    Looking back over my son’s high school experience and how it contributed to him thinking he is a girl. How could staff have helped him maintain a grip on reality? Here’s what I would have said to them, had I not been written off as an abusive parent: (1/8)

        To the GSA leader: This is not about you! This is not about you being cool and popular. Teach history of gay rights, show films like “Gender Troubles: The Butches”. Build community where kids talk about real fears and challenges. (2/8)

        To the Biology teacher: You represent reality. Talk about puberty. Talk about the physical and mental changes kids experience and the wrench that can throw into their idyllic childhood lives. Normalize the awkwardness and the angst. Show them WHY they struggle right now. (3/8)

        To the school nurse: Talk to them about exercise and screen time and nutrition. Teach them ways to feel better, or cope, naturally. Stop wrapping kids in the trans flag when they come to you. Tell them to talk to their parents; that their parents were once kids, too. (4/8)

        To the principal: Stand up to policies that are driven by ideology. Don’t host assemblies about transition fixing everything, or suicides of gender confused kids. Do your research. Stand up for your staff who question this movement. (5/8)

        To the guidance counselor: I know you’re busy. You’re overstretched and likely quite bothered by the things you hear. But just listen! Transitioning a student might get them off your caseload, but it puts them on someone else’s. Help them see where these thoughts come from. (6/8)

        To the teacher my child confides in: Talk to me. Tell me my child is suffering. Work with me to help. Don’t shut me out. You’re an expert in your subject matter, but I’m an expert on my child. If we both want what’s best for my child, then let’s collaborate to help. (7/8)

        School staff have incredibly powerful influence on our children. They care about kids. They’re often driven to teach because of their own adolescent experiences. Reach out to them! They are doing what they’re told. Give them another perspective. (8/8)

        Congress needs to prohibit (rule out) male pregnancy and female impregnation and end gay marriage. Schools need to teach that only girls have the right to be pregnant.

        I fully support gay marriage. Trans issues have zero to do with LGB. If it was easier for people to be LGB, some of these kids wouldn’t choose T.
