This is in the USA, where I believe it's even harder to get your GC voice heard. Her daughter insisted that she constantly affirms the grandson as a girl, use female pronouns, and so on. It's clearly the mother's agenda -- her partner was a transwoman.

I just read the whole thing Shock

(BTW the partner was a transman)

While generally I don't think grandparents should interfere in their children's parenting decisions this is a bit different.

At what age can you sue? It seems as if nothing will change until these children grow into mutilated sterile adults with reduced sexual function and reduced IQ and start suing.

That's a depressing read. Poor kid

Yes, I've got transwoman in my head too much! But you can tell that the whole philosophy must have been swirling around their heads from the start.
As a grandmother myself I can understand her horror and frustration. Yes, you can't interfere but you KNOW they're doing irreparable damage and nobody is listening.

There is a really dangerous precedent here. Don't like the gender of your child? Just change it.

How many poor fucked up adults are there going to be because mummy wanted a girl so had his penis cut off.

Although I get the fact that it is easier to transition before puberty, we would never allow a child to make a medical decision for themselves and that age and a parent should never be allowed to push this without the full and informed consent of the child.

A child cannot possibly give informed consent for this.They have no idea what it means to lose sexual and reproductive function.

No consent from a kid

Can the kid give informed consent to smoke fags get a tattoo drive a car have sex drink a whisky

Nope# but they can decide to never be a fully functioning adult

I whish someone would tell me what the difference is in these descions
