The mother of a transgender girl sobbed in federal court Wednesday as she contemplated having to move away from her Navy officer husband to get health care for her 12-year-old if Florida’s ban on gender dysphoria treatments for minors is allowed to take affect.
The woman, who testified as Jane Doe to protect the identity of her child, said her daughter went from being anxious and upset to a thriving, happy straight-A student after being allowed to live as a girl about eight years ago, a decision she made with her husband after multiple visits to their family’s doctor.
But as the girl approaches puberty, she fears she will start turning into a boy. Without treatment, she and her family will be devasted, the mother said.
I liked wearing my moms heels and even put on makeup around that age.
I can see the current climate causing parents to think that means more than it does.
My mom was great, though. She always let me make decisions like these on my own and didn’t encourage me one way or the other to be something I’m not.
Similarly my parents acquiesced to my begging for a Barbie doll. My dad was worried it would be a gateway to his son pursuing unmanly things. But even at that early age what I was fascinated by wasn’t the fashion or playhouses but the idea of having dominance over a femme entity.
I still resent myself for it because I haven’t grown past that behavior, in video games I choose femme avatars to literally control them. Back when I still made excuses to permit myself to date, I would abuse my girlfriend by flipping the dresser around to face the wall while she was showering so I could control her access to clothing
I guess my point is that there’s a lot children can explore at an early age.
What do you mean “excuses to permit yourself to date?” Have you just… not have had therapy for your abusive nature? How do you deal with your “idea of having dominance” in public/at work? You wanted to be dominant over girls when you were, like, 4?
In short, what?
I was playing Wonder Woman in the schoolyard as Wonder Woman. The guys beat me up so I mostly ran with girls. At 50 I learned to wear women’s clothes because they fit my skinny ass. I wore pink Oxfords to the office, way before it was cool.
And on the Kinsey scale, I’m so far to the hetero side it’s laughable. 50+ lovers, all women. Well, one time I let a dude suck my dick because it was a 3-some and I wanted to fuck his green haired gf. Got her all turned on!
(Serious clothing tip for my skinny boys! I look sharp as hell in a woman’s hoodie, jacket, whatever. Woman’s clothes cut in at the waist, fucking fit looking! Just got a Christmas gift from my company, picked a woman’s jacket in my size. Wife about fainted, couldn’t keep her hands off me.)
