Grieving the Relationship You Feel You Missed Out On With Your Transgender Child
Stop telling kids they're "trans" it's bullshit nonsense. Their rights are the same as anyone else's giving yourself a made up identity makes no difference. No one cares that you think you're special - you're not you just need to stay off the Internet and get a life.
Thank you president Trump 👏
i only know transpeople to be messed up...many transition back.stop promoting this crap and raise kids to how they should be ..male or female. Trump is awesome!
While your offering advice/resources to figure out how to move forward and fund things. Remember that there is studies etc. (avoided to be talked about) that shows if you get kids into LONG TERM psychiatric treatment to learn coping skills to deal with gender dysphoria etc. in the world they must live...... the self death and harm rates drop significantly... Also resources to dive down deeper the whole gammet of issues a child is having so resources/counselling etc. are applied most appropriately. On Gender Confusion side it is NOT only surgery that is a solution nor is it demanding the world change to ease their troubles the only solution. Just consider and offer funding in all the options. Kid's are our world to be. thank you Beth for caring about kids!!!! Truly mean that. PS- 50yrs of working with kids all ages and abilities. Academic background in Education for those whom have conflicts with educational setting (aka- various dysphoria, autism, abuse, schizophrenia. Also Teaching methodology and practice of academics of those with atypical learning abilities as well as Adapted Phys Ed.. and more.
tRump is EGREGIOUS AND heinous. I have a successful Transgender Adult child. They and their partner made me a Grandfather 2 years ago. I retired here in Thailand. But I worry about my Transgender adult Child... America is becoming more and more Transphobic and it brothers me. KEEP UP THE VALUABLE WORK! THEY JUST RENEWED THEIR PASSPORT WITH YHE X Marker...which thanks to tRump is no longer available.
It is a deep greef I done know how to deal with my daughter's Decision of being identify as male
Blah. This is cringe.
Hey everyone Jesus loves you He died for us saved us. Turn to him before he returns
I don't believe in children.
How about learn how to be a parent
Comes out of what?
no such thing as transgender child
womp womp
I love that kind of satire it seems so real well done <3
Thanks. I won't be doing any of this.
no. no new pronouns. Looking at this Womans room, why is she targeting innocent children? common sense will tell you, call your child by his or her biological sex, teach them that they are a boy or girl based on that. It is really that simple. They can choose to live as the opposite gender later in life, but they need the base knowledge of what sex is and what it means in order to make the educated choice to go against it. Stop confusing kids.
How about YOU adapt to the real world ? The nerve of YOU to require me ( and the rest of the world ) to change ...
This stuff is for the most part nonsense. Now Im a pretty inclusive dude, I was raised in an ELCA church that went RIC but this gender stuff is counter hegemonic nonsense.
Insane is the pronoun they should go by
It is clear from the way you talk about language and language use that you have no professional training in the fields of linguistics or even psychology. So what makes you an authority on these issues? That is, why should anyone listen to say?
I've heard once one of these self-appointed mass-educators saying that some people don't have pronouns and should always be referred to by their names. For example: "Mary gave Mary's mother a picture of Mary""=). Then I understood this is all just too idiotic to even listen to. (BTW, if these pronoun-educators want to get some education I recommend reading about government and binding theory).
All these new pronouns that trans people are proposing demonstrate a lack of understanding of how grammar and pronouns work. Firstly, let's establish that first and second person pronouns are genderless. They're also the pronouns that are fundamentally used in two party communication, and the pronouns that the speaker and the listener own. Also, I fully yield that a person owns his own name. If Mark wants to change his name to Marcia, that's his choice. He owns his name and his personhood. Third person pronouns are the battleground here. And when a person is the target of the third person pronoun, he has no say over the choice of pronoun. Take a 3-party conversation between people named A, B, and C. A says to B: "Give the bag to her." A is telling B to give the bag to the new party, C. A doesn't need to know the soulful navelgazing about identity that C is partaking in. B doesn't need to know about C's hormone therapy. What happened here is A make a quick approximation of what pronoun best describes C for B's understanding. If Marcia looks like a guy, he's getting a masculine pronoun. A owns his language. C has no claim on how best to describe C to B. The battle is over the notion that someone controls how others describe him. And no one does.
what doesn't take a lot of practice, takes no time to adjust, and has been working fine in the English language for many many years is to just use the standard language that everyone learned. If it takes one to do mental gymnastics and mind acrobatics to simply refer to someone else in 3rd person, that means there's something wrong with that approach. The only language that belongs to a person is their own personal name. Everything else - nouns, adjectives, pronouns, verbs, adverbs etc. do not belong to a particular person but are rather a shared common language that must be easily understood by everyone else in order to communicate effectively and not create unnecessary confusion. If you bow and comply to one person's desires and wants at the expense of everyone else - that's wrong, misguided, and unethical IMO.
Mx Morphling, a UK UA-camr, has just gone on a self-proclaimed rant about this...calling people who don`t use they/them pronouns for her lazy, stupid, or evil. So called `trans` people need to start reining it in. It`s totally impossible to change an entire species approach to language use on the whim of a tiny deeply problematic minority. And nobody`s mentioned this `International Pronouns Day`. It isn`t a thing, because preferred pronoun use isn`t nor ever will be a thing.
