Mtf or ftm? Talking about PRE-pubescent kids or just PRE-pubescents, so 0 - 13

Very clear, NOT pubescent teenagers or just pubescents, so 14 - 19

Or (INCREASINGLY) POST-pubescent young adults or just POST-pubescents, so 20 - 26

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.

[@6579,BlueMetalChick] That's an unexpected statement from you, ngl.

[@428650,DangerDingus] Yeah, well, expect it. Losing my child is possibly my biggest regret in life.

I'd be supportive. The only problem is religious nutjobs who hate anything that doesn't fit their religious beliefs.

[@379861,Sharon] This isn't a reverse engineering type of thing in criticism?

[@1175131,pleasingyouorme] 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.

[@379861,Sharon] True enough.
