This is all very true for ROGD kids. Something that gets overlooked is the case where an adult child with emotional or mental issues gets sucked into ROGD. Such parents have no recourse, either. My kids (one girl and one boy) blocked me from all contact when I didn’t become an instant trans-groupie. I found out indirectly that one has begun surgeries and the other is planning on them. I feel sometimes that this is all meant to disrupt families for some reason.
Completely agree. I mistrust and statistics or mentions of "family rejection" I read about. I think in reality probably very few families actually "reject" their child when they say they have gender issues.
YES. And, to be clear, the claim that denying your child synthetic hormones and risky surgeries to alter their body's appearance and turn them into life-long medical patients is like forbidding a gay child from acting on their natural same-sex attraction is ridiculous. There is no world in which alteration of one's physical appearance - particularly in an otherwise healthy body - is the means by which any child may become their "true self." The piggy-backing of trans ideology on the rights of homosexual people to live authentically is manipulative, offensive and wrong.
Great article and analogy. In every area of life parents are allowed to protect their children except with their trans exception. Thank you for calling out those who conflate sexual orientation with gender confusion. They are completely different things.
