Should parents be held legally accountable for gender scramblied children?

Question

It's the parents' job to help their childrens love their own bodies, to be comfortable in them and confident in them.
I met a family with a 100 lb 7 year old girl. mother was given a lot of support - father not available, older brother using drugs, no one in family willing to help change diet, etc. All good explanations but one went so far as to say, "Fat is beautiful, let her do as she wants until she grows up and choses for herself" -- not one offered her help to carry out the pediatrician's instructions!!
It's the parent's responsibility to educated their children. Mostly the mother's in the food situation and mostly the father's with gender scrambled children.
Fathers: grow a pair and stand up to the plate.

Been living in sissydom, I didn't like it all. I wouldn't wish it on anyone

Boys should be happy with being boys and girls happy with being girls. Sure the boy can be anything he wants (hair dresser, nurse) as long as he is not just hiding out from the other boys. Girls likewise, as long as they are proud to be on the girls' team and not running away -- it's the parents job to teach self respect

Answer 1

Should parents be held legally responsible? Of course not. Morally responsible? Yes. The law should have no say in how we raise our children. It should be up to the parent to decide what is best. However, seeing as alot of parents seem to be rather unfit for job, it's a hard matter to decide. I hope this young girl finds her inner strength someday. As far as telling her "Fat is beautiful", well, to each their own, I'm not saying it's not beautiful. However an unhealthy weight will definately result in her being picked on by peers (It happens, don't say it doesn't) Im a little confused on the gender scrambled part...could you elaborate some?

Answer 2

Wtf?

Gender variation isn't some neurotic response to self-loathing! And just because someone's gender identity or expression is confusing to you doesn't make them "gender scrambled"!

You can't teach a transexual child to "love their bodies" and learn to be happy as their assigned sex. It's not about being able to do things, to hold particular jobs or dress certain ways, it's about their intrinsic knowledge of who and what they are.

A trans woman isn't a boy who thought the only way he could be "feminine" or be a hair stylist or something was to "become" a woman; she is a woman and was born a woman, even if this wasn't immediately evident from her appearance at birth. And like any other women, any given trans woman may not even be particularly "feminine" or interested in conventionally female professions. Hell, some are butch lesbians who wouldn't wear a dress if you put a gun to their head.

And ditto for trans men - I am a trans man, and I have always been a man. My psyche, my neural wiring or my soul if you believe in souls, is that of a man. There is no way for such a psyche/soul to be "comfortable" when asked to inhabit the form of a woman. I am not particularly "butch," in fact to be blunt I'm gay and a ******' glitter fairy. I did not transition so that I could *do* anything, I transitioned because I'm not a woman and the prospect of living the rest of my life under the false pretense of being a woman was not tolerable.

A person doesn't transition so that they can do other things, they transition just so they can live as the appropriate gender.

Unfortunately you cant pick your parents - what about the poor kids starving in Africa? Their parents had them because their is no contraception available - I think you just have to take life as its dished out to you from the beginning - some people don't know any better and this is called a cycle - there is no great book to parenting and we only do what we are taught.

Answer 4

How could they be responsible? It doesn't matter what they are taught, they are going to be who they are regardless! All we as parents can do is try our best and hope they aren't to screwed up. It's not like skipping school, stealing, vandalism or drugs. Parents are accountable for those things but it's not possible to be accountable for something that is out of there hands.

Answer 5

you recognize, that's a toughy relatively. dad and mom with obese little ones are often over weight themselves.So in the event that they are actually unable to maintain their very very own well being themes then they're going to maximum possibly be unable to maintain their youngster's. maximum medical doctors are lenient with this undertaking because of the fact some little ones initiate out as little piggys and then start to loose weight as they grow old and drop the toddler fat. i individually think of that a doctor might desire to recommend that the dad and mom of and obese baby a eating habitual plan or recommend the youngster be positioned on one(show them so the finished kinfolk can changeand recommend a dietiction or therophist).and then if the checklist sees no outcomes after a definite volume of time and has governed out all different conceivable reasons different than undesirable eating conduct and might show the dad and mom are actually not doing as informed..........then the dad and mom might desire to be stated.permitting CPS to step in and supply the dad and mom a guild line to stay with and in the event that they don't look to be met, definite eliminate the youngster.until eventually the dad and mom can take administration of their lives and eating conduct. yet, weight problems is an exceedingly not straightforward element, that's hereditary 9 situations out of 10 and you will't basically punish somebody for having undesirable genes and then carring them into their baby. I'am a baby of obese dad and mom.notably much all human beings in my kinfolk is obese...with the exception of me.The genes are there and in me...yet, i maintained my weight on my very very own...wasn't not straightforward, i grow to be an magnificent baby and hated sugary meals and such. yet, i grow to check very undesirable eating conduct.My sister has battled her weight notably much her finished existence and is now finally taking administration of her eating conduct and that of her families to boot.stable pastime SIS! *excuse the undesirable spelling,spell verify would not artwork)
