At 17 peer pressure is the greatest influence upon individual identity.

I would be supportive, and ask one request of her, “That she not do anything that might be harmful to her body until after age 25.”

I’ve worked with a lot of lesbians over the years to help them better to understand themselves, never to judge.

Often, when a child has developed no individual sense of self and they leave the family influence to enter college, the new peer pressure to fit in with their group of friends is very strong.

For many of them, it is a peer group identity, not an individual identity.

I would tell them it is their decision but they will not make it with my money.

That means no college money, no housing money—and they must move out when they are eighteen.

a. Since I an a father I would ask where her father is.

b. I would tell her I love her, but that it would be tough fatherly, honest, love.

c. I would also tell her she has no idea, nor will she ever know, what it is like to be a male.

d. I would tell her that she doesn’t get to pick the name that I address her by.

e. Hormones and surgery are about the worst decisoion she could make.

She needs to be sat down and told she’s been lied to.

There are only males and females, through science and though hormone treatment can modify, it will not change that fact that one is either male or female.

Today a woman can live and love whomever. Physically altering one’s being never ends well.

Step 1. Stop using the word “support.” What this mother is thinking of doing for her mentally ill isn’t “supportive,” it’s “enabling.” She may as well buy her daughter a bottle of vodka and a package of razor blades and tell her, “Go ahead, slit your wrists.”

“...the fact that she was born very much in the wrong gender and body.”

Nope, sorry. A newborn is like a piece of clay. It doesn’t know what it is. It only knows that it is a result of what happens around it. It knows discomfort and comfort. It knows what it feels like hot, cold, pain, and sometimes wet, not what others feel or determine for it. It trusts and distrusts based upon how it feels. And if the feeling is preferable or frightening will create a behavior. It doesn’t even know it is poopy until it is taught that being stinky is not a good behavior as it is discomforting to others. (Potty training)

There cannot be anything that provides a determined behavior in a newborn so everything that is provided to the child to react to is involuntary until the behavior is learned.

Let’s supposed there is no gender identity. Then everything would be accomplished through task. But that’s impossible as what we call men can’t have babies. And transformed gender can’t either except for desires to accomplish something at a personal level.

So are we not describing learned behavior? And a child does not have that or can interpret that until they can be taught. So what they are taught is what they are. Not what they are born as.

Pretty high, as it indicates that Marcia herself is seriously f***ed up. As I’ve heard so many gay actors and musicians lament, “My mother made me a homosexual!”

To which a gay friend of mine used to reply, “That’s wonderful. If I buy her the yarn will she make me one too?”

Step 2. Understand that a 17-year-old girl is NOT a rational human being, she’s an unexploded bomb that could go off with the slightest jar, and that “gender reassignment therapy” is EXACTLY like suicide in that it’s a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Daughter needs to get into serious therapy to figure out WHY she’s so unhappy with being a woman, and family therapy would probably help, too.

I would not accept a tranny kid. To do so would be accepting non reality.

The liberal “science” is, that they can change the XX chromosome pair and the XY chromosomes . . . by wishful thinking.

When, the science is, that they are not really “coming out,” but are instead, projecting.

Liberals are projection artists - what they project “is real,” they assert; and “something must be done about it.”

Obsessive, compulsive, anxiety, disorder, and self-destruction. That, they “think” is “normal” as long as they have conservative guardrails that keep them going.

Liberals are usually trying to get rid of the guardrails, and they blame the guardrails, but when the guardrails are gone, they get:

- Detroit, MI
- Chicago, IL
- Portland, OR
- San Francisco, CA
- Baltimore, MD
- Philadelphia, PA
- New York, NY

Open borders - no guardrails.

If one of my children did that and I had the means to do it I’d immediately pack up the whole family and move as far away as I could get. Something or someone in the local area is influencing this nuttery and the daughter needs to be gotten out of that environment as soon as possible to try and get her head screwed on right. It’s no different than having a child that’s dabbling with drugs and hanging out with a bunch of druggie losers, yank them out of it ASAP and get them into a better environment.

The teacher from Florida, who uses she/her pronouns has been removed from a classroom in the Hernando School District (HSD) and police have seized three firearms and ammunition from her home.

The democrats just keep stirring the pot with their “woke” rhetoric. Kamala Harris should be impeached for her seditious “call to action” Nashville speech. They are hoping to entitle mentally unstable suicidal Trans misfit killers to murder as many as possible, then blame the guns.

There may be an ideology but there ain’t no such thing as “transgender”.

FTA: .... she’s always enjoyed doing girly things with me, like shopping and manicures and Real Housewives binges.::

Gee, encouraging your daughter to watch such trash programming is not a good idea. I wonder what other garbage she has watched that has twisted her thinking.

Here is a good parental response:

Don’t know if it’s for real, but some FReeper posted a story about a father responding to this garbage by claiming he is now a woman. Supposedly, he showed up at her high school dressed as a woman, and she was “cured.”
