My husband and I are expecting our first baby. We are very excited, and we are both the eldest of our families so this will be a first grand baby for both of our parents.
Now my husband is completely gender critical. This is partly because he has a late in life AGP brother who is married to a much younger woman. (Whom he started grooming online when she was underage) Who is the stereotype, nerdy, chronically online and probably porn addicted. His family was quickly gaslit into the trans bullshit, luckily my husband sees through that and we see that sibling very sparingly when the whole family gets together.
Now this sibling is planning on having a baby via surrogate. Neither of us want anything to do with the entire nightmare. I think it’s wrong and even straight up evil and I worry that the child will be outright abused. We do our best to not comment on it at all whenever the subject is brought up.
Now that we’ve announced we’re expecting, his mother is quick to say “Oh yay! Your baby will have a cousin and we’ll have to get together often.”
I haven’t said anything out right yet, but my husband and I are committed to sheltering our future child from the trans nonsense. We’re even discussing home schooling with like minded parents if public school continues to get inundated with gender woo.
I want to be sensitive, but also I don’t give a shit about this sibling and weep for their horribly disadvantaged baby. And I don’t want any of that nonsense around my kid.
When do I put my foot down. Or say anything at all?
