lore-friendly transitioning methods

[RaionKansen]

“Most” absolutely do not suffer. Again, I am not saying all children will self harm if they cannot transition, nor am I saying that any child who says they want to marry their best friend at 6 years old means force transitioning. That is absurd. Research has shown that self harm at any age for LGBTQIA+ , stems from a lack of support. Parents are in charge of making sure their children eat, sleep, have a roof over their heads, and that they do not harm themselves, whether it’s falling off a jungle gym or playing with fire. It is not a parents job to dictate their thoughts and reality, it is a parents job to nurture their reality and nourish creativity. Their true nature will flourish on its own if the environment cares for it. A slippery slope is 100% not a core part of critical thought, and that is frightening to even see it in writing.

Most do suffer. By introducing the idea that they can or are born in the wrong body you've added massive existential stressors to their lives in a particularly vulnerable stage in their life. Its even worse when this comes from the media or a teacher at a school who is almost intentionally trying to divide their children from their parents. A lack of parent/guardian support is going to result in higher rates of self harm regardless, but you can't always accept and support everything your child does. It is a parent's job to dictate their child's thoughts and reality. Its also a parent's job to correct their children in the right ways so that it doesn't get internalized as hatred, or abandonment. Thats how you raise children safely and how you raise healthy, productive, successful children. Slippery slope is core to critical thought, but I can't really seem to get you to understand anything that is actually true. Children do not come to these conclusions on their own.
