As liberal third rails go, this was even-handedish. There was some reference to "right-wing" and that sort of thing, but I think the left realizes it's a bridge too far...now what happens next? Get your popcorn.

When I was a kid, I thought I was Zorro and Davy Crockett. Both men, like me.

What used to be called “going through a phase”

When I went to high school back in the ‘80s, there was this boy that sometimes wore ribbons in his hair. His good female friend, always said he was gay. I guess after high school, he had a born again experience, and later got married to a woman. I guess recently he died in an accident, but you never know

It is better to accept what you are, than forcing others to accept what you are not.

The real threat to transgender people comes from Republicans who wish to deny them rights and protections.

The article was mostly even-handed, but I guess the author couldn't completely omit attacking the right.

Those who would prefer for people who think they are gender-confused to go through actual psychoanalysis and therapy to discern their true problems are not denying them rights and protection. They are, in fact, protecting the rights of mentally ill people. Those who push a kid who suddenly claims that he/she "identifies" as the opposite gender into "gender-affirming care" are the ones who are trampling on the kid's rights. And those who "transition" young children based on a parent's claim that the child "identifies" as the other gender are even worse.

It is good to see that there is push back against the "transgender" ideology across the political spectrum. Maybe one day, treating the mental health issues will become a priority over mutilating the body.

No one IS trans. Delusions don’t count in the real world.

Maybe they’re getting their socks sued off?

Actually I just read a tragic story about a little 10 yr old girl in Washington state whose parents had to flee with her to India (their native country) because her fourth grade teacher was trying to “transition” her secretly and this state was supporting it.

Here in Florida, De Santis prevents it, thank God.

I met a trans last weekend. Boy to girl. I was interviewing teenagers for a summer program. He seemed comfortable acting like a girl, or kind of neutral. But what really struck me was that this young person seemed autistic to me. Gender transition does not help that. I am mortified to think that when this young man attains his full height, which could be well over 6 feet since he’s part danish, and his shoulders, which are already very square, broaden out to their full extent, he is going to regret how much he has maimed and contorted his body. And the complications this presents in a summer program with overnight stay are really off-putting. I really like this kid. But I am furious at his parents and the school and medical system that has maimed him before he has had a chance to grow up.
I do not know how I will handle meeting the parents again. I will pray on it.

"Reading about transgender people online, Powell believed that the reason she didn’t feel comfortable in her body was that she was in the wrong body. Transitioning seemed like the obvious solution. The narrative she had heard and absorbed was that if you don’t transition, you’ll kill yourself."

See, plenty of choices...

“I felt so detached from my body, and the way it was developing felt hostile to me,”

She mistook not wanting to be a girl for wanting to be a boy. Poor thing.

I just read about this NYT article at Twitchy. I hope the article is available to read for non-subscribers.
