What makes you think I haven't done such an obvious thing as to talk with my kid about it?
Good grief.
Put down the pitchfork.
Because you said "it seems" which suggests you are guessing but don't actually know.
And also because you think your own biased view of what is "very girly" has something to do with your child's gender identity.
So maybe you have talked to them about it, I don't know, but it doesn't sound like you listened.
I mean this alone-
It should no more break your old person brain any more than it should finding out your child is not heterosexual. If it is breaking your brain, you need to check your prejudices.
I'm glad your wouldn't do anything about a child's self-defined gender, but you still need to look at what you're saying and how you're judging.
Reading comprehension isn't your strong suit is it? Either that, or you're just a bit histrionic. Either way, trying to attack me and call me prejudiced when you've judged me with very little logic or basic understanding is pretty rich.
Move on, cowboy. You can't shame or intimidate me when you grasp so little about my situation. Bullying is not the way to get people to re-examine themselves, even if it is their best path forward.
