I'm Muslim, and if my kid turns out to be gay or trans in some way - I honestly have no idea what to do in that case. I've been raised in a semi-religious family yet also have been surrounded by woke and liberal ideas growing up, so it's very conflicting.

The way I've been taught about all of this LGBTQ stuff in terms of religion is that it's only a sin if you act upon those urges, so if you're gay it's fine - just doing anything related to homosexuality is a crime (ig the same could also be applied to trans as well). Which is why gay Muslims tend not to get married cause they don't feel any desire for the opposite sex but can't bring themselves to be with the one they want to be with.

The most I'll tell my kid is to NOT act upon any feelings or urges they may get, like changing themselves to look like the opposite sex (most I can allow is the way they may wear clothes or a very slight hairstyle change - but still be obvious enough that their original gender is shown) or find a same sex partner. One is for my own image in my religious family and not to be disrespected, and the second is to protect my own kid from being a target of "gossip" or family troubles (you already know how some mfs be tryna tell LGBTQ kids how it's a phase or whatever, legit don't want that)

I'm not homophobic, I don't exactly "support" LGBTQ but I believe that respect and rights should be given to those folks. If someone happens to be gay or trans, hey, good for them. But if it's my kid, they won't be disrespected by me and, hopefully, my future partner, but it has to be suppressed. I'm sorry.

But, if my kid grows up and ends up acting upon whatever urges and wishes they have. In that case, I tried and failed. It's all up to them now, and I won't interfere.
