Cis people: if you have kids, how would you respond to them coming out as trans?

Trans people: what are you going to do (if anything) to let your children explore their gender on their own terms?

I figure at the very least I'm gonna give all my kids gender neutral names to make things easier and try to use they instead of he/she when talking about them with other people while they're young. You know, just to help keep them guarded from gender policing a little bit.
>>
Cis guy, if my kids turn trans I will stop considering them as mine and probably shoot them.

trans girl here

I'm not really going to do much, I just won't emphasize gender roles.

If they want to transition later, that's fine.

Considering I'm not a single mom, fey socialist, or negligent, my kids won't become trannies.

None of those things are correlated with gender dysphoria.

I am just going to love my children and let them explore as they wish. I will give them options and they can choose from those. The only expectations I have from my children is that they remain happy, and healthy as they learn to love life.
>>
>>5171944
No xenoestrogens either.
>>
>>5171961
This. They can play with whatever toys they want, and they can wear whatever they want, etc. Until they get old enough to tell me, I'll probably do a mix of traditionally feminine and masculine things.
>>
>>5169896
not gonna have kids, coz i dont have a baby maker to pop them out of. and diddnt save any sperm, coz fuck that.

>>5171937
lol my parents are WASP's , are conservative republicans, are still together, and were very attentive while raising me...and guess what... it diddnt stop me from being trans.

luckily my parents arent assholes and they love and accept me.
>>
>>5169896

I'm going to make them seriously question their assumptions about social gender roles and guarantee that they are suffering from a real mental illness as opposed to tumblritis and then I will support them in their medical journey to the hilt, 110%

Trans is fine. Trender is grounds for severe punishment

you're overthinking things. just treat them like human beings and don't force them to do things

What I'd do as a cis girl once forced into dresses against my will and currently (and often) mistaken for a man:

Go with the conventional genital-pronoun alignment but expose them early and often to the concept of transness. If possible, expose them to any trans friends I might have. Keep a sharp ear out if they mention anything regarding that, and make sure to be supportive.

I'd be an awful parent though so I don't want kids.
>>
>>5172224
Pretty solid strategy. I like it.

>I'd be an awful parent though so I don't want kids.
Well you wouldn't be awful on this front, if anything.
>>
>>5169896
okay i'm mtf, but like,
what are you gonna do? if they wanted to transition i'd be seriously worried that it's because they looked up to me. not a chance i'd let them make any decisions like that before 16 unless it's that obvious.

hell i probably wouldn't even tell them i'm fucking trans if i could avoid it. let them know it exists, show them trans friends, whatever, but you don't want them aspiring to switch genders. that's extremely destructive and you want to avoid it at all costs.
>>
>>5169896
I would support them and make it absolutely certain that they don't become a hon.

White people are best people, as it turns out.

Try that in a traditional Indian or Mexi family and you're gonna die

i'm never having kids but my friend who has a 7-year-old (she was a teen mom) has been doing pretty well on the gender front. when i was living with her she was careful to correct him when he mixed up my pronouns, and she does a good job of letting him wear dresses & nail polish, enjoy pink things, and collect mlp toys without making a big deal of it or insisting he must be a trans girl (he's pretty adamant about being a boy, too). she's explained to him what being trans is & said she'd be totally cool with it if he was trans, but doesn't pressure him into thinking he must be because of his hobbies (unlike certain people i used to know). she's also good at warning him about how some people might react if he does those things in public while letting him decide whether he wants to take those risks (we're in an area where at worst he'll get verbally harassed unless they're planning on going to certain places). like in general, she tries to let him make his own decisions as long as they won't hurt him or others (or will get other adults mad at him, like he's learned that swears are exclusively "grown-up words" etc.) and when she sets a strong rule, puts effort into explaining why it's a rule without acting like the explanation makes it negotiable.

Thanks anon, I appreciate that.

I'd just make the same mistakes my dad did, though, so I think it's better not to.

I'd try to be as supportive and open minded as I can and do my best not to force anything on them.

Probably easier said than done cause I don't have kids.

Trans here.

I want to encourage my kid to be well rounded, but leave them leeway in how they do it.

My kids will need to be active, be well read, be critical thinkers, be problem solvers, and be able to express themselves.

I wouldn't force my boy to play football or my girl to do ballet, but they do have to do some sort of physical activity. They can't just be little fat blobs that poke around on their tablet all day.
They have to read books, on a subject or their choosing.
They have to practice an art, be it painting, drawing, sculpting, playing an instrument, singing, etc.

I know it might seem overbearing, but I think all people can be nourished in an environment where they can develop their creativity, athleticism and literacy.

