Life as parent to a trans child 🏳️‍⚧️ #shorts #sacconejolys #trans #lgbtq

[Shay_TheUnpopularOpinion_]

As someone with a psychology degree, my opinion is this child is going through the motions and is too young to understand the complexities of sex and gender. Let him be a child and guide him. Also I notice if certain parents are confused on how to handle that they need guidance as well. But a drastic change like gender transitioning for a baby is just wrong. Let him make those decisions when he’s older.

20 year olds can't drink alcohol, why can a 3 year old decide there gender....

THEY ARE BRAINWASHING THE CHILDREN HOW DARE YOU TO DO THAT

[leahc]

A CHILD DOSENT UNDERSTAND THE IMPACT AND THE FUTURE STRUGGLES AT THIS AGE. LET THEM BE A CHILD AND ENJOY WHAT THEY WANT, NO NEED TO MAKE PERMANENT DECISIONS.

I came out as trans at 13. I transitioned socially (cut all my hair, changed my pronouns etc) but I didn’t get anything medical until I was 18 and started testosterone. I love that you want to help your child, but please don’t post it all over the internet. This is a difficult time for Edie, and if she does grow up and realise she actually is a boy, she’s going to have all this behind her, and it’s going to be difficult to make a new life. Sometimes as a parent (yes I do have a child) you just need to step back and let them discover this by themselves. I feel like she’s just told you she wants to dress like a girl, and you’ve labelled it as trans. There is so so so much more to it then wanting to dress up as a different gender.

When I was little I was a massive tomboy, at age 7 I got my hair cut to short back and sides, I wore boys clothes, and I actively sought out ‘boy’ hobbies etc (joined the cricket team etc) I thought being a girl sucked, I didn’t like that I was a girl because it felt limiting, inferior and boy stuff was way more fun. I only began to explore ‘feminine’ things in my later teens.
Fortunately I wasn’t exposed to the internet growing up, but, looking back I can imagine that if I was, it would have been so easy to convince me that I was transgender because I liked ‘boy’ things and dressed like a boy. Children cannot understand gender identity, they are so so gullible and easily persuaded. It doesn’t take much to make an idea into an obsession for a child who just isn’t capable of understanding complex and abstract ideas.
let your kids explore life in an ungendered manner (cars don’t have to be labelled girl or boy toys), but I think it’s going to lead to so much internal conflict later down the line if you actively encourage a child to adopt a particular sexuality identity

DID HE REALLY NEED TO RECORD HER SAYING SHE WANTED TO BE A GIRL?!

here's the conversation.
Dad: What's wrong? - hold up let me get the camera.

Edie:Why do we need to record this EVERY TIME?

Dad: just act like your sad bc u want to be a girl.

Edie: I just want to talk about this without the camera.

Dad: No I want to do this on camera so people can feel bad for you.

Edie: Why?! I just want to talk about this privately! Not publicly!

Dad: Edie just do it please.

Edie: Fine! Leave me alone after this!


What the hell is wrong with people there's days?

“edie doesnt want to be trans, she just wants to be a girl”❤️❤️❤️

At this age I would hold a funeral for my iPad when it died

No make up for small children -- trans or not. It is not face paint.

[KrewLover-]

You are such a bad father he was only a child you should've waited until he Became bigger then you would've Told him if he wanted to be trans But he was only a child you cannot Change his whole gender Only god can So please Belive in god and stop this stuff 😢

[ootzzed]

Dude just because ur child is experiencing all these new emotions as he gets older doesn’t mean they want to be someone else. Just let them be. Give them to time to grow. They don’t understand this type of thing and they shouldn’t either at this age.

[mr.misser]

This dads therapist needs a therapist and his therapists would need a therapist

[lumpzzfn]

This Dad should be put into jail. He’s destroying his child.

[struumbug]

I’m so sorry for all these transphobic comments. Love these shorts! ❤

[davidgraham]

This is genuinely disturbing. This child is clearly seeking attention and you are playing along with it.

My daughter wanted to be a boy. She felt this way for many years, and throughout school dresses as a boy, and used a toilet at the office that was otherwise rarely used and it was unisex (it was the toilet at the nurses station/sick bay). When she got to the age of 16, she started to change her mind. Her best friend who she still loves dearly was trans, and he went through with top surgery. We were/are all really supportive, but noticed that my daughter stated to become more and more feminine. We made no big deal of any decisions she made, but wouldn’t allow puberty blockers or surgery…that was a decision she had to make as an adult.

She is now an adult, in her early 20’s, ver feminine and loves wearing dresses and make up. She is living with her partner and both she and he are saving for their own home, and hope to have children one day. Had I intervened medically, that choice would have been taken away from her. I would never have forgiven myself. Yes trans people can adopt if they are unable to have their own children due to early medical intervention, and adoption is wonderful…but she wants to experience pregnancy. And before anyone says it, yes I’m aware that plenty of biological women can’t get pregnant, but she wants to try, and if I had have taken away that choice, rather than it being a medical problem I had nothing to do with, she’d never have forgiven me.

It’s okay to support, but please PLEASE don’t make any life altering decisions until they’re an adult. They say without medical intervention the suicide rate increases….so we had a psychologist help they didn’t tell her what to do with her body, they just listened and gave her calming strategies if she was struggling with life. Puberty blockers aren’t always the answer, and there are a lot of people who took them, who now wish they hadn’t….but it’s too late. Let you child be whoever, but let them make the big decisions as an adult…and lastly KEEP IT PRIVATE. I know that might sound hypocritical coming from someone who just told their daughters story online, but I’m anonymous…I won’t use my daughter for views, it’s unfair and unethical.

Still, if he likes pink and makeup, it really doesn't mean that he is Trans, and, he is still young, they should've let him experience how it is to be a boy.

Guys stop saying he is a bad parent, because it is none of your business.
