Well, I'll be honest, I think transgender is pretty weird. But then I also do stuff that's pretty weird and I don't like other people giving me a hard time because of it. So the way I see it is that if I had a kid who came out as trans, I wouldn't think anything negative of it. I don't know much about trans stuff so I probably wouldn't be the best source of support, but I would certainly accept them and I wouldn't see them as any different.
@thewindupbirdchronicles I don't see a problem with whatever a person's sexuality or gender identity happens to be. If it weren't for the fact that anyone who isn't completely heterosexual, or doesn't fit the gender definition assigned to his or her sex, often come under attack from (in the western world) christian groups, they wouldn't need support.
