oh no, parents are being forced to respect their children's psychological needs

your jimmy wants to be a clara and you think it's dumb bye bye

[otto-san]

psychological "needs" which are loving nuts

If a kid goes "I identify as a desk chair and I love it when people sit their sweaty asses on me," the parents have to agree and support it or else Canada's version of DHS kicks in

it's loving nuts lol

that's not a gender identity tho lol

duno where this idea that otherkin = gender dysphoria comes from, but it's clinically inaccurate. parents who actively refuse to create a supportive environment where someone in their care with gender dysphoria can live as their preferred identity, or even worse, harass them and disregard their identity, are legitimately causing actual psychological harm to that person and that isn't okay in any circumstance

that's not a gender identity tho lol

The kid can treat it as one tho lol

how? it legitimately just doesn't fit the bill. like, i seriously doubt the letter of the law would even respect something like that, because it seriously just isn't a gender identity in any sense of the word

We're talking about kids. Kids. Anyone who's seen kids know they say stupid stuff all the time. My neighbor's kid once said his blanket was magic because it kept him warm. Imagine if he wanted to be a girl. According to Canada if the parents say 'no you're like 11' that's bad and mean and horrible

there's a strict, established procedure for diagnosing gender dysphoria in children and i'm assuming that they would need a formal diagnosis or at least fit the bill https://www.psychiatry.org/patients-families/gender-dysphoria/what-is-gender-dysphoria

yeah, but gender dysphoria is really hard to diagnose, because of the uncertainty behind the kid's commitment to being another gender
there's a good chance that they're just homoloveual and will grow out of those feelings over time, so to do anything drastic right off the bat is dangerous thinking

and let's not forget, this is Canada, with their xe's and xim's and cacacoocoopeepee's, and such laws protecting proper pronoun usage
in short, it stupid, it's a gross overreach of power and I'm not surprised because it's loving Canada

which is why the diagnosis requirements are specifically stricter for children (see the link in that quote for more detailed info about the clinical definition of this stuff)

what is a genderforget

I actually feel that feeding a child's delusion about being able to choose their gender is child abuse. Hopefully this tumblr bullstuff will pass someday before people become fully handicapped.

oh no, parents are being forced to respect their children's psychological needs

It's one thing to let your child play around and pretend to be something while they play
It's another to feed into delusions of nonbinary genders. In fact, I think it'd be child abuse to not sit my son or daughter down and explain to them that there are only two genders and they're just going through a phase. It's pretty ridiculous that this is even a discussion lately.
And let me stress that I'm only talking about kids that say they're nonbinary. I would support my child if they were an actual trans person, not some made believe nonsense. I wouldn't hate them or abuse them or anything, but I'd tell them there's no point in life where I'd take their made up third gender seriously.

Here we see the extra left chromosome kick in as Nonnel goes Super Libtard™.

If my child was autistic and i refused to acknowledge their mental differences even if it's been medically determined then that's legally child neglect. Canada's just trying to be consistent and some conservatives here are throwing a fit because a country with their own freedom to decide laws is going against their viewpoint

Either way it's been medically and scientifically proven that gender is a social definition so i doubt that it falls into the category of a mental difference anymore

It's another to feed into delusions of nonbinary genders.

The illusion most of the civilized world and scientific community acknowledges is true. If you want to play pretend and act like there aren't more than two genders that's fine, but nobody is going to pander to your refusal to accept the truth. Life moves on.
