Awareness, laws help transgender youths flourish
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | August 16, 2013 | Ellen Huet

When Catherine Lee used to take her young child to the grocery store, other shoppers would often comment, "Oh, what a nice son you have, helping you pack the groceries."

She would sometimes just let it pass and exchange a glance with her kid. But other times, she would correct them: "Oh, no, this is my daughter, Kimberly."

"I tried to take him shopping to get girlier clothes, dress him in pink, help people understand he was a girl," Lee said.

But her child, now 16-year-old Ashton Zaine Lee, came out as transgender to his parents about two years ago, and Lee had to learn quickly that "this is it - this is my new reality."

Lee, a 46-year-old therapist from Manteca, is part of a growing group of parents navigating - sometimes at crash-course speed - the complexities of raising a transgender child.

The public schools in Tucson have showers, and students use them.

I watched a movie last week and in the end it was revealed the killer had been made to dress and be his dead sister
and that is what drove him over the edge.

That conversation is actually illegal in California, Mass and IIRC, NJ.

Someone correct me because I’m probably misremembering all the particular states where that very conversation is illegal now.

God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve.

There is no such thing as a genetic transgender, bisexual, homosexual or whatever. We were all born heterosexual. Any variation is a CHOICE by humanity.

Artie/chokes three for a dollar. Bwahahaha!

The fact is, some kids do it just to piss off their parents. If they want to be gay, great, but they have to make the choice to be infected by a multitude of diseases. A good friend of my family is a former gay stripper in New Orleans, and he contracted Hep C and a huge Ketamine addiction until he got “tired of the lifestyle.” Now he’s married to a woman.

The gay lifestyle frequently involves self-destruction.

And public schools almost never have students shower at school anymore and haven't for decades, due to the costs of the water and the staff needed to keep them running and clean, Hill said.

Is this true????

That's what I was wondering. I can't imagine a bunch of high school boys going from 40 minutes of physical education into a classroom without showering first.

Why do they need “staff” to keep their showers clean? The delicate little darlings can’t clean them themselves?

Sheesh.

Just let China have ca in exchange for all the U.S. treasury bonds they currently own.

Benefits:

- China gets prime real estate with a weak population that it can easily liquidate.

- ca gets the serfdom it wants.

- The US debt gets cut by a substantial amount.

- The Red States are relieved of their biggest economic and social burden.

It’s a win-win for everyone!

What I am aware of is transgender does not exist in nature or reality. It is a mental illness that is no longer allowed to be called a mental illness by the PC liberals.

Once upon a time in America people used to try to find a cure for mental illnesses and disorders. Now they enable them and sometime encourage it.

Society has gone to crap. And people wonder why I’m in such a crappy mood most of the time.
