Trans insanity
I had NO problem with **/lesbian/gay/whatever people or culture EVER. ** I even had my fun back in my 20's ( am 48 now ) but what the ** has happened to kids these days? I am a step father to a 14 year old girl who has changed her name 4 times this year and insists she is a boy and all her friends are the same and society is 100% behind all this and is recommending hormone therapy and Testosterone asap instead of sorting out mental/emotional health problems that increasing amounts of kids these days are facing. With the pressures of constantly being monitored by each other on social media and the general state of the world ( that they all know about due to internet ) it's no wonder they are so incredible stressed. I would hate to be growing up in these times. BUT I think how it's being handled is nothing short of ** insane. If you even MENTION anything other than what the kid wants you are yelled at as transphobic etc. It's horrible.
>>I don't want a whole generation of kids growing up saying things like "HOW could you let me change myself when you KNEW it was possibly a phase and now it's affected me for life".
Very noble, but how do you propose to do that? For one thing, you have no influence over every single person under 25. Nobody does. For another, if you want to experience a combination of End Times, Armageddon, and Friday afternoon at the DMV, say the 'N' word (= "NO") to a young person's face. Go ahead. BOOM! Bring on the shrieking, screaming, slamming of doors, "You're ruining my life!!!!!", sneaking around behind your back anyway, accusations of "abuse" and/or "neglect", etc. etc. etc.
So. Which one's it gonna be? Daring to take a stand and telling these confused yet entitled young people to hold off on what they will swear up and down is their "dream" and "who they really are, honest"? Or will you do what too many parents do these days: indulge them and then later on catch the screed quoted at the top of this comment? Either way you're a terrible old person and the young person is a traumatized victim. If you want to play that hopelessly rigged game, go right ahead.
Yeah I know exactly what you mean. That's why I was upset enough to start this post. Sick of getting yelled at for " miss gendering" a 14 yr old. Not "noble " at all. Just trying to be a bit reasonable. But ** it's hard to impossibly.
Aw mate, reason has nothing whatsoever to do with anything socially these days. " 'Social' " media is anything but. We're able to communicate with people all over the world, like I'm doing with you right now, but most people use this amazing ability for attention grabbing. Everyone is demanding attention, but refusing to LISTEN. And none of this is going away until they learn.
I don't think kids should change in 10 years they will be kids during parents for letting them change because it was neglect and they didn't think through what would happen. I'm not trying to play victim when I say I fear school. I've been pulled out because I can't focus on paranoid my school is threatened by other kids there because of bullying. My whole gen. is fuckked and half of it doesn't make sense to me. I think a lot of y'all read my comment wrong because I agree with all the comments I think I just came across wrong
>I typed fast ignore the spelling
I can type 85 words a minute. I make mistakes and typos, but I do this crazy thing called checking before I click Post or Send. I learned to do it *without* autocorrect, too. No more excuses for you.
Sorry I sent it before reading over it. I'll try and remember to do that. I've been super stressed this week my mom's been in and out of the hospital ,not a excuse for poor grammar, I've been stressed and things slip my mind. Humans make mistakes
