A big part of society are transphobic but they think they aren't as long as they don't physically attack trans people

I've noticed that a large amount of people are pushing transphobic views but they claim it's not transphobic and that it is to help.

The true intention is probably to help, but fact is its transphobia to be against trans rights. Such rights as if your teenage child say they are trans, you dismissing it as a phase or immaturity, is transphobic. Whether you like it or not. It's classified as transphobic.

Think about it. Why would anyone feel good about their family or friends or strangers online minimizing their identity and their decision in who they are? They are the ones to decide about their body and who they are. Not you, not me, not their classmates, partner, siblings, parents, teachers, therapists. No one else but themselves decide over their body.

To respect that also automatically teaches kids that no one can claim their bodies or want something with their bodies. So if you wanna prevent grooming and predators, respect your kids identity, take them seriously, respect your kids. They're humans too.

Do you actually know anything about raising children? 🤔 also you do realize that it depends on the child, their age, and whether they really are sincere in their wish to identify as the opposite gender?Children are highly underdeveloped and it is a fact that we don't stop maturing until mid to late twenties, which means people my age even have some years to go until their brains are no longer developing. If our brains do not stop developing until mid to late twenties, how is it appropriate to allow children younger than the age of 18 to decide to change their gender, even going to extreme physical lengths to do so? If you're interested to know, an extreme physical length would be having hormone therapy (very dangerous when you are a youth) and surgery, which is potentially very dangerous to anyone. Many transgendered individuals regret their surgery because they find it has taken the "joy" out of identifying as the opposite gender and introduced them to the realities of physically adopting a new one. A few or some women would say that it's not easy being a woman, but many biological men would say that it's physically and mentally painful to become and live as one. People are so blind to the medical realities of transitioning...it's disturbing and ignorant.

Any good parent will know that they should always empathize with their children. However, one of the most important components to parenting is responsibility. You have to be responsible, sensible, and provide your child with appropriate guidance...submitting to their every whim and not questioning them when necessary is absolutely NOT that. This is how we create spoiled and overindulged children who lack responsibility in life, and who will never come to properly understand discipline and boundaries.

To summarize, if adults wish to transition, that is their decision. Children can't transition and that is something those on the progressive left will have to come to accept. Similarly, you shouldn't be encouraging children to toy with ideas around gender identity and changing one's gender.
