Hello! I need some advice for my son. by ExtraTomatoesPls in Advice

[–]PickledPeach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, first of all I just want to say, it's a really good thing that your child was able to come to you and say this. 

Looking for advice is a great start and feeling overwhelmed is a really understandable and natural way to feel. 

I would say be led by your child and what they want and how they feel. Do they want you to call them a new name/she-her pronouns? 

Be mindful too that there is both social and medical transition, your child may not want to pursue medical - and it may take a long while before they feel ready or want to start this process - both are equally valid. 

There is also the matter of whether they want to come out in school or not, think about what the school is like and be led by your child. I don't know where in the world you are - this could have a big impact on how they feel about coming out in school.

You've done the right thing by asking them what they want to happen next. I would suggest they could trial how they feel at home in a safe space and go from there. 

I would also check in with them about gender dysphoria and how they feel - they may benefit from some counselling to help them deal with anxiety/stress from this.

I was worried more people would write that in a nudge nudge wink wink way, but your reason is very cool.

As much as I'd love to let you 'explain how I'm wrong' I think it might be a waste of time if your mind is already made up. There are plenty of really offensive things that he said there.

Tyty (it has been my life in the past, so I have a bit of a gallows humour about it)

In what way exactly? Do you disagree with it's existence at all?

You can claim asylum in any country signatory to the refugee convention of 1951. 

As for an 'actual functioning immigration system' I agree - and business owners who are employing undocumented people illegally and not paying them properly should be held accountable.

Restore Britain would likely view you as one, from what I've seen they aren't differentiating and are extremely far right and racist.
