California Mother Appeals for Support for Transgender Teens After Losing Son to Suicide - ABC News
Pushing an agenda rather than treating the mentally ill. I have no doubt the mother had a major rule in pushing the denial of reality onto the teen. now mommy wants to be in the newspapers. Disgusting. Stop enabling the mentally ill. TREAT THEM for their mental illness.
"One issue that my son faced and a lot of other trans kids faced is being misgendered all the time," Prescott said. "A lot of people around him had a hard time changing the pronouns they used, and he felt stabbed in the heart every time someone would say 'she.' It's really traumatic to keep getting called something you truly feel you're not.
"People keep saying it's hard to remember and you have to remind them, but it's really not that hard," she added. "Once someone has stated their preference for a pronoun, you just need to get behind them and let go of all your preconceived notions about genders."
About that. If pronouns are important, quit refering to the issue being about genders. It's about sexes, not genders. Are scores of genders, but only 6 sexes.
What we should start doing since this seems to be an increasing thing, is 'sexing' children at birth via chromosomal test. Determine FOR SURE what sex they are. If they're one of the four not-male/female ones, that will be helpful to them later when they hit puberty and if they then wish to identify as something other than boy/girl.
