Jesus Christ.

I have a four year old. I have days when I get really frustrated with him or just want time to myself and it makes me feel like a bad mother. And then I see this shit and I don’t feel so bad anymore.

Also, having a kid the same age as some of the kids being transed by their parents in the link, I find it really hard, impossible even, to believe that parents would take their four year old wanting to play with the opposite sex or one day randomly proclaiming they want to be the opposite sex as a sign to start transitioning them, even when the kid is saying that’s not what they want. A few days ago my son pretended he was a dog. I guess I should have gotten him a collar and embraced that he’s a furry now

There was an interesting study linked on GCdebatesQT regarding mothers of trans kids. They are much more likely to be depressed or borderline.
