I don’t know why I was born transgender, but I have no secret agenda. I want my child to live in a world where they are safe and free to be exactly who they are.

Fewer than 1 in 3 people report personally knowing someone who is transgender. Yet the American public is saturated with viral social media videos and political news stories, largely generated by a well-funded coalition of organizations long dedicated to making it as difficult as possible for LGBTQ+ people to go about their daily lives.

These organizations proudly advocate for the abuse of LGBTQ+ young people through the dangerous and discredited practice of conversion therapy, and they have celebrated their role in influencing Texas to “investigate” parents who’re doing their level best to support their transgender kids.

They’ve succeeded in generating national debates about excluding transgender kids from school sports, banning medically necessary health care and even prohibiting restroom usage – all under a guise of “protecting young people.” But these debates are largely missing the point.

Transgender people are our friends, family members and neighbors. They work in the cubicle next to us at the office, and they pray next to us in our houses of worship.

  • I try take all my discussions seriously until other people stop taking arguments seriously. U never even attempted to engage in good faith. You are without a doubt a hypocritical cunt who is clearly incapable of engaging with anyone u disagree with in a manner that is civil and productive. I’m not sure if you just refuse to think about other peoples opinions or beliefs or if you are just so mentally weak u can’t handle someone disagreeing with you without going into a fit of rage that someone dare not see you as the centre of the fucking universe.
