Goody goody gumdrops have more heroic parenting, So much heroic parenting. Heroic parenting whereby parents deem themselves heroes by completely screwing up their kids for life. It's really exciting stuff. According to U.S. Magazine, US Magazine, proud mom Heather Jabra announced her 12 year-old child has come out as transgender. 12. 12. You're a terrible parent. Sorry, you are.

...

Also, it turns out that when you indulge your child in the bizarre fantasy that they can be a member of the opposite sex and start pretending that 12 year-olds, 12 year-olds are capable of making that decision to transition themself into boys, for example, constructing -- presumably you go all the way through the process a false penis from arm flesh that will never work properly. You will never be a man. It's never going to happen. That you are somehow a better parent for this. It's Munchausen Syndrome by proxy. Pat yourself on the back as you screw your kid beyond all recognition for life.

...

That is not your job as parents. I am sorry. It is not your job as parents to give your kid a, quote, safe and supportive environment so that they can grow up in a screwed-up way. It is your job to provide rules and roles and actual guidance. That is your job as a parent. Safe environment would be from outside influences that, for example, teach them lies like you can be a member of the opposite sex. And you do not have a duty to support delusion. In fact, you have a duty to fight delusion in your children. I'm sorry. This is textbook crap parenting.
