I am not deciding shit for anyone. I'm concluding your kid is most likely MtF, based on the info you provided — "in my simple brain he has a dick he's a boy" + usage of the word "trans".

And, even in the chance my conclusion is incorrect (the kid is actually genderfluid, or non-binary, et cetera), my point still stands, even if you pretend it doesn't dammit. You highlighted you use "he/him" because the kid has a dick, regardless of the kid's identity, that's an arsehole move, doubly so coming from a parent. The right approach would be to use the ones the kid chose.

You’re the one assuming shit here

Not really.

I’m laughing […] I find that funny.

EDIT: I usually don't bring shit from the modlog up, because it's often a diversion tactic. However, in this case, it's 100% relevant: the user above defends physical violence against children. In his own words, "I'm saying this with all the honesty. We need to start beating our kids again."

It explains a lot, doesn't it? If a person doesn't get why physical abuse against kids is bad, the idea of respecting someone else's choices is a bit too complex for that person.

He's actually stated he's more asexual than anything but no, your point doesn't stand if anything you're highlighting ignorance from the other side.

That said you're not looking to discuss you're looking to scream from your soapbox and that I have neither the time nor the give a shit to hear it.

Edit - also takes a real terminally online twat to 1. Believe a post because it's the gospel truth and 2. Take the time to dig through someone's post history for it.

You're a trip brother. Get outside.
