Mother sues trans 'daughter' because of 'daughter's' transition

I apologize in advance for the Jezebel link but I think the comments should be at least skimmed.

In Minnesota, a child can claim emancipation and parents do not have to give permission for medical treatment. The mother is claiming that she was never notified about the child's intention to be emancipated and (per the link) now the kid is going full trans including hormone 'therapy': “The news that county agencies and health service providers, the school and other county and state offices were completely bypassing me came as a total shock,” Calgaro said while beginning to cry. “Why wasn’t I even notified?”

Groups that preyed on young teen for $$$ and in attempt to gain power for their agenda were wrong.

If she never received the emancipation papers then yeah, the court fucked up.

Apparently this kid went off on his/her own at 15 and has been undergoing "permanent clinical treatment for transition to the new female gender" since then. The kid told authorities his mom kicked him/her out of the house, but the mom says otherwise.

I also question how good of an idea it is to have 15-year-olds be able to make this decision entirely on their own. They can't drive, can't drink, can't vote, can't serve in the armed forces, can't smoke, can't even legally skip a day of school, but they can agree to permanent treatment to change their gender?

There are so many serious issues here, I just don't even understand why the only concern Jezebel has is "misgendering" the kid. Actually, NBC's article is doing the same thing.

So much shit has gone down in the last few years that I cannot WAIT for the year, oh, 2023, when everyone is going to suddenly wake up and realize how unbearably STUPID they've been, and how fucked up things are, and how much work is going to be needed to un-fuck everything.

r10, there will be a shitstorm, because for most people trans = gay, and the fact that the Human Rights Campaign, GLAAD, Lambda Legal, etc., are supporting the trans bs will hurt us. Just as the Democrats are correctly attempting to clean house, we need to do the same with our organizations.

Lewd autogyn porn predatory behavior - a boy twerking, grinding, flashing, making crude personal comments, intimidating, humiliating and following girls, is, according to the alt-left translator, to be classified in Newspeak as "acting like a girl." Orwell never envisioned this. If he is said to be "enjoying the camaraderie of the locker room" how come no one else is enjoying it? He is enjoying his fetish, the abuse of power and putting smaller and more vulnerable kids in fear. He is given this power by the very system that should be stopping this.

The enabling of a clearly predatory male will likely increase his victim count, kids need limits, others need to be kept safe. Basic common sense.

He is another Dana Rivers in the making.

Top comment in r12's link:

As I detransitioner (former male-to-trans), I wish someone would have said “no” to my transition, or at least “wait”. Instead all I got was cheerleading, gaslighting, and false promises (lies) from medical professionals and legal advocacy groups.

R11, trans=anti-gay. The men become women and want to date men. The women become men and want to date other women. Gay is bad but trans is colorful.

The lot of you are so hateful against trans people. So quickly you forget how marginalized other minorities once were and still continue to be. But that's de rigueur for this place and its no-life trolls. The daughter can do whatever she wants, she's an adult.

The comments at this article are heartening. Think I'm going to adopt "voluntary castration and sterilization of children, in some places without parental knowledge" when talking about this issue.

The kid was 17. Just to be exact. I don't what the mother is hoping to accomplish? She hasn't had a relationship with the child for two years. She can't stop it, she only delay it by less than a year.

Wow, sterilization is not usually acknowledged in media.

Fact that many kids in gender clinics are on autism spectrum or have co-morbid mental health issues makes "advocates" driving wedges between teens and parents even more concerning.

The pics of Ash vary from quite sad to looking like ads for pedos, obsession with genitalia does not seem to serve kids well. The social isolation is exacerbated by transitioning it seems.

The kid was not 15 when the kid started the treatments. Not at all. The kid was 15 when she left the house. Who knows when, "all this started." What a stupid unthinking statement. Clearly there was tension between that kid and that parent long before the kid managed to leave.

Link, R28?

Wasn't MN the state where a 14 year old could get an elective double mastectomy (6 weeks recovery) without parental notice or consent, paid for by taxpayers?

Big pharma and unethical quacks are preying on kids, it is sick. Public $$$ needs to be cut off. That suicide rate increases after transition underscores the horrific nature of the whole industry.

She was fifteen when she was emancipated without her mother's knowledge. Whichever way you slice it that's too young to be making decisions with lifelong consequences.

I think the Trump presidency will finally allow for the split of Trans and Gay. People are starting to quickly drop the PC facade and will be more bold on things that seem outrageous- example Trans on minors.

The backlash is coming for the LGBT community and the moment powerful gays feel the burn of that backlash, they'll dump the Trans bregade in an instant.

by Anonymousreply 31November 19, 2016 6:43 PM

Ordinary people might lump T and gays but T is promoted by the powerful institutions of societies, worldwide. US military, drone manufacturers, academics, medicine, schools, media, etc.

Don't really see that changing R31. T is a Trojan horse for powerful interests.

The gayby boom of the 90s has morphed into widespread sterilizing of likely to be LG kids as well as kids on autism spectrum. It's chilling.

Their parents are brainwashed into being thrilled, then into selling the propaganda to others.

My heart goes out to that mom. She just got screwed hard. My advice would be to stand down and let the kid do what it wants. Mom can't change the kid's mind. Maybe they can have a relationship someday. But it's sad.

R28, you're the stupid one here.

The NBC article is clear: the kid had already transitioned by the end of 2015, when they were 16.

As for details, none of us know anything more than what the news articles say. But I think we can easily extrapolate that if the transitioning had completed by the time the teen was 16, then the treatments were begun when they were 15.

[quote]the number of rightwing stuff being linked in this thread is insane

Yeah, that's always the problem with this issue. You want to talk about the problems but you either have to go to a rightwing website which is vile and hateful, or a feminist website where people are insisting that trans is a mental illness, and they use asterisks in the word "gender" because "gender doesn't exist, man" and they spout some pretty crazy conspiracy theories themselves.

There's no middle ground. I used to try to participate in these threads but they would devolve into rightwing crazy every fucking time, then people would go running to other threads to ask why they were being "censored."
