What Would You Do (This post was inspired by the SW Bot Post about Transgenders)

What would you do if your child, grandchild, sibling, or another family member told you they’re transgender?

Talk, talk and more talk...communication and having an open door is very important...this way, we can both better understand...

Actually know someone who's daughter went through it...tried to grow a moustache and everything...then I saw the prom picture, she looked like a Princess, I asked what happened? Her mom said, ah, she got over it...

I would say free support and ask if it’s really what they want deep down.

at least you wouldn't chase them away with shotgun and say never comeback here you freak.

Meaning you would never disown them

If I was so fortunate to have any child, I would would likely support them, as far as I can, as long as it was both consensual as well as legal somewhere, within a reasonable distance.

Anything other relationship just isn't possible for me to help. Yet that's a different problem.

Nothing wrong with it.

I would encourage them to be who ever they want to be.

It is very big in the San Francisco Bay Area where I am.

Very different in my area.

I'd make it clear that it's not a problem, although it might well be challenging for both themselves and some other people.

And I'd ask if they needed me to do anything to help.

Well, if they’re a minor my answer would be different. I wouldn’t allow any surgery until they were over 18. I’d likely suggest therapy so they can sort out being comfortable with who they are and what life will bring next.

If they’re above 18 or not one of my children (meaning a relative), I’d do nothing but listen and be sure to be sympathetic as I have no way of understanding what it’d be like.