Toys, clothes, and hairstyles within reason should be up to them.
I do think it is important for them not to push to extremes when they are going to school or doing similar activities. If my boy wanted to wear a poofy pink dress then that would be okay during his free time, but there is no way he is wearing that to school. He could wear a lot of gender neutral clothes to school, or even girl clothes, just nothing as overt as a dress or skirt in school. Mostly for his own protection.

I know the chances of having a trans child are very very small, but it is small things like this that would make me feel at ease with myself, knowing I could give a trans child a better upbringing than I had in a way that wouldn't hurt a cis child.

I would probably try to keep names close to gender neutral too, or at least a name with a gender neutral nickname. Name changes aren't that big of a hassle.
>>
>>5169896
I wouldn't beat them or anything, but I'd certainly disown them. Definitely would not ever be seen in public with them.
>>
>>5172472
>white people with dark hair
No.

Are we counting people that are 50-50 as white?

I guess I'm white then. Thanks.
>>
>>5172509
You've never seen a white person with dark hair? What universe are you living in?
>>
I would buy them a new wardrobe and promote indepth sexual exploration, underage sex and social activism.

I may need to quit my job and start homeschooling, to shield them from the horrors of the cisworld.
>>
>>5172518
White people have medium brown hair at best.

If they have dark brown or black hair then they are not white. They probably have some arab, black, indian, or asian in them.

One drop rule.
>>
>>5172158
I don't understand what you mean. I'll get a mix of boys and girls toys and clothes until my kid is old enough to tell me what they want. Then at the point they will get what they want within reason.
How is that forcing them to do anything or overthinking it?
>>
>>5172448
Yes. Niggers and spics are generally homophobic and transphobic and disown or abuse their kids.
>>
>>5172602
my grandparents on both sides of my family literally got genealogy tests because they're both obsessed with family trees. we're completely european but have almost-black brown hair on my dad's (norwegian) side.

>Cis people: if you have kids, how would you respond to them coming out as trans?
I'm a guy.
I would put them on hormone blockers once they hit puberty and about 14 or 16 they can have hormones
I will not treat my kids any different than i would treat anyone else when it comes to gender stuff when they are born they are that sex so until they decide otherwise that is what they are.
>>
>>5172287
depends on how traditional because moth Indians and Mexicans have cultural ties to third gender or trans roles
>>
>>5172602
greeks have natural black hair my nig although they are barley European (65%)

This is impossible to answer correctly because I don't know what it's like to have a child. But I've always thought that the best you can do with your child is to listen and talk with him no matter what the issue happens to be. When I was 12 I was caught drinking alcohol and cutting my wrists and my parents flipped out and blamed everything on me. I wish they would have just listened to me that I was feeling miserable, but they never even asked why I was doing it and just grounded me.
>>
>>5173763
Since the vast majority of people are comfortable with the gender and gender roles of their sex I'd start off raising their gender in accordance with their sex, however I wouldn't stop them from doing anything gender atypical.
>>
>>5173751

This is complete and utter bullshit with bells on.

>Trans people: what are you going to do (if anything) to let your children explore their gender on their own terms?

if i had kids i would just let them decide what kind of clothes, hairstyle etc. they want (nothing too crazy of course, no shorts in winter or stuff like that)
and i would try to have a good relationship to them so they know they can tell me everything and i will always love them and it doesn't matter to me if they're lgbt or anything
If they were trans i would try to get them the therapy and blockers they need of course
also i think i would be more comfortable to adopt (give birth to if science allows (it won't in my lifetime)) a daughter, because it would be really hard for me to tell a boy he can't do that because other kids could bully him or beat him up, it's just really sad imo
>>
>>5172509

Black hair, dark brown eyes. I was told I was 100% white growing up. (And my parents were named Charles and Tracy, how fucking white can you get?) Suddenly, my grandmother remembers that my mother spoke fluent Spanish and looked at least half Hispanic. Did some DNA research, and I'm mixed.

Just from my own experience, I think you're probably right.
>>
>>5169896
I would tell them that they are not going to become the gender they want to be. They are going to become a trans person. As long as they understand that they can do whatever they want.
>>
>>5174253

Hispanics and latinos are white if they're white. Go tell a Spaniard or a Cuban or a Sicilian he's not white, I'll wait here.

It's only very recently that Hispanics that weren't mestizo have started separating themselves for white in general, thanks to identity politics bullshit where you get a cookie for declaring yourself a minority of some kind
>>
>>5172602
You are from some other species I presume, as Much of the Mediterranean would disagree and refer to themselves as "white".
>>
>>5173746
Hormone blockers huh? You apparently don't know much about child development, might want to have that looked at.
>>
>>5174699
And I guess you, 4chan PhD know more about child development than all the experts that recommend puberty blockers for trans children?

I'd kill myself if my children wanted to transition. I'd think like it's because they're mum isn't a proper woman.
