Then listen to Trans people. If someone loses an arm you don’t go asking for a fair and balanced view on lost arms that considers both sides. Stop looking for the answers you think are not “political” and just listen to people.

Oyster_Lust@lemmy.world 7 months agoNo. I’m looking for honest help with my child, but thanks for exhibiting exactly what I was trying to avoid.
I don’t want to talk to just people who hate trans people, and I don’t want to talk to people who say trans people are the most beautiful thing in the world.
I want to have an honest discussion about what has worked clinically and in people’s actual circumstances, without people trying to say what they think my alterior motives are.

I’m looking for a community of family members, more in the vane of Alanon. As you can see from the comments people are either accusing me of being dishonest, or telling me just to affirm.
I am apposed to affirming, but I’m not opposed to being proven wrong. What u would like to do is have a discussion with families who have dealt with this and discuss what was successful and what wasn’t.
The people telling me to “love”, “accept”, or “affirm” know nothing of my child and their issues outside of the gender dysphoria. They are just projecting their macro ideas of gender onto my micro situation.
Anyone who has a “one size fits all” approach is not worth listening to, in my opinion. I’d like to talk to family members of children with gender dysphoria and find the commonalities between their child and mine, and find out what has worked and what hasn’t.

You logged into the wrong account there buddy?
Cos you’re replying as if you’re OP, but you’re not OPs account.
Wouldn’t happen to be trying to fake up content to support your shitty concern trolling are you?

I know your initial question is just about finding a suitable community to talk to but I think people are giving you a hard time because there’s no elaboration, perhaps if you’d just started out with the questions you had this would have went smoother.
