Parents can love/support kids in dressing/behaving as they like; but if a parent doesn't believe child is "really" opposite sex, why lie?

Love isn't equivalent to agreeing w/someone's subjective views w/ which you disagree. This gets lost in accusations of "transphobic" parents

I thought you were worried about the negative effects of hormone blockers, and about making children trans who wouldn't be otherwise?

"You" is a group of parents, each w/ own approach. But kids aren't "rejected". Parents can be kind and honest at same time.

If your child has been identifying as a certain gender from age 5, and you continue to misgender them at age 20, that is not kind, IMO.

A middle way (you're uninterested in hearing about): Not going out of one's way to "misgender" but not lying when asked. Lying is never kind

I really do want to hear about that! Tell me more. Does that mean using preferred pronouns and name for your trans child who is 18 or over?

No, I am being pragmatic. I want to know what your practical approach to parenting an adult trans person is.

If a female child has been identifying as a boy since age 5, would you use their preferred pronouns & name at age 20? This is basic stuff.

Your attempts to bait are transparent. Every parent chooses their own path, something you know little about. Go back to your echo chamber.

I'm just asking a simple question. You're right, I don't know what it's like to be a parent. Tell me what you do about this issue.

Your advice to parents is: if you don't believe your adult child is their self ID'd gender, then don't use their preferred pronouns?
