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.
@BlueMetalChick Thought out, I'm pretty open as an individual, equally sensitive (has hosts of issues that way). My friend went on how he is open to almost everything, but things he doesn't understand and I simply said to him, well you have the respect in you to know when to give that expression, what you don't understand, you simply don't - those wants, if you don't have them, will always be of distance to you.
