I'm trying to find people to talk to. I'm not trying to push any opinion or agenda. My child is having issues. I don't believe that just affirming them will solve their deep rooted problems, but I'm willing to have a back and forth with people who have had both success and failure with that approach. I want a place where I can speak honesty and not have people start calling me dishonest or saying I have some agenda or I'm trying to push some kind of politics.
I guess I'm looking for a sort of Alanon type environment, where people can share their experiences without judgement. I don't mind if someone says they think I'm wrong and are willing to share their experience to back up their statement. I actually would welcome it.
If I were looking for confirmation bias, then that would be easy. What I'm looking for is a real and honest discussion with people who have dealt with this issue, both personally and professionally.
We've done that, and all I get is just them pushing them more forward than they even want. I'm looking for a different place that is more focused on healing (and I mean that for both my child, and for my family) rather than just pushing the "in" thing.
My child has other issues and I believe that this medical facility is just ignoring them and trying to push their gender dysphoria forward without regard to the other, underlying issues.
I know it's a political hot potato, and the macro seems to outweigh the micro. People have their ideas they want to push, but I'm looking for people who have found solutions rather than trying to push their agenda.
That site wants you to register. I'm really looking for an anonymous community, on Lemmy or possibly somewhere else, where people are free to discuss successes and failures in their own families without the fear of people bringing politics into it and trying to accuse them of hate. I've already gotten plenty of that with this post, and it's very discouraging.
