Conservatives: if you had a child who came out as transgender, how would you react?

[RFayette 🇻🇦]

Were I in this situation, I would urge my child that this form of self-identification is wrong and deeply unwise.  I would seek to explain that his sense of incongruity with his own created sex is a result of original sin (in interaction with current social pressures/assumptions) but does not mean that one is fundamentally the opposite gender.  I would continue to love him and pray for him, but I would never condone the sinful LGBT lifestyle, nor would I allow any kind of steps toward medical transition including puberty blockers so long as he is under my roof.
