I’d love to discuss how gender is used as a tool, by Christian’s and republicans, to instill fear and anxiety into their followers. How the church says that gender ideology is dangerous to kids even though all evidence points to priests being actual pedophiles. How republicans want to protect kids from gender affirming care, even though gender affirming care has proven to decrease the suicide rates in trans kids. How republicans don’t really care about kids getting shot in schools (the number one cause of child death in America)because their precious guns are more important. Is my anxiety as a trans adult going to ever going to go away or will I be forced to watch my back for the rest of my life because republicans and Christians and more scared of me than the real dangers out there in the world.

Thank you for reading, and for your comments. I appreciate hearing your perspectives and experiences. I agree that the national debate about gender has gotten very heated, which has led to much stress for all involved in the discussion. I may address this topic at some point, though probably not in the immediate future (given that there are still major developments going on as we speak, and likely more to come soon).
