't have that with my parents as a queer kid.

Transphobes are scared of made up problems. Just nothing.

this is so fucking funny like all the little girls in madeline wanted their appendixes removed after madeline had hers removed, and that book was written in 1939. "kids wanting surgery they don't understand" isn't a new problem, or even really a "problem" at all. every adult on the planet just responds "no you can't have surgery but if u want a neat scar we can maybe draw that on with makeup, and if you want to be trans we can get you different clothes for a bit"

yall will talk about regular common medical conversations but put the word ~trans~ in front of it and suddenly its a big scary idea.

this pool is jarring against the background of your californian McMansion….splurge on that house but not on an in-ground pool?

That possibly dad individual on the right is so ripped what the heck

it’s the laps he does in that pool every morning
