The problem is telling a teenager they're an idiot and ruining their life has never worked.
The left has convinced these kids that they are somehow more valuable or brave if they identify this way vs just being a normal heterosexual kid. It's grooming on a massive scale.
Imagine getting to a point where your entire identity and self worth is attached to something you know is not true (and you know that everyone else knows as well). No wonder they struggle so much with their mental health and scream so loudly if you remind them it's not true.

My kids are both over 18. I didn’t allow anything of the sort when they were minors, but once they are legal adults, they don’t need your permission and it’s easy and fairly inexpensive.
As for the people saying i must have fricked up somewhere in raising them, you don’t know me and don’t know anything about our lives except what i type. My kid is not confused. They have wanted to be a different gender since birth despite being made to conform as a child (within reason but still allowed self-expression), being put in all the gender-appropriate activities, never abused or molested, and put in therapy pretty much continuously since the gender and sexuality stuff came out.
You don’t know how you will react until you live it. For me, the issue is gender issues. For you, maybe it’s going to be alcohol or drugs, depression, poor grades, getting knocked up/knocking someone up, dating or marrying someone you don’t like, divorce or unemployment…etc. I don’t have these problems. But even if you follow the formula and “do everything right”, there will be problems. You don’t know how you will react until they happen and when they do, you will be less judgmental.
ETA when i say “they”, i mean one of my kids, not both. The other is as normal as they come and successful.

Where are these front lines?
I’d love to see china and Russia start loading vessels now to sail here and fight us.
Come on guys. We only fight them if we want to fight them and we fight them how we want to fight them.
These people who are scared of china and Russia make me laugh. Those countries suck arse.

they are targeting the youth through social media. The garbage these kids consume on there has totally screwed a large portion of the next generation. Tik Tok and crap like that need to be banned!
This is my stance but I dont see any of those apps getting banned so I believe parents should do a better job of not allowing their children on them. This is so much absolute garbage on them. Earlier days of MySpace, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat etc.. really weren’t that bad. It used to be the worst a parent had to worry about was some stranger messaging them. It’s gross some of the content kids are seeing daily now

My only guess is something traumatic happened to them and this was their failed attempt to feel safe again
In addition to sexual trauma, you see a lot of F2M transitions because girls are seeing hardcore pornography at a prepubescent age. It scares the hell out of them and they believe the only way to avoid that happening to them is by not being a female.
It’s usually amplified by other mental issues.

If i made any mistake, it was not supervising social media use. My kid has been known to be gay since middle school and even then it was no surprise. They hated dresses, hated dance class, and if were given “girl toys”, even as young as 3, they put them in a closet and asked me to “give them to the poor kids.” You believe what you want but they were born wanting to be a boy. My issue is, you can’t physically be a sex you aren’t. Not really. If you could magically change your DNA, that would be one thing, but you will always be fighting your DNA if you are trans. I thought they had come to accept the way they were born and then the COVID stuff happened. I was “essential” so was working a lot. They were home doing “home school.” Probably on social media a lot, unsupervised. If i could go back in time and change anything, it would be that year where healthcare workers were working our asses off and high school students were educating themselves. I would have quit my job and gone on COVID welfare if i had known and could change things. Don’t get me wrong, i love my kid and i am proud of them for so many things. They are successful in school and a leader in their extracurriculars, and they are popular at school if you can believe it. But this is a hard road and i never thought i would be dealing with it. I’m a regular person, not some kind of political or social activist. We all just want what’s best for our kids.

I stand by my previous opinions but apologize to you for being so coarse about it.
Social media is a motherfricker. Kids shouldn’t have it. Snapchat and tik tok is and always will be banned at my house

I have a good friend whose son is trans. They are a midwestern living in Texas, conservative couple. Their son began dressing as a female in the 7th grade and joined the cheerleading squad in 8th. They weren’t bullied at school but there was some mostly harmless talked behind her back. My son is in the same grade and knew her since kindergarten so did his best to not do anything to hurt her feelings but he doesn’t get it at all.
She attempted suicide twice during Covid and they sent her to a boarding school with mental health treatment. She’s really thrived since then. I can’t imagine the struggle they have bc I know they love her but this is so outside their comfort zone. I know they started puberty blockers a couple years ago but I don’t know much more than that. I now only ask how she’s doing and how they are.

I don’t think it’s fair to blame the parents IF this “change” started once she was in college. We don’t know what they tried to get their daughter’s mind right. They may have tried everything and just lost the battle :(

One of the hardest things to do is watch your child deal with the consequences of his/her actions.

You may have hit on something here.

This is the first one that has had to deal with their kids being told by people they should be able to trust that they should get a sex change.
This.
There’s media, “social media influencers”, celebrities, and even members of Congress and State Legislatures telling children, not legal 18 year olds, but children that if your parents don’t want to you have a sex change immediately upon you declaring yourself trans, then frick them! Some support having CPS take the kid away.
And some horrible doctors are willing to likely accept some CPS consent form over a parents’ to perform a sex change on a minor or give them drugs.

I am not in your shoes so I can not relate and I can't tell you what I would do because I'm not in that situation. I wish the best for all of you but please keep in touch with your child. This sounds like a long road.
