One in every 137 teens is transgender, according to a UCLA School of Law study published earlier this year.

Does the inside of the butterfly card say “It puts the lotion on its skin...?”

I don't think it's 'societal stigma' that is to blame for their mental anguish...

while I can’t blame Hallmark for wanting to cash in...

I can shake my head in disapproval over them being the top dog and lobbyist for creating useless holidays for them to sell their wares....

I wonder how many lobbyists Halmark has on K-Street lobbying for new stupid holidays....
