Elon Musk’s estranged relationship with his transgender daughter exposes a dark trend of familial divide in the age of anti-trans politics (msn.com)
This is a curious article. Elon Musk's 'daughter' who was born male, objects strongly towards her fathers version of events. According to the Daughter Elon Musk has absolutely no right at all to be upset or unhappy at feeling as if he had lost his son.
Why doesnt a mother or father have any rights in this?
As a parent it must hurt to lose a child. any child. It must hurt to lose contact via divorce or similar, it must hurt to lose a child, when and if they reinvent themselves into a different gender or different identity. Musk said how much it hurt for his son to give up and change his dead name, otherwise known as his birth name.
Why do the rights of the child completely over rule the rights of the parents to have feelings and make a comment?
I know it must be tricky....and there are cases where privacy is important... but surely parents have rights as well? its not just a one way street.
