I guess. Like, that's your flesh and blood; a person that took 9 months to create. You won't, in your heart of hearts, dismiss them because they want to change their exterior appearance. They are still your child at the end of the day.
Not the same (well kinda is) but it hurts when parents disown a child for coming out as gay/lesbian etc. because it clashes with their ******** religious practices (**** religion). Like, HOW can you look your child in the face and tell them you don't want any more contact with them because they like to **** differently than you?
