Let's stop the social negotiating of suggesting that some people might "really" be trans. One can be seriously emotionally troubled and yet highly intelligent and articulate, like Debbie Hayton or Buck Angel. It's like any other compulsion to harm oneself to relieve mental distress. It should be absolutely unacceptable among rational people to see the adulatory articles and photos of now-"Elliot" Page which reveal a profoundly-ill person showing off her mutilations.

We need to stop accepting the misuse of language. Gender refers only to language. Language is gendered; people are sexed. A person's private need to live as another sex doesn't require society to accept the issuing of fraudulent replacement birth certificates or participation in incorrect sex categories for sports etc. You wish to change your name? Fine; you may legally be called "Ethel" instead of "Ed" because that harms no one. But "Ethel" can't join the girls' track team.

There aren't harmless or kind lies. There are just lies.

I'm so very sorry to hear the heartbreaking story about your dear son. And I hope you'll soon be able to rescue him so he can get the care he needs to live life as a man. I also agree with you that protecting today's teens and young people from dangerous and aggressive transgender zealots should never have become a political issue.

Unfortunately, the very first thing President Biden did on the day he was inaugurated (and I voted for him) was issue an executive order to prevent" discrimination" on the basis of "gender identity." And when Biden's new four star admiral, "Rachel" Levine, declared himself a "female," that added insult to injury. These highly political acts of payback to the billionaire funded transgender activist crowd explains why transgender indoctrination is even worse now than it was when your son started college.

Like it or not, "transgenderism" has become a political issue. One thing we can do to make our gender critical voices heard this December is to donate money to the Women's Human Rights Campaign so they can send copies of Kara Dansky's powerful new book, "The Abolition of Sex: How the "Transgender" Agenda Harms Women and Girls." Every $12 donated will send one copy of this book to a member of Congress. I just made my donation, and I urge you all to do the same.

As long as the Democrats continue to kowtow to the AOC/extreme left wing of their party, I cannot and will not support them. If that means sitting out an election or even voting for the opposition, I will. But if you choose to work through the Democatic party,
