I would still love my daughter. I'd sure miss her, but I would love her from a great distance. And if I believed any of this was even remotely possible, why would she have a fully funded college account and a trust fund set up?

Ah, how heartwarming. Some more of that Christian unconditional love dripping from this post. <3
Thank you. I understand exactly what you are saying - and how it must hurt. It is indeed very scary to watch and know there is little to nothing you can do to help. My heart goes out to you .. been there, done that. May time bring you all some peace.
I am saddened that so many here seem to have ignored the question (which I thought was just a statement that you could/would/would not/etc. accept a child who declared they were not heterosexual) and chose just to attack people who were nice enough to give honest answers. I certainly didn't understand that to be the purpose of this thread at all - to convert those who see things differently for their own reasons .. and certainly not to attack those who are going through really tough times as they watch loved ones struggle with these issues. How unfriendly of those of you who would do that!
I cannot rep you again, but I wanted you to know that your thoughtful response is genuinely appreciated. Thank you for understanding!
If my son told me he was transgender I would accept him for who he felt he is. I may be confused, disappointed or even angry, but at the end of the day this is my child and I will always love my child. End of statement.
Exactly what I am dealing with although my child has claims to be non-binary but dresses up and wears makeup and demands the pronouns they/them be used when discussing they/them in 3rd person. Accepting being gay was a cake walk compared to this new chapter!

Yes, someone I know is in that same situation. She has known her daughter was gay since she was a teenager, but now as an adult, she is a "they/them". I didn't even know that was a thing until she explained it to me.
Unfortunately it is one of the major causes of teenage runaway. About a third of teenage runaways identify as gay.
Runaways and suicides.
One of my close friends came out in college and she attempted suicide soon after because her mother was extremely unsupportive at first. Unbelievably cold and dismissive. It's hard enough for some people to come to terms with being gay (some don't want to be and wish they weren't, some may have some of their own personal biases against it just because homophobia is still rather prevalent in society). They don't also need their own parents to be against it.

Yes, it is a whole new ballgame when it comes to the gender fluidity nonsense. THAT is where a parent's love is truly tested.
Nope. Please don't play the dumbass "are you saying...?" game as a vehicle to make it look as though I said something other than what I did. It's an immature and tiresome old trick.
Oh, and don't send me nasty insults under the guise of a rep comment. Do it again and you will be reported.
I didn't do either nor am I a dumbass. No need to call names. People can sign names to rep comments as they like, you know that right???
Now, no more excuses. I asked you a question so please answer. I will quote it again...

Are you saying two consenting adults cannot consent to do each other harm?
Because that seems to beEXACTLY what you are saying above^^^
And are now denying it.
