How My Life Unfolded When My Partner And Kid Both Came Out As Trans
CBC News ^ | 11/8/2019 | AMANDA JETTE KNOX

In many ways, communities have never felt lonelier.

While many of us recognize this, we’re so busy juggling jobs, kids and life, that we often don’t know our neighbours beyond a simple wave from the front door.

We might chat with them on social media groups or see them at a store or two, but what they’re dealing with behind closed doors remains a mystery.

Six years ago, when we pulled up into our home’s driveway for the first time and started unloading boxes from the car, our new neighbours had no idea just how much our family would change over the next little while.

But then again, neither did I.

Their reaction to it all, however, should be an example to everyone on how to be a real community.

The First Transition Not long ago, we introduced ourselves to everyone we met as a mom, dad and three boys. Moving into an area full of other young families meant blending in seamlessly, and I liked it. We were like them. They were like us.

As someone who used to stick out in her younger life and was often a target for it, fitting in meant safety.

But my at-ease feelings quickly evaporated a few months after we bought our home.

One night, our then-11-year-old sent us an email. In it, she explained she was transgender, and that she could no longer go on living as the boy we thought she was.

“Please don’t be mad,” she said. “Please help me.”

uh-huh - This is the same family that will cancel culture you, ostracize you and see you crucified if you don’t think like they do.

“Love”, my butt...

Mental illness seems to run in that family.

Or is it the woman that is driving them crazy???

20 years ago the 11 year old boy would have been recognized as going through a phase and would have been allowed to grow out of it. Now he will be put on puberty blocking hormones and later castrated.

Refuse to click the story, but my first red flag is an 11 year old making some life altering decision. Um, no, there is a lot more going on. Just how long has this 11 year old been pondering this? And, is there a reason kids as little as ten years ago would have no conceivable idea about transgenderism, let alone anyone thinking this was any but a psychological medical emergency.

FTA: Throughout this process, I had also written a memoir about our family’s journey through our varied transitions. It debuted on the bestseller list and ended up staying there for several weeks.

Taking "look at me, look at me" to the highest level.

“The following year, my spouse of 18 years, the person I knew as my husband, told me that she was also a woman.”

Anybody miss the fact that the real wife is now a lesbian?

A few days ago we were having dinner in the Berlin TV Tower revolving restaurant. Across the street a trans person set himself on fire in protest and died at the hospital. Was glad we missed that.

I know a young kid who was fairly odd but a nice guy. A few years ago, he announced he was a woman. Whatever. Wear a dress.

A couple weeks ago, I saw him post a picture of himself in a hospital gown on social media. “Finally getting my bottom surgery tomorrow!” He got hundreds of likes and congratulations and support. I just thought - he’s going to have his genitals carved up tomorrow, on purpose and liberals are celebrating and congratulating him.

A mutilated mess of a carved up sex organ does not change your gender and, of course, it won’t remove your depression.

Article written by canadian broadcasting company. Very biased. Obviously written to convince those evil people that trans is wonderful and that we should all admire those people who can’t see reality.

A sure sign of insanity: “My husband .....she was a woman.”
Having a party, hanging a flag, talking about “pride” do not change anything. It’s still a mental disorder.

The kid could maybe be salvaged before cutting off his man parts.

I am pretty sure the marriage would be over, if my husband decided he was a woman one day.

Maybe that’s just me.

We were like them. They were like us.

I have a feeling that is a load of bullshit.