What a load of shit.
Teachers need to stop teaching these lies to our kids.
Puberty blockers are dangerous, don't allow children to have them !! it will make their bones weaker and decrease bone density. They have been banned in the UK because they are dangerous. It seems to be a trend on the internet and a lot of children transitioning are regretting this decision. Keep the children safe.
You have NO idea what authentique self means.....
Becoming one's whole and authentic self should never require drastic changes, surgery, nor medical sterility. If it does, then there is a deeper problem that needs to be addressed. My heart breaks for all the young people whose lives are being destroyed by this. They will grow up and then expect many lawsuits. Tragic.
a transgender child. my gosh that poor child. No child should be deemed transgender. Their a kid let them be a kid. end of story you ma'am are part of the problem
There is no such thing as a trans child unless you tell them or encourage them to believe it.
We called it being a "Tom Boy"....it's not that complicated.
Jeeesus, this wonam is crazy. Let the kids be. Noone should touch them and give them weird ideas. Children cannot decide to take hormons, they are kids! OMG... let alone to let themswlves be butchered!!!
We say kids cant understand the consequences of smoking, sex, tattoos...give them curfews, drinking etc etc etc...but one day they say they feel like a boy or girl and we allow them to mutilate themselves...you cant make that make sense. I think the whole push to make transgender "kids" acceptable is to one day allow pedophilia. Today its transgender kids, tomorrow they can consent to sex. Its a sick ideology. Many of them regret it when they get older, leave the lifelong decisions to adulthood.
'Becoming their whole authentic selves'... If only you people would base your lives on reality rather than the shit you hear repeated on the internet daily. Being 'transgender' is the opposite of being authentic.
It’s a good thing all the “ pe do s “ reveal themselves online. How perverted to be so obsessed with a child’s “preferences” . demonic !!!
Its individuals like you whom are screwing up our future generations, psychologically & physically. Sick.
This is getting to the point where there needs to be a decision made on this... having gender specialists go around diagnosing children with gender dysphoria is one of the most laughable things ive ever heard, I would love to know the rate at which they turn children down compared to how many children they "affirm". Every time you hear a child that grows up and comes out and said they de-transitioned its almost the same identical story. "I wish someone would have challenged me more, I wish that someone would have pushed back a little harder... Instead the just affirmed my belief and sent me down a path that ended up destroying my life permanently". Now if you as a parent dont affirm your childs beliefs because they saw some gender theory online or their teacher introduced it to them you are seen as "abusive". These people are doing so much damage to society and not a single one of them cares because it seems intentional at this point.
Worst advice ever!!!!!
All of this stuff is just nonsense and out of control. I just don't get it… Children who want to be transgender when they're not, parents who want to have transgender children like it's a bragging right nowadays… Ridiculous and dangerous!!! Please seek help!!!
Dear God, please help us. Help these precious children love themselves as they were born ❤ if children didn’t know what transgender was they would not be feeling this way.. maybe 0.0005% of people would .. but not 15% of kids in middle school saying they don’t know their gender. Leave the kids alone. They can learn about this as they are adults as we all did
I grew up black and poor. Boundaries please We are good 😂😂😂😂every night! Please
This is ridiculous! And stupid. Listen to what you are saying.
The problem is also that young children are impressionable and easily manipulated. Girls being lesbians was a phase when I was in high school and now most of them are in heterosexual relationships. One of my son’s very good friends was a lesbian all through high school and just recently came out and decided she liked boys. It’s a very slippery slope, which is why I disagree that any medical procedures should be done until adulthood.
Absolutely. This happened to me as well
Seek help, like a therapist. maybe kids wouldnt be "so confused" then
What?!?! I have a transgender child and this is THE WORST advice. Your child who comes out as transgender MUST be able to articulate enough to explain. If they don’t or can’t, common sense tells me that they are CONFUSED. If you can’t parent your child by challenging them, you’re raising weak children.
thank you 💛
You're welcome.
This is Bull. Never. They are children. You are sick. Stop brainwashing children.
A child? Transgender? Let them be children
My children are almost 30. You realize child doesn't just mean "young children", right?
She means child or she would of said adult child
@@KatShulls-ez2oh no I didn't, because it's awkward every time to say, "older teen, young adult, or adult child" when every child of a parent, no matter their age is their child. So please don't make assumptions about what I mean.
@@justplainbeth yeah well people are sick of this trans shit when it is being pushed so much so parents are getting their children taken for not hurting their children with hormones. You definitely should be more specific because people aren't playing the trans children narrative anymore. This transgender phenomenon is gotten to be a sick science experiment with humanity.
@@justplainbethIt's not awkward to say teen young adult or adult child.
key word is CHILD!! What a disgusting post.
Half these comments are mocking this lady but she’s just sharing what she had to go through with her child. A child she loves. Sure you don’t have to agree with what her approach was but it’s easier to judge when you’re not in her shoes.
