Washington (CNN)Rep. Mike Honda this week became one of the first lawmakers in Congress to support the idea of a gender spectrum and publicly announce a family member, his granddaughter, is transgender.
The California Democrat urged acceptance of transgender individuals in a profile of his 8-year-old granddaughter Malisa, who was born a boy, in the San Jose Mercury News.

People may say, "It's just a phase or they'll grow out of it," Honda told the paper.
"But we have to be a little bit more in tune with what youngsters are telling us. From there we can develop better solutions, be more thoughtful," he added.
The congressman, who is a member of the House LGBTQ caucus, hadn't publicly spoken about his granddaughter's transition until recently.
He had the family take a new photo for his campaign materials last cycle to reflect his granddaughter's new identity, telling Malisa that "we need you to be who you are in the campaign photos."
On Wednesday, he brought it to wider attention with a tweet saying he's the "proud grandpa of a transgender grandchild."

There, fixed that.
He says, “I wanted to be a boy”, NOT “I AM a boy.” Pure mental torture. Plus, they’re pushing to change their birth certificates without gender sex change surgery (although they call it gender affirmation surgery now). That way, they can force us to play along with their mental illness, but never have to “prove” they’re transgendered.
I read some article on supposed brain changes in so-called transgendered, but I doubt it’s true.
I think it's all the crap they pump into the food they eat. Faggotry an ADD/ADHD etc has exploded the last decade or so, Back in the day a swift beating from mom or pops cured some of this madness.
Well, it is something causing it.
Good point.
Yet another study shows: Birth control is reducing the fish population for generations
And humans?
You're seeing it now.
Well, something is happening. It isn’t normal.

Oh. Kah. Stopped reading right there.
Dollinck! I'm verklempt from laughing!
So true. And California is one of the states that has banned by law any sexual reparation therapy on minors.
Yep. All you need to know.
Telling an 8 year old that they are transgendered is tantamount to child abuse IMO.
I know, right? When our kid was 11, he believed one of our cats was "African-American" because her fur was brown and black. (Which was fine with us, btw. But if he had said she was a male, there would have been a teachable moment.)
The old CSI Miami series did a crime-solving show on this, where they were looking for a person of one sex according to DNA, but when they finally did find the perp, he or she was the other sex.
My point was not moral revulsion, but that DNA doesn’t change when a person has sex-reassignment surgery. The entire charade is an exercise in futility.
