The Essence of: Gender Identity Talk and Parenting anxious to LGBTQ

The purpose of writing this blog is to provide transgender individuals, the LGBT community, and straight people, particularly parents who are anxious about discussing these issues with their children, an opportunity to understand each other positively and to express their viewpoints.

The first thing to recognize is that we all have a role to play, and our actions will impact future generations.

I need to take steps to reduce resentment and hatred in the future so that we can move forward with love. This is only achievable when we see one another through the eyes of love, understand each other’s freedom, and accept it.

While adults have the personal right to live their lives as they wish and make their own decisions, both good and bad, we must avoid actions that negatively affect children. We should educate them to clearly differentiate between good and bad and view the whole picture as just that. This understanding will not only affect individuals but will resonate with all humanity.

An example of this is someone who smokes cigarettes, claiming that smoking is a benign act. In reality, it is harmful to health, and a conscious choice is still a choice that carries weight.

Another person may argue that smoking is acceptable for them, but whether it is viewed as good or bad remains subjective. Ultimately, you can form your own opinion about both individuals; in my view, the first person’s stance is more reasonable.

Many criticise the LGBT community because people support actions that, when expressed openly, can lead to feelings of shame. There are aspects of human life, such as using the restroom or engaging in intimate relationships, that are best kept private. These activities are acceptable within the confines of one’s home but become inappropriate when expressed publicly, especially in the presence of children. 

This brings us to the point that heterosexual behavior also occurs in private, but both are judged similarly. In European countries, some young people openly display their affection in public, adopting various styles, but it is understood that such expressions should remain within private spaces. Parents, especially of young children, worry about these conduct displays, interpreting them as detrimental to their children’s understanding of human nature. Just as smoking cigarettes or drinking alcohol are personal choices, the implications of such public displays can also lead to negative perceptions of individual freedoms.
