Would you accept a transgender child?

I would definitely support a transgender child. I know some transgender people who have had to suffer through families that either abused or abandoned them just for being themselves, and it's very sad. Among the transgender people I already know, I refer to them by whatever pronouns and names they tell me, and don't bother them about it. I have no less respect for them than any other human being. I do think that gender reassignment surgery is something that should wait until adulthood though. It's just not something I would want my kid to decide on that young. I know some people who are transgender and choose not to have the surgery, so I'd rather give them more time to make that choice. I suppose this is easier for me to say than for most people, since I think of myself as almost gender-neutral, though not transgender.

I think it is great that there are people who will take in a transgender child. I am not a parent and I never wanted to be. But if I were a parent I would accept my child whatever gender he/she wanted to be.
