Meet Ryland, a 6-year-old transgender kid from San Diego, and the people who accepted him — his parents.
Jeff and Hillary Whittington uploaded their family's YouTube video, titled "Ryland's Story," Tuesday, and it is already approaching 400,000 views thanks to boosts by media outlets worldwide. It tells the emotional story of how the Whittingtons embraced their child's transition and was first shown on May 22 before the family received the Inspiration Award at San Diego's annual Harvey Milk Diversity Breakfast.
That day, the San Diego LGBT Weekly carried this quote from Jeff Whittington about the video: “One of the most inspiring things that Harvey Milk had done as far as our family is concerned was to encourage people to come out, to let their voices be heard; break down the walls, break down the barriers and start allowing people to see them for their authentic selves and be true to themselves, and this is our coming out … this is us making our voices heard …”
At the six-minute mark, you’ll see and hear Ryland at the podium.
He says this: "My name is Ryland Michael Whittington. I’m a transgender kid....
"I am six. I’m a cool kid....
"I’m the happiest I’ve been in my whole life. Thank you to my parents….
"Thank you to Harvey Milk for helping the world be a better place.”
Child abuse...pure and simple.
awwww, she’s a cute little girl.
Did you even read one line of the article. HellOOOO, SHE is a GIRL. Little “Ryland” has a hoo-ha, not a teeny weeny peeny
well, that being said, *I* didn’t read it to the end, so.....
The comments make me sick. Lowlife progressive vermin scum. Every one allowed to be shown LOVE it.
CHILD ABUSE
My son wanted to be a giraffe. I guess I should have had his neck stretched.
My son wanted to be an ancient Egyptian.
NO CLUE how to make that happen.
Jesus, please come soon. Seriously.
Transgender means this kid is post-op. Is that even legal?
Is a manufactured “hoo-ha” functional? Will the canal get deeper and wider as the kid grows or will she have to bet a correction every year or so?
My granddaughter said she wanted to be a boy last year. Thanks goodness, she didn’t have these parents. This year she is perfectly happy being a girl.
I guess these parents never heard of “Tomboy”.
That in and of itself isn't so hard. I hope she comes to that realization very soon.
Well then before the addadictomy operation...
Any doctor who disfigures a child should be held down and transgendered, without anesthesia.
Child abuse.
In most journalism, “transgendered” means dressing as the opposite sex. “Transsexual” means surgically altered
