You know what they say...if the person is over 18 and wants a sex change they have a mental illness if they are under 18 then the parents have a mental illness.

If body parts don't define a person's gender then how does mutilating them affirm it? 🤔

Typically ignorant response on this subject. I speak from experience, but only from my own experience. Not from any others.

It’s been far from normal. It’s been extremely unusual and difficult to handle for everyone involved.

It took them many, many years to come to the reality of how they feel. The difference today is that they can now express those feelings whereas in the past they would have spent a lifetime feeling confused. Both now feel comfortable in themselves, accepted within their peer groups but very aware of the prejudice that exists in some sections of society. One is now studying for their PhD at Southampton the other for a BA at Exeter.

I can assure that their parents are very far from being idiots either.

Whether some children with mental health issues try to copycat those with genuine issues is beyond the scope of my knowledge. What I do know is that the amount of screening, counselling and careful slow transition means that such children would be screened out and directed to more appropriate support very early on.

So, how committed are the two in their belief that they are a different gender to that which they were born with? Have they had surgery that would now match their new identity?

I am not going to discuss such personal matters here. Suffice to say they are both being well supported, especially by their parents, and are happier now than they have ever been. Which is what really matters and not what others think.

EFA!

 

[Wisbech Eagle]

So by chance 2 of them are chicks with d1cks. Yeah, the chances.

No they were brother and sister who have become sister and brother.

Dick with tits.

 

[Rudi Hedman]

Actually one is a chick with a dick and the other must be a geezer looking bird.

Both from the same parents. All very normal.

Almost statistically impossible having two kids that are trans. Most cases it's the parents with a mental illness than push their idealogy on the children. And in some cases the grandparents are at fault....

Very very sad. I hope the children get the help they actually need and hopefully they avoid being mutilated by sickos.

Right over the target mate.

It’s extremely unusual and has been very difficult to handle and come to terms with. For everyone in the family.

You are both ignorant and extremely rude. Unless you are a specialist in this field you cannot possibly know the statistical scenarios. I doubt there’s enough data to be measured. Nor can you diagnose the causes, let alone make stupid assertions that mentally ill parents are encouraging it. What complete nonsense!

I can assure you neither parent has any kind of mental illness. My daughter held executive positions with major City institutions before retiring early. My son in law is a Director of a fast growing AI based service provider to the retail industry. His responsibility being compliance in the markets served. I’ll ignore the personal dig, which is contemptuous.

Both have received comprehensive guidance, advice and support over many years. They are no longer children, but young adults and both are extremely bright.

Living professional lives does not mean warped and odd parental influences don’t happen. There’s plenty of oddballs in London. Plenty of them. That’s fecking sad in itself.

That's not how you've have written it up on here.

If indeed it has been like that within the family then you deserve criticism for your very one sided approach on here.

My concern is for the kids well being. I hope they get support based on their individual needs and not external pressures from people with mental illnesses. There is a high suicide rate among the trans community. I really hope they get the help they need.

As I said these unfortunate outcomes are rare and often influenced by external factors.
Very very sad indeed.

I do wonder if this is either like an adolescent call for attention or an attempt to show us up. Extremely sad if so but also sad that if true you can put 2 siblings being trans down to a coincidence rather than nurture.
