There really need to be more resources for trans youth with transphobic/gender critical parents. "ROGD parents" are sketchy as hell and getting more organized. We need to counter their organizations but we also need to find ways to support their kids.

Can you imagine how much the GCs will scream about 'safeguarding' and 'undermining parents' and 'pedos' :/

Having observed these people for years, I sure can. They'll freak the fuck out.

I think the key is engaging with parents of kids coming out BEFORE they get captured by the ‘gender critical’ crew.

In some cases that might work but some of these parents are abusive and the core issue is that they want to control their kids. Like they would probably still be treating their kid badly even if their kid wasn't trans.

Think part of that needs to be engaging with existing LGBTQ+ youth groups. Idk where you're based but there are a few decent ones in NW England. And yeah part of that means doing things properly, making sure adult volunteers are properly vetted and whatnot, so can't be ad hoc.
