A Pronoun Refresher for International Pronouns Day - Supporting Your Transgender Child
The third Wednesday of October is International Pronouns Day. Learning to use a new set of pronouns is one of the most challenging things we have to do as parents of transgender children. Let's talk about it.
Here are some posts I have on my website about using pronouns, when people refuse to use your child's pronouns, and reviewing a children's book about pronouns. I hope they help.

    no. no new pronouns. Looking at this Womans room, why is she targeting innocent children? common sense will tell you, call your child by his or her biological sex, teach them that they are a boy or girl based on that. It is really that simple. They can choose to live as the opposite gender later in life, but they need the base knowledge of what sex is and what it means in order to make the educated choice to go against it. Stop confusing kids.

    I've heard once one of these self-appointed mass-educators saying that some people don't have pronouns and should always be referred to by their names. For example: "Mary gave Mary's mother a picture of Mary""=). Then I understood this is all just too idiotic to even listen to. (BTW, if these pronoun-educators want to get some education I recommend reading about government and binding theory).

  • @kcconnor2636
    @kcconnor2636 3 дня назад

    All these new pronouns that trans people are proposing demonstrate a lack of understanding of how grammar and pronouns work. Firstly, let's establish that first and second person pronouns are genderless. They're also the pronouns that are fundamentally used in two party communication, and the pronouns that the speaker and the listener own. Also, I fully yield that a person owns his own name. If Mark wants to change his name to Marcia, that's his choice. He owns his name and his personhood. Third person pronouns are the battleground here. And when a person is the target of the third person pronoun, he has no say over the choice of pronoun. Take a 3-party conversation between people named A, B, and C. A says to B: "Give the bag to her." A is telling B to give the bag to the new party, C. A doesn't need to know the soulful navelgazing about identity that C is partaking in. B doesn't need to know about C's hormone therapy. What happened here is A make a quick approximation of what pronoun best describes C for B's understanding. If Marcia looks like a guy, he's getting a masculine pronoun. A owns his language. C has no claim on how best to describe C to B. The battle is over the notion that someone controls how others describe him. And no one does.

    what doesn't take a lot of practice, takes no time to adjust, and has been working fine in the English language for many many years is to just use the standard language that everyone learned. If it takes one to do mental gymnastics and mind acrobatics to simply refer to someone else in 3rd person, that means there's something wrong with that approach. The only language that belongs to a person is their own personal name. Everything else - nouns, adjectives, pronouns, verbs, adverbs etc. do not belong to a particular person but are rather a shared common language that must be easily understood by everyone else in order to communicate effectively and not create unnecessary confusion. If you bow and comply to one person's desires and wants at the expense of everyone else - that's wrong, misguided, and unethical IMO.

So called `trans` people need to start reining it in. It`s totally impossible to change an entire species approach to language use on the whim of a tiny deeply problematic minority. And nobody`s mentioned this `International Pronouns Day`. It isn`t a thing, because preferred pronoun use isn`t nor ever will be a thing.

    This is getting to the point where there needs to be a decision made on this... having gender specialists go around diagnosing children with gender dysphoria is one of the most laughable things ive ever heard, I would love to know the rate at which they turn children down compared to how many children they "affirm". Every time you hear a child that grows up and comes out and said they de-transitioned its almost the same identical story. "I wish someone would have challenged me more, I wish that someone would have pushed back a little harder... Instead the just affirmed my belief and sent me down a path that ended up destroying my life permanently". Now if you as a parent dont affirm your childs beliefs because they saw some gender theory online or their teacher introduced it to them you are seen as "abusive". These people are doing so much damage to society and not a single one of them cares because it seems intentional at this point.

    The problem is also that young children are impressionable and easily manipulated. Girls being lesbians was a phase when I was in high school and now most of them are in heterosexual relationships. One of my son’s very good friends was a lesbian all through high school and just recently came out and decided she liked boys. It’s a very slippery slope, which is why I disagree that any medical procedures should be done until adulthood.

    Hi! I appreciate that you’re trying to help ppl navigate what to do when their child is going through such a difficult phase where they don’t feel like they belong in the body they have. However, wouldn’t it be better to help them feel more comfortable in what they’re born in? To feel comfortable in their own skin. As opposed to agreeing and even medically altering their bodies when they’re so young? I only ask because when I was like 6 or 7 I used to put on my mom’s lipstick and play w Barbie dolls cuz I thought I was a girl. I grew out of that phase after a year or so and I am so thankful that my parents didn’t agree with me blindly or alter my body. I mean no offense to you just wanted to hear your thoughts thank you!!

      Thanks for taking the time to comment. Most transgender people, unless they are intersex and doctors perform surgeries on them as babies (which is controversial), don't have surgeries at a young age, and they don't grow out of a phase, such as you did. It's often a decades-long struggle to align themselves with the gender they feel inwardly before they come out, many as teens or young adults. It's only in the last decade or so that younger children are coming out because we are talking more about letting children express their gender at a younger age when transgender people have known at that early age that their gender didn't align with the one they were told they were. Just like we (you and I) have always known our gender, so have transgender people. There's a difference between trying out other genders to see what it's like and knowing in your soul that the gender you are doesn't match the body and gender you are told you are. Often, it's people who aren't transgender who have a hard time understanding that because it's not something we have experienced.
