LOL Did they now?! FAIL.

Yeah. Dumbasses. I think it was Germany that was way into this. But it couldn't have been Hitler 'cos he'd just kill the queers.

Historians on this board: DON'T KILL ME IF I'M WRONG ABOUT THE WHEN/WHO. I'm not a bookworm like you guys are; at least not in the same way.

UGH SO IRRITATING

I can't find my mom a good site to join like Susan's where she can get support and information.... Everything has broken links when I do searches or just doesn't apply to her (like transgendered parents...aka transgenders with kids).

She's not transgendered she needs support to understand her transgendered child, and to know that there are others going through this.......




Personally I'd let her come to Susan's because the people here are so great, but I know I've said a lot of crap here I wouldn't like my mother to know about, and then there's my blog with stuff like DRUGS mentioned in it and she's freaked enough as it is.... This is my comfort zone, and it'd probably be slightly uncomfortable if mom joined...

You know, I tried to find other support sites for myself this summer, and I didn't find ANYthing nearly as terrific as Susan's. I suppose that's a testament to the sheer wonderfulness of this place.

I wish I could offer some advice, Nate, but I'm not as "in the know" about stuff like this as other people here would be. I suggest that you start a new thread, maybe on a different forum, and specifically ask people to PM you with suggestions.

If I run across anything, I'll let you know.

I wish my family would look into this stuff!  Right now I'm not handling having to instruct every member of the family on this stuff to well.  Especially since I am still learning myself ironically.

But yeh, understand.  I got asked the same question.  Only in my case with my father, being Trans is just Like being Gay/Lesbian and both are bad to him.  Can't tell him any different either.  Sighs.

Bleah....Unfortunately (for me) I think you're right Arch. I've stopped trying to do the "parents of transgender" google searches and instead I just did a transgender forum search. There is nothing out there that is as organized, easy to use, informational, with helpful people as Susan's. (Go Susan's!)

If she came to Susan's it would be much easier for her to use (jesus, she doesn't even know how to text message, or use youtube, let alone a forum). So she needs something that's as organized and simple as this place.


I guess I might have to block my blog off for now and stuff
