I'd like to know if @sjwdebates or @econbrkfst have a problem with the fact that Olson didn't recruit non-affirming parents for her studies; or with her finding her subjects in gender clinics that affirm kids. I don't, because what she was studying was....affirmed trans kids.

In terms of impact/influence, K. Olson's work is funded by MacArthur grants & U.of Washington, & has been used by trans activists to prove affirmation is the only way. Yet she made no attempt to find a control group of kids loved & supported but not affirmed as opposite sex.

Econo, it’s a sad thing for sure to see this kind of thing tear up a family ... my condolences... there’s difference between non/affirm and hostile anti-affirm. There do exist desist-ers ... that have experienced the reverse. — research and robust inquiry is the way forward

Honest question: Do you think it's possible for a parent to love their child without sharing their conviction that they've changed sex? At some point this could be a good conversation to have, because it's not simple (for anyone).

Do you think its possible for a parent to love their child without sharing their conviction that they are able to love someone of the same gender?

If one's child is in a loving gay r'ship, refusing to believe it is a denial of reality. Similarly, if one's child says they're happy w/transition, refusal to believe that is also denial--but that's different from being asked to believe that child is literally a different sex.

but is it possible for the parents to love the child despite not "supporting them in their gay identity"?

Guess it would depend on what "not supporting" looks like. E.g., do they reject the partner, refuse to invite them into the family, berate them? Or do they silently wish things were different? It's a good question, that goes to the heart of what "support" means--in ANY context.

Does the answer change depending on those factors?
