He has a mental disorder. He should not be mocked but helped. Psychological therapy should be seeked immediately.
That may be true but good luck putting somebody in therapy for being transgender in 2017. Even suggesting it out loud to them will likely not turn out well for you. Sorry, but society is on their side of this.

With that said, it's a human being and you should still respect them no matter their decision on doing this.
Why?
You respect every thing anyone does because they're human?
If your neighbor decided he was now Schrempert the Wizard of Rolki Land and demanded that all of his friends and family call him Schrempert the Magnificent and his parents started telling you about how proud they were of Schrempert slaying dragons and the courage he shows when he passes the fabled swadtikom sword down to the new king of Rolki land, your response would be, wow I respect that. And so should everyone else.
You wouldn't think he was a mental patient and his family was nuts? You'd just start calling him Schrempert the Magnificent and respecting him because he's human?

why is being homeschooled a big factor?
Just based on my personal experience, home schooled kids can tend to be "a little off". We have several couples we know that "home school" and if the stay at home parent is "off" their kids are even more so. My personal belief is that you have to function within society. Thus the best way to learn to operate within society is to be schooled in it. Sort of the "throw them in the deep end" but be there to teach them the different strokes mentality.

Is he keeping the twig and berries?

This sounds like it is going to be bottomless pit of drama. If you stay friends you might get drawn into it..safest way is to keep plenty of distance.

COworker informed me her 18 year old daughter was transgender. Sometimes male, sometimes female. Fat, blue hair college student.
Typical attention whore.

If as a society, we decide that a man with a penis who wants to be called a woman, must be considered and addressed as a woman, we are doomed.

Breesus don't let these tranny lovers get to you bro

Tell them they have lost their fricking minds and never speak to them again. Don't normalize this insanity. Love is not the answer here.

Rofl... Way to completely let that go over your head there, bud. At the end of the day, I don't care what this kid does, hell I don't care about him. I just don't wanna throw the kid in some mental camp or grab a torch and pitch fork like some of you do. I respect everyone unless given a reason not to. Like I said, I don't understand his decision, I'd never do it but I don't care. If some dude wants to call himself a Shrempert or whatever the frick, go ahead. I don't care.

I actually think that's a perfect analogy for transgenderism

I will strike a deal with this creature. If he can do that, I will call him Shrempert the magnificent.

Why do kids even need parents if they are only there to rubberstamp each whim the child or in this case, teen, envisions?
