There are people here whose perspectives on transgenderism are much more intensely negative than yours are. Your perspective on the matter is significantly more reasonable and understandable because it’s obvious that you’ve actually thought about these things. Furthermore, your perspective is just as valid as anybody else’s. You are loved, regardless of what you may or may not feel. But you gotta have a long term strategy. There’s always the risk that by telling a boy they shouldn’t do something you’re encouraging them to double down. Much of the time, it really is just a phase. Not always. But you don’t want people to convince him of things that may not necessarily be true. In this day and age, a lot of boys surround themselves with people who aren’t looking out for their best interests and are instead merely telling them what they want to hear. You don’t want be on the outside of that. And, if a boy is into the idea of lawbreaking...well, that’s a no brainer. Instead, you should find the opportunities to challenge his beliefs in a non-confrontational way. And while you’re challenging his beliefs, be open to what he tells you. If it doesn’t make sense, encourage him to clarify. In the end, we can only guide them so much. It’s still their life. |
