Debate rages on over transgender elementary school student in Stafford [Virginia]
Guess what the parents are upset about? Good guess.
You are correct.
They aren't upset about how this little girl is going to be treated by her classmates.
They don't care about the trauma she's being forced to put herself through, to do what other kids are doing simply: being herself.
It doesn't bother them that this is going to be expensive for the family, and involve shots and doctor visits and possible surgery.
The article begins:
A dispute over which school bathroom should be used by a transgender child in Stafford County is sparking calls for guidance from lawmakers in Richmond and has spilled over into the Virginia House speaker’s heated primary battle.
Further in:
“We have now opened the door for any predatory individual — student, teacher or anyone in between — within our school system to claim the gender identity to enter the restroom or locker room of the opposite sex to prey upon our children behind closed doors,” [Erick Kingston, a Fredericksburg parent] said,
So here's the question I want answered: how many instances of this actually exist?
This is the trans version of voter fraud: it doesn't exist, and people panic about it only to burden people they don't like.
And I'm sick of it. And I'm sick of the media reporting this as if it's an actual honest issue to worry about.
While I'm looking for answers, remember Indiana? If their new "religious freedom" law is not for discrimination against the LGBT community, what is it for? Governor Pence stated the antecedent but hasn't answered that question. No-one in the Indiana government has (except to say outright that it will allow Christians to not serve our people).
