Remember the girl who was raped in the school bathroom

Just out of curiosity, do you represent the rights of those that choose not to get vaccinations. After all, they are the current group to hate? There may be some that are weak and could use your ability to look out for others in the quest of equality? Thanks for taking the time to respond.

You’re welcome!

I only involve myself in issues I have some personal experience with or extensive knowledge of and as a rule I stay out of left/right partisan political discussions and manufactured culture wars. That’s why I read everything posted here but post infrequently.

I am not an SJW or an activist nor some radical left-wing liberal but because there is so much misinformation, misunderstanding, myth and outright lies about genuinely gender dysphoric youth, and as someone that dealt with this condition in childhood, I do feel the need for advocacy by trying to bring some of my own experiences and those of professionals dealing with this issue to the table for others to consider. Whether people want to change their minds or not is up to them but I feel some obligation to bring something other than the same regurgitated information to the discussion lest others fill their heads with only bias confirming discourse and bullshit.

I understand this issue is complicated, confusing and stirs strong emotion but very few people have ever known a genuine trans adult let alone a trans child or adolescent and the only way people are going to understand these things better is through information and education. I do what I can but it isn’t much.

FYI, other than maybe posting one or two random comments a year on a YouTube video, I post absolutely nothing anywhere else online except here and this is something I don’t get into with people in real life because only a very small number of people are even aware of my history and I prefer to keep it that way. I struggle with this sometimes and face issues with my own privilege of being invisible but that’s what has worked best for me for over fifty years and I’m not about to change it.

Also, I couldn’t really care less if you’re vaccinated or not!
