Liberal parent: Yes, of course. I understand there are many from which to select. Which have you selected?
Good question. It’s shocking that we , as a society, apparently have embraced all this transsexual business, even with children.
“Does the parent still play the most important role in their child’s life or does society?”
That’s up to the parent now, aint it.
God gives children to their parent, not the state.
I get in a lot of trouble on this site for my very steadfast view on parenting. When people complain (even here) about bad choices made by parents, my response is typically this: It’s none of my business. It’s not my kid.
The problem is that I get in trouble with both liberals and some some conservatives here. Thing is, Changing a kid’s sex before he’s reached puberty is so stupid, that it’s even stupider than changing his sex AFTER puberty. But it’s none of my business. Not my kid.
It’s the father’s business.
Yes. In a case like this one I firmly agree that the father has a say.
I’m speaking holistically.
If the state is going to determine how a child is raised, then the parent(s) are no longer responsible. The state has already determined that they will determine what child will live or die.
The state can feed, clothe and educate/medicate the child. No child care, no alimony, nothing by the father. The mother can go live in a government enclave.
Harsh? Sure, but it’s not my kid.
Remember a few years back... “It Takes A Village to Raise a Child” That’s all you need to know about the left. From womb to tomb, they want complete and total control. As soon as you inquire about conversion therapy or the like you will be investigated and potentially have your child(ren) taken away for neglect. Slick Willy even stated that as POTUS he was the parent of the nations children.
There is no “we”
about it this is just mentally defective morons being given attention
At one time it was but I'm not so sure today.
