And frankly, the mother should have her day in court before a minor is allowed to be emancipated, I can’t believe MN doesn’t have that in place.

Which is funny because we are 10x more likely to commit suicide before we make any changes to our body.
I was depressed near 24/7 pre transition. In the year since I started hormones, I’ve been depressed twice and it can be contributed to specific events...

I watched a friend transition and the transformation from someone who was palpably uncomfortable in their own skin to someone who was actually happy was stunning. I had never known anyone in the trans community before and it was a great life lesson.

Hmmm....I think the universe of parents who’s children completely give up the financial security of their home, who make it clear that that they do not want contact with their child, and who still care, is relatively small. If one of those parents wants to take issue with my post, rather than simply hypothesizing…

She was arguing that trans/enby/NGC children are more likely to suffer depression, self-harm, and commit suicide, so the way to prevent that was, clearly, to force them to align with the gender that they were assigned at birth.

No. No parent deserves a day in court in emancipation of child when there’s clear, gross emotional abuses, medical neglect, and outright abandonment to this severity.

A dear friend started T a few months ago, and he is so, so much happier. It’s been such a joy to see him come into himself. He remarks regularly on how his depression and anxiety has abated. Between being able to feel a bit more comfortable in his own skin and having people around him cheering him on, it’s no wonder…

She abandoned her child to fend for herself. I’m fine with that being auto termination of her rights to continue fucking up her kid’s life.

Nope.

Given that the daughter is consistently referred to using she/her throughout the article, it’s unreasonable to assume that she uses anything other than she/her. Many trans folks, myself included, would find needlessly hedging about pronouns like that mildly offensive. Unless you do that when referring to anyone (cis…

It’s almost as though living under severe oppression has consequences! People are terrible.

She disowned her child when she came out to her about her gender identity, but she should have a say in the medical procedures said disowned child has?

Lord. Yeah, we do have a higher rate of mental illness and suicide, but that’s because we’re treated like shit in society. If a trans person has parents who love the for who they are and who will help the child however they can the rates of mental illnesses is much lower.

It sounds like she kicked the girl out of her house over a year ago. So, when clearly it’s the parent who stops doing their duty as a parent why should the child have to wait for them to have their day in court? She stopped parenting over a year ago.

No, it is obviously about gender reassignment. If the child is living on her own, and paying her own way in life, without her mother trying to contact her, the mother obviously does not care about the child. Yes, she doesn’t want the child legally emancipated, but she wants that determination made specifically for the…

Fuck people and fuck this woman in particular.

It could set a precedent that you need your parent’s permission to have any medical procedure preformed. Let’s be clear- they’re targeting both trans rights and women’s rights.

“The involvement of the Thomas More Society has led some to suggest that this particular case is an attempt to challenge the state’s parental notification law regarding abortion.”

Funny how they get all up there when it comes parental rights as if the child is the parents’ property, yet when it comes to having an…

yes

That time your mother sued you for trying to live your own life.
