Transgender Navy SEAL 'Warrior Princess' Comes Out[W:181, 607]

My Mate, Jimmy shoes, got pretty heavy into drugs afterwards. Ended up oding a few years later. But there were plenty of family issues prior to that. He pretty much lived with my family from age 13, basically because his mom just didn't care about him. I imagine she just looked at it as one less thing she had to deal with while trying to make her way to the bar

Sorry to hear that. That's really sad.

It would be pretty devastating for a child for daddy to turn into a woman suddenly.

While it is not likely to be sudden, kids are much more able to cope than you think. I wasn't paying attention, but there was someone on NPR last week who has written a book on her dad who largely I'd this. She was not devastated. But, that is too small a sample. Do we have any studies showing child can't deal with thus?

Do we really need a study to tell us that this would be difficult to deal with? I know if my dad suddenly became a woman, I'd feel pretty messed up.

Difficult? I think devastated was the word. But, yes. Like everything, I suspect it is all in how it is done. Kids are very adaptable. If done with love, reason, honesty, and respect by all, it likely wouldn't be difficult at all, let alone devastating.

I would be devastated and feel betrayed. You are being completely dishonest by saying it wouldn't be difficult at all. That is just despicable.

Not exactly what I said. I said it would depend on how it was handled. Would you concede that everyone might not feel what you THINK you would feel?

I think that a child who wouldn't be upset by this to at least SOME degree, would be quite rare. Do you think they would be happy about it? That they would understand this at all? A lot of adults don't even really understand it, even the experts don't REALLY understand it.

I don't think it would be all that rare. Kids are very adaptable. Mostly all they need to understand us that their parent lives them. They seldom carry our preconceptions. So, they have no context that requires understanding anything. The younger it happens, the less there is for them. The later, the easier to reason with.

You are so full of it I can smell you from here. Quit with your ridiculousness because that's what everything you stated in this post is, pure unadulterated bull****. After lying and being dishonest like you are here, your words hold no weight with me.

Nothing dishonest about it. You're overreacting and addressing what I'm saying. Do you really think children are that fragile?

Yep. Not yet used to the iPad and autocorrect. Using this key pad contributes as well.

I honestly and truly believe that the younger a child is the more readily they will accept that. Once the "I'm entitled to be upset gene" kicks in, it's anybody's guess. But up until then? If it's presented correctly to them? I don't think most kids would have a problem. Really. My honest opinion.

I don't think it's crap. What I do think is crap is when otherwise sane and compassionate men make fun of homosexual men, ostracize them, and otherwise put on quite a show about another man's sexuality.

At least they rarely beat them to death anymore.

That has nothing to do with your link.

You must be joking. What do you think is going to happen to them at school? Do you not know how cruel children are to one another? Even if they are handling it personally quite well (which I really cannot imagine), they would STILL go through hell, and of no fault of their own.

A boy looks up to his father as a role model, as an example. It would CERTAINLY be devastating. If you can't admit that, then don't even quote me anymore. I have no interest in speaking with someone so dishonest.

It wouldn't bother you Maggie? Not in the least? Be HONEST now Maggie.
 
Re: Transgender Navy SEAL 'Warrior Princess' Comes Out[W:181]

Really so what if the child is upset. Children get upset about a lot of stuff. Moving for parents work being one.

Yeah, until they found out it is a lie. Then things get exciting, but not very entertaining.

When I was under 11 years old, it probably wouldn't have bothered me at all. (I don't think...I mean, who could know for sure?) It all depends on how it's presented....Tommy, daddy has decided he's sort of uncomfortable in his own skin. Do you sort of know what that means? That he's not happy with who he is. He says he's always felt like he's a lady and now, finally, he's going to do something about it. He still loves you just as much. He's the same person he always was. But he's going to have some things done that will change him to look more like a lady." I just don't think a child that age (maybe slightly younger) would question it too much. As long as nothing much changed with his relationship with his dad/now mom, I believe he'd be fine.

Now, contrast that with what mom's more LIKELY to say, "Your dad is nutz!!! He thinks he's mommy now, so he's going to have surgery done so he can pretend he's a girl!! Jesus H. Christ!!"

Much like when your kid falls down and looks up at you to see if he should cry or not. ;)

Just my humble opinion.

Yes, and parents should avoid moving after the child reaches a certain age.
