I have not listened to any local SA sports or Mike Taylor in over 10 years and honestly didn't even know he was still on air here. Last I heard of this guy he had knocked up a local weather girl (while married with kids!) and moved off to Wisconsin or some such. Apparently one of his spawns with said former weather girl has decided she wants to be a he and they moved to Hawaii to be around like-minded people? He has decided to lend his powerful voice to oppose the latest transgender laws, lol. Yes, I am going to take parenting advice from this guy.

A few gems from the article....

"It's not a mental disorder. We're just normal people. That's the message that I want out there," Taylor said. "There are people in this state that think that we're all having underground illegal, unethical surgeries. No one is. We're normal people."

"I need to let people realize that we just are such a small group of people that we're not some huge threat. We don't need laws passed against us to discriminate against us. Whether you will ever totally understand it or not. I need you to understand that this is senseless what's going on in Austin."

It's always easier to say this sort of thing when you never had to face it. When prospects include losing a kid I've seen plenty of attitudes change, the ones that don't it never ends well.

There's nothing normal about this. The father is encouraging a mental illness that has been emboldened and glorified by the whacked out secular progressive left in America.

My viewpoint will never change.

Homosexuality, Transgenderism, and Sexual Promiscuity are sinful and destructive to civilization.

The Bible is ALWAYS right.

Encouraging fantasies is child abuse. Not stepping in to deal with mental illness is child abuse.

When a pill is developed to cure the gay or trans mental illness then we can ban gay or trans. Until that day wgaf.

People like him have led to men in women's bathrooms (a simple example not too complex for you), which has direct impact to many of us with daughters.

Are you really that ignorant?

Bummer. What do you propose is the solution?

Points for including sexual promiscuity though in your list, wide net that probably includes quite a few posters here.

Classic deflection as you have no answer. You are trivializing child abuse.

This should be defined on the basis of born sex for performance based activities. I don't agree with this.

Doesn't mean I'm going to crucify the rest of the trans community who are authentically trans.

I can name more Republican legislators arrested for compromising bathroom situations than I can trans people.

Can you name any? (Without looking them up)

It's still early.

And by the way. Treating a kid, especially a kid who is confused as hell about what they feel and why, like there's something wrong, or faulty, or broken, or embarrassing, or bad about them is the surest way to really mess them up for life and mess up your relationship with them.

Get them therapy and try to work to get to the heart of why they feel like they do so that they can understand themselves and you can help them through their childhood in as happy and healthy a way as possible. So that when they reach adulthood they can then make informed and intelligent decisions about themselves, their own self care, and their own lifestyle.

Kids look to their parents for unconditional love, support, and understanding. We don't need any more messed up people with parent issues that spend their entire lives trying to fill the empty hole of a lost parental relationship with all sorts of terrible things. It's amazing how many people there are that are messed up for life because of mom and/or dad.

What is incontrovertible in all of this is that if your handling of the situation damages a child either physically OR emotionally/psychologically then you did the wrong thing. The child, and the adult that child becomes, is the ultimate arbiter of that.

Article says the kids is 10. They moved 2 years ago. What 8 year olds have these types of confusions?

The answer is 8 year olds whose parents expose them to confusing subject matter.

Do you really rhink it's ethical to allow a ciild to irreversibly mutilate him or herself based on what could be a phase? I grew up with several "tomboys" who became feminine in jr. high or high school. What if they had been exposed to the leftist propaganda in elementary school that encouraged them to follow their feelings all the way to the clinic for hormone blockers?

We don't let kids get tattoos but this is ok?

There is no such thing as "authentically trans". It is a mental health issue. That said, a person over 18 years of age can do to themselves whatever they would like. If they choose to have disfiguring plastic surgery to attempt to mimic the appearance of the animal, vegetable or mineral that they think they really are and can find a doctor willing to perform the surgery, they are free to do as they please.

And just as no one can stop them from taking those actions, no one is required to accept their version of reality as fact.

Children however, are another issue entirely. Just as we don't allow children to drink alcohol, vote, drive and a host of other things because we recognize that they do not possess the appropriate maturity to make decisions with great consequences, that has to be recognized here as well. The decision to undertake life altering surgical and biochemical actions on their body has to be reserved for the adult individual to make, and not anyone else.
