A couple weeks ago my daughters girlfriend came out to her parents as trans. To put it lightly it did not go well. In less than a minute of starting the conversation it went from "Mom, Dad, I need to tell you something" to "Pack your #### and get out of my house"
She wound up running away, far away. Things went very bad. When we found this out we were heart broken. We actually went to her and convinced her to come back and she is now living with us.
So many things went through my head when this was happening. The main thing that I cannot wrap my head around is how does someone who raised their child from birth just suddenly turn their back on them and tell them they are worthless in the blink of an eye. I could never turn my back on my kids, no matter what they did.
Other things I thought of were some of the comments I have read where people were saying teachers in schools should be outing kids to their parents. I could not imagine how bad this would have been if her parents heard this from a third party and not directly from her. I think it would have had the same outcome but at least this way it came from her and not someone else. She would likely have come home one day and just been blindsided by her parents and had to confront everything head on, right then and there. That would have been a nightmare
We, my wife and I, had an idea of that she may have been going through a possible transition or something but it was not our place to say anything and we just let it be. There were little signs we were picking up on but we just told each other if it is happening it is up to her to bring it up.
We also knew her parents were very conservitive, and if it was true, they would likely take it badly when that day came. We were just not ready for something like the level it came to.
It is just mind boggling how people are like this. I know that people like this are out there, who just hate anyone that is not like them, but it is hard to just believe it until it happens in front of you I guess.

Garbage human beings taking the feelings of an imaginary sky god over their own child. Every word or teaching directly attributed to Jesus is all about love & acceptance, so why are his most hardcore followers so full of hate?
