I Won’t Accept My Son as a Woman

Most parents' greatest wish for their children is to be happy and healthy. But Angela says she disagrees with her adult child’s lifestyle. She wrote to Dr. Phil because she says she is not happy with her child’s gender identity. She says she cannot accept that her adult child, who was born male, wants to dress like a woman. Angela says her child, who identifies as Jaybies, is disrespectful and a bad influence on her 16-year-old daughter. But Jaybies says Angela is the one with the issue. She says she’s been different her entire life, and her mom pushes her conservative beliefs on everyone.
