More than just undies:The smallest details are the most important for parents of transgender kids

EVERY day, 11-year-old Jake* runs to the letterbox to check if the postman has been. For four weeks he’s been waiting for a parcel that seems as if it will never come.

Of course these days you can order anything online, but this isn’t like any other purchase his mum, Ellie, has ever made.

“It appears perhaps that our order has been held up in customs,” Ellie says. “That’s something else that just makes me aware of how weird and how covert this could seem to others.”

Even though Ellie desperately wants to help her son, she is the first to admit that it has been an emotional and mental challenge to “try to imagine what it may be like to need this so much.”

Jake is a transgender boy who came out nearly a year ago. The box from America that Ellie and Jake are expecting contains two types of items. One is a so-called “stand-to-pee,” a silicone device that allows someone with female genitalia to stand up while urinating.

The second type of item in the parcel will be a soft, washable “packer,” that gets sewn into underwear to create the outward appearance of male genitalia. “It’s desperately important for him in order to feel comfortable and pass [as a boy] all the time,” Ellie says.

For a tiny group trying desperately for acceptance and to appear normal, every last story about trannies, even from sympathetic media, makes them come off like total freaks.

A trip to a trusted mental health professional should be on the list.

At first I read the first sentence as:

EVERY day, 11-year-old Jake* runs to the litterbox.....

Guess Jake* isn’t a cat, or a transcat.

This world is turning into a sick slime hole. It’s hard to believe how much mental disease is celebrated these days.

Oh by the way, I have decided that I feel like I was born a billionaire so will start writing checks tomorrow, I’m sure the liberals will be on my side and make sure they are honored.

““It’s desperately important for him in order to feel comfortable and pass [as a boy] all the time,” Ellie says.”

She uses the word “pass”, so she knows it is all a superficial deception, and she wants to help her child to do it. What kind of parent helps their child to lie, instead of teaching their child that lying is wrong???

And this isn’t considered a mental illness? These folks are normal? Seriously?

If you have to go through all that trouble to pretend to be a boy, you are NOT a boy. Have the courage to accept reality, young man.

A “packer" - so that's what they call it.

I thought you needed a paper bag to determine whether someone could ‘pass’.

There is no such thing as "transgender kids."

Just confused and mentally ill parents.

The results of the Pink Pervert Mafia, and the ever militant pro-sodomy subculture.
And, of course, their PC supporters and families.

The rest of us remain normal and proud.

Moving right along...

Anybody else get the impression that the media are pushing more stories about the “T” in “LBGT”???

Could it be that now that the battle over homosexual marriage is over, that now they are moving on to pushing transwhatever issues, now that they succeeded in pushing homosexuality on us???

How the heck can “transgender kids” express themselves, if they didn’t have liberal enabling parents????

Can any of you imagine, your parents or grandparents reaction to this, and them enabling any of their family claiming to be a boy in a girl’s body and all this we are expected to swallow nowadays???

Oh, he’s transgendered in that direction. I was thinking of special order “panties with a pouch.”

“Or a simple sock with a bratwurst?”

Always remember to put it in the front.

An oxymoron if ever their was one. "Mental health professionals" have been the problem over the past 5 decades.

...Ellie desperately wants to help her son...

Well, first of all...Ellie...take a quick look between the childs legs and you'll see that you are talking about your daughter.

Second, after you have come to this stunning and shocking conclusion that "he" really is a girl...set the child down, apologize for the terrible injustice you have inflicted on the child for however many years you have been abusing the child, then explain to the child, that, yes...you are a girl.

Then, cancel the stupid order for the fake penis, take the child by the hand and head for the nearest nut doctor, preferably one that is capable of dealing with both of you, because, assuredly, the child is warped by now.

Oh, and you may want to make a stop by your local clergy and request prayers for yourself and the child and seek the forgiveness of God for the harm you have allowed to be inflicted on the child.
