I might be too hopeful, but your words warrant a standing ovation. Or at the very least, a dumbfounded audience snapped out of their trance!

Excellent! Good for you! I hope your poem is read by millions around the world. Keep talking, keeping telling the truth, keep pushing back, and keep spreading the news about the trans lies. I am proud of you and hope you keep expressing yourself. Other kids need to hear you voice and read your words. Thank you!

This is wonderful! Thanks for gifting us with this powerful essay of truth and hope. Just imagine a line of PITT parents lining up to give you a great big hug as I’m sure I’m not the only one that would love to do just that.

Amazing that such a young mind can be so much more astute and articulate than a large number of well educated adults (who should know better!) I see evidence of a future hero in this essay. Keep up the good work!!

Especially the part about the reinforcement of gender stereotypes. Nobody talks about that.
