What are you confused about? A transgender kid is transgender, you can't "not let them be" what they already are. Not that hard to understand.
never said anything about not letting them be. was only initially confused because people are born either short or tall genetically - transitioning is an active change (mind you, nothing wrong at all with that choice)
I’m just saying, if a kid is born under 2 ft tall, I don’t get how he can just grow up and identify as over 6 ft. it’s not natural
It doesn't matter if you "get it", nobody should have to explain/validate their own existence. Just because someone isn't a 1:1 concentration of societal norms doesn't mean they shouldn't have rights.

And who is talking about transition, the poster I replied to said "Shouldn’t let kids be transgender".

I see, my mistake

Gotchu
Everyone ought to learn more about the world and the people in it instead of being willfully ignorant
Mods need to permaban kids with transphobic/racist/sexist/homophobic/ableist/discriminatory comments. A rational debate is ok i guess but seriously c***s the first page is ridiculous
It really is something else. Just found this racist SocDem s***poster whos only kinda known in terminally online leftist circles turns out to be the failson of a guy who makes weapons for the the Pentagon and the grandson of the guy who literally built the original CIA spy planes that started the Cuban Missile Crisis. I can explain that to NOBODY I know IRL

My brother recommended this to me literally a week ago @op
I still need to watch! But if you liked this one you should def check out HBO’s doc called Transhood. It revolves around transgender kids as well & is super informative & eye opening
I'll download it when I get the chance.. Thanks
Bored again at work, watched a documentary on transgendered kids growing up. I highly recommend:
https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/film/growing-up-trans/
The kids in these movies are so well spoken, confident, and keen. But not because they wanted to be, per se. They had to grow up fast, and you can see it in their interactions with their friends. Much more mature and cognizant of their words and I think the internet saved their lives. An unbiased, uncompromising, open and free platform to express onesself, especially when your home life is s***.
One spotlight I had is on a kid named John. FtM transitioned, trying his best to live a life. However, his dad is imo a huge b****, going on about how he doesn’t know how to reconcile his decision because “i dont think its right” or “i think its a path to hell” and “not gods plan”.
Bro im like is this dude serious? Beyond just a tough and confusing situation to get through, this dude is so selfish and has a thinly veiled kind of disgust, so much so that he openly talks about divorce in front of his 13-14 year old kid
I understand what its like to grow up fast and assume adult roles, but i appreciate the movie for giving me a more in depth understanding and i recommend it
thanks for sharing
Shouldn’t let kids be transgender
How can you not let someone be transgender? Being/identifying as transgender is way more than s***reassignment surgeries, HRT, wearing different clothes, etc.
You can fully pass as the biological gender you were born as and still identify as transgender, it's not really something you can or cannot let someone do
I have no problem with people being transgender I think it's great. But honestly I think you should be at least 18 in order to go through with it
