re: How would you handle it if your son or daughter told you they are transgender?

It's the one thing I don't understand. I consider myself pretty open and tolerant of others. I'd be accepting and loving if they told me that they were gay/lesbian.

The actual physical act though with transgenders (taking hormones, surgical operations) is wrong, immoral and I even believe unethical.

I really, really do not understand it and refuse to give in. If you're born a certain gender, you are that gender. You can't change it. I refuse to give in.

What's next? Sally decides she doesn't want to be a human anymore and decides she's a little kitten? Or Todd decides he isn't fit to be a male and wants to be female Koala bear?

I draw the line with the transgender.
