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?

"Preferred pronouns" are used when speaking to OTHER ppl, not person themselves.Your "advice" is adults should lie re: their view of reality

The only one advising parents (who aren't a monolith) is you: Thought police parents on Twitter into agreeing w/your point of view.

You do advise parents not to disown their transgender adult children for being transgender, though, it sounds like.

"Disowning" a kid because they believe they're the opposite sex would be despicable. Parents/kids disagree about lots of things.
