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.”

In-breeding is bad.

Something highly correlated with kids coming out “trans”? Tolerance for homosexuality. The vast majority of trans kids come from families that support homosexual lifestyles.

“Susceptible to suggestion” is right, but I suspect it’s more that the traditional standards and guardrails are down than that an actual mental illness is involved, all the usual comments notwithstanding.

Sounds more plausible than the story they’re telling.

Mental illness seems to run in that family. Or is it the woman that is driving them crazy???

Careful. It's not the weekend yet. The 'bash American women' comments are for Friday and Saturday nights here on FR.

Either way, they are failures as women and look like men.

Yes, Caitlyn Jenner is definitely prettier. Amazing what a lot of money will do for a girl's looks.

Only 5-10% of transgender “women” get bottom surgery, 1% of transgender “men.”

I’ve heard lesbians who announce they won’t date a ‘chick with a d*ck” are torn apart by the “tolerant” left.

Excuse me, lady Jane, but I was referring to a WOMAN.

Not women.

If you have a “partner” that should be your first inkling that something in your life is messed up.

The partner, the mentally ill one, apparently influenced the child and caused the disconnect.

How many suicides will this collection of freaks see in the next few years?

Too few. (Must now repent and ask forgiveness for the evil thought.)

Well, this guy I know is one of them. Now he’s a guy with mutilated genitals wearing dresses.

Oy vey - just the thought of having to repent all my lashon hara. Lashon hara is Hebrew for derogatory speech.

You’re welcome. Always willing to help forks with the acronyms that adequately describe the result of government operations.
