As strongly as you feel this protective nature towards trans people, consider that many feel even more so for our children - our kids that should not be exposed to inappropriate sexuality at a young age.

Protect our children.

Please explain how trans people have harmed your children in any way. Be as specific as possible.

No thanks. I’d be happy to engage with a real-life person on the topic, but I’m not planning to spin my wheels here with you.

I assure you I am a real-life person, and you have my word that I will treat you with the same level of respect that you give me.

Please explain how trans people have harmed your children in any way. Be as specific as possible.

Listen NO ONE, NO ONE would have cared if you just kept this all in your private life, going on about your life like a normal person. But that isn’t the case, it’s being pushed and taught that if you ever question your gender, maybe you are trans, and that it’s completely healthy and normal, and that your parents are monsters and abusers if they do not affirm. When brought to a “specialist”, parents are told either they will have a trans kid or a dead kid, leading the kid often to be put on life changing medication which they often regret as well as cause depression

Kids are not put on “life-changing medicine” simply because they questioned their gender. Doctors will not medically intervene on trans children unless they remain consistent, persistent and insistent over a considerable length of time that they do not identify with the gender they were assigned at birth.

But that’s beside the point.

The question posed was how trans people have harmed that person’s children in any way. So since you chose to answer on their behalf, I’ll redirect it to you: how have trans people harmed your children, specifically?

Why does it have to be mine, specifically? Has the holocaust affected your children, specifically?

u/TheIllustriousWe Aug 02 '23

I don't have any children. But I do have trans friends who have suffered at the hands of people who will not accept them for who they truly are.

But like I said: the question was posed to someone else, and you chose to answer on their behalf. I'm trying to understand why you guys think your children are being harmed by trans people.

Again, why does it have to be our children specifically? Can’t it be someone elses? Plenty of stories out there if you look for them

OP said "protect our children," which seemed to imply they believe their own children are in danger. I'm merely taking them at their word.

As for you, it sounds like you're worried on behalf of children you have no personal relationship to or interaction with, and whom you're only aware of at all thanks to news sources of questionable repute. While that may or not may be the case, it sounds like your own children are fine and not in any danger from trans people.

Which is a great reason to just leave trans people alone.

Are you not worried on behalf of children of mass shootings? If someone's kid is homeschooled, the kid is not at risk of a school shooting, yet the parent can still worry for school shootings and have an opinion on them. Not caring about someone's situation just because it doesn't personally affect YOU is honestly kind of selfish. A quick search will tell you that huge disproportionate amounts of convicted trans people are for sex offenses, as well as lots of stories about a C - Tier male athletes becoming the no. 1 in the sport after transitioning. Sure, if you transition and go through the procedures and live a private normal life, I may not approve of it but it is your life, and you're not really hurting anyone. However if you go around and 1. push this agenda that it's normal and sane, and 2. abuse it, for example dominating womens sports, or molesting people, then there is a problem.

And now we’ve come to the part of the program where people pretend to care about women’s sports in order to clutch their pearls over trans women being allowed to compete.

You can always tell who these people are, because they literally never talk about women’s sports outside of this extremely narrow context.

u/Dewy_11 Aug 02 '23

Yet it still remains completely relevant. Are you admitting you don't care for womens sports? Obviously I'd much rather watch NBA over WNBA, but does that mean the womens sports doesn't matter? Of course it does, which is why it shouldn’t be infested with men claiming they are women, yet with advantages in every aspect relevant to the sport.
