Then stay out of it. I don't think your ill-informed opinion is helping this discussion in any way.
It is pretty obvious that I was saying that turf3's whiny attempt to rewrite 6000 years of science wasn't my problem, but if you want to join him in rewriting science and disregarding everything know to mankind for all of history, be my guest.
Well, I don't know what was "whiny" about pointing out that trans people have a tough row to hoe and suggesting that compassion might be a better approach than scorn and "reprogramming". As a hetero male, clearly male and clearly hetero, married (to a woman) for over 30 years, I have no dog in this hunt except general human concern for others.
To the OP: I would not suggest rural living for someone with a trans child, not at this point in history. Someday, maybe, but for now it's probably not a good idea.
I have an middle school aged child who recently came out as transgender. I am very liberal but love living in the country. Generally, I get along with people regardless of political views, however, I do not like my kids being raised around ppl who are not tolerant of other races, religions, etc. I am concerned about raising my transgender child in a place that would be accepting. People keep telling me to move to a city, but I love the country. Does anyone know of any more rural areas with schools with GSAs where families and students would be accepting and not treat my child as "other"? I am open to more suburban areas I guess if I can get a large plot of land for relatively cheap and there are horse stables, hiking trails, and lakes (or oceans) near by. Thanks!
You might try the countryside within 30 miles of Madison, WI. It is the most progressive/liberal rural area in the midwest and one of the most liberal in America. Another option is Ulster County in NY or rural New England.
