Mom banned from transgender support group for speaking common sense

SOTT | Dec 1, 2017 | Suzanna Descalzi

Suzanna is helping to organize support groups for parents of youth who present with rapid-onset gender dysphoria. See here for more information.

Linda is a left-leaning Canadian mom, believer in science and common sense, who is navigating life with her 19-year-old trans-identified biological daughter. She hopes that her daughter will opt out of medical transition and eventually come to a more genuine understanding of who she really is.

The events described in this article recently took place in a support group jointly sponsored by Family Services Ottawa and Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario for "parents & caregivers of gender creative, trans, transgender children, youth or young adults."

It was my turn to introduce myself. "Oh God," I thought nervously, "here it goes!"

I glanced around at the others in the circle. Like me, they were all parents of children who had decided they were transgender. They were smiling politely, looking at me expectantly. I gripped the top of the spiral-bound notebook in my lap with both hands and, ignoring the group leader's request to "state your name and preferred pronouns," I began.

"Hi, my name is Linda and I am the mother of a 19-year-old girl who thinks she's transgender. Well, she thinks she's a boy, but really, she's a girl. I mean, you can't change your sex, right? It's scientifically impossible."

I paused and looked around. The friendly smiles froze in place. People shifted uncomfortably in their seats.

I had attended this support group sporadically since my daughter announced she was a boy three and a half years ago. The 25-30 parents who regularly attended all appeared to accept their child's self-declaration without question, and seemed happy to follow their doctors' recommendation that they "affirm" their children.

Of the 18-20 children represented by these parents, all but approximately three were teenage girls, including my own. Yet, none of the parents seemed bothered by this wildly skewed statistic. They all unquestioningly, even enthusiastically, supported their children's wish to transition-fighting for better, faster access to medical transitioning services, cheering when they heard our Children's Hospital was about to start offering mastectomies to children under the age of 18.
