Letters like these have to be put out to the media for publication, and not just at right of center news outlets. This story is being repeated, and most people don't know about it or get it, because they are not affected. It could be my story, except my child only briefly flirted with being non binary. I only found out when I saw her report card. It was shocking, and horrifying - and when I spoke up to the head of school, they simply dismissed my concerns. Like the author of this piece, I live in an extremely liberal town, and I'm sure the school felt I was merely transphobic. We parents know our kids best and unless the child has been identifying this way since a very young age, they are simply succumbing to the latest fad. Are these schools paying for the therapy most of these kids really need? I had to do research on the issue in a culture where most of the research out there says you must affirm and accept. Only when I had all the counter arguments pro and con could I debate with my 16 yo. Only by speaking her language could I convince her that this was not her path. The lawsuits need to start flying. In order to protect the truly gender dysphoric, we have opened up Pandora's Box.
