Washington (CNN)Rep. Mike Honda this week became one of the first lawmakers in Congress to support the idea of a gender spectrum and publicly announce a family member, his granddaughter, is transgender.
The California Democrat urged acceptance of transgender individuals in a profile of his 8-year-old granddaughter Malisa, who was born a boy, in the San Jose Mercury News.

People may say, "It's just a phase or they'll grow out of it," Honda told the paper.
"But we have to be a little bit more in tune with what youngsters are telling us. From there we can develop better solutions, be more thoughtful," he added.
The congressman, who is a member of the House LGBTQ caucus, hadn't publicly spoken about his granddaughter's transition until recently.
He had the family take a new photo for his campaign materials last cycle to reflect his granddaughter's new identity, telling Malisa that "we need you to be who you are in the campaign photos."
On Wednesday, he brought it to wider attention with a tweet saying he's the "proud grandpa of a transgender grandchild."

Wonder if the idiot has any heterosexual grandchildren and whether he ever tweeted support for them.
As my old physiology professor observed: Biology is biology; everything else is imagination.
She’d probably be run out of town these days.
America! The Land of the Freaks!
Noop, It is the poison in the air and water of the culture. We have gone thru the looking glass.
So basically he has a grandson who wears dresses.
>>Why the explosion of gender dysphoria cases now? Hormones in poultry and cattle? Chemtrails? ISIS poisoned our water? What???<<
Read Romans I, it explains it pretty well:
“For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.
Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. . .
Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.”
If a little girl wants to be outside playing with bugs, she must secretly want to be a boy.
A small child wants to be a small child, that's all. It is the adults that are trying to assign sexual categories to them when the child has no idea what they want to be and they are only beginning to experience the world.
This so called father needs to step down from his job and raise their kid. The kid is obviously going through some mental illness and instead of just saying acceptance then maybe he needs to help the poor child.
“San Jose Mercury News”
I rest my case, your honor.
They are all certifiable.
But you see, you’re paying attention to God’s design. Now that government is God, that’s obsolete, doncha know?
do a google search, they WANT to make kids go tranny as YOUNG AS POSSIBLE, its not just a newspaper
Any doctor who started hormone treatment for sex reassignment on an 8 yr. old should have his/her license lifted.
What a sick society we have today.
Obama been mesmerizin’ the young-uns
Is he trying for the soon to be open Senate seat and destroying his granddaughter to make that political statement? Liberals disgust me. He should let his grandson behave however the little boy wants but not trick the poor kid into thinking pretend play is real. Child sacrifice has been out of style for too long to come back in. I hope.
In a sane world, Honda and the little boy’s parents would be charged with emotionally abusing a child...
An 8 year old boy who may have shown some interest in some “girl stuff” and is now being treated as if he is a girl?
Dear God, why isn’t this abuse being reported as the child abuse it is?
OMG,8 years old?
What kind of ghoul doctors would do these procedures on a child? I hope before the inevitable mental illness sets in this girl will sue the hell out of her parents and their Dr. Mengle protégés.
It’ll just embolden them.
“as young as possible” is the perv motto
