[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 698996, member: 18958"] I just hate that she said this. I am ashamed that a mental health professional would say such a thing. I know she is your close friend but what she said was judgmental, superior and hurtful. That is what I really think. This is why I fear so much going to mental health professionals. Really. You know, I am thinking now about the election and the so called "dog whistles" trying to undermine one of the candidates based upon gender. Volatility. Unbalanced. Unstable. I am not making a political statement here. I am saying that it is dangerous in our society, it seems, to be human. Because humans have gender. They have genes. They have heredity and histories. They have medical conditions. Feeling. I do not judge you. And I do not judge them. Neither the parents or the school personnel. But I do not believe you would be so hurtful and short-sighted even if it were your sons. Nor would I. I had to keep secret from my sister that my son had been found to have Hep B (acquired at birth) and that his birth parents had Aids Related Complex--because I knew she would never allow him near her children. I do not forgive this within a family. I understand it but I do not forgive it. My attitude is: in a family we die together, if we die at all. Better that than letting fear kills us off, separately.
