You know, since I wrote that article I’ve become a foster parent. I take child abuse and child endangerment incredibly seriously, and I must say I don’t particularly appreciate it being thrown around casually in the discussion of trans issues.

People who love their kids and are trying to genuinely do the right thing by them shouldn’t be lightly tarred with the child abuse brush. On either side, I hasten to add. Parenting isn’t easy.
