[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am deeply saddened by Rowling’s essay, which unfortunately and ironically comes during pride month. In fact, I’m weeping as a write this. I have a wonderful, kind teen trans daughter. Rowling has no idea how hard it is for kids like mine.  Suicide and depression are significantly higher, and discrimination, even murder, is always a threat.  My daughter wouldn’t choose to be any gender other than the one she was physically born into if it was any kind of choice. It’s just not. She is a girl and that’s that. She is not a threat to women in any way, she just wants to be seen for what she knows in her soul to be - a girl.  Even as her mother I cannot claim to understand gender dysphoria, but I do know that I love my child no matter what and I hope she will be happy and safe. Please, for her sake, and the trans community, be compassionate. The struggles they face go far beyond whether a cis woman can’t deal with sharing a bathroom. [/quote]

This is pure hysteria. No one is saying your daughter shouldn't be supported. No one is advocating a lack of compassion. It is more than the bathroom issue and if you step away from reading only twitter posts maybe you would be more compassionate to JK. She does very much have an idea of how hard it is. No one is saying you shouldn't love you child. This is just crazy.[/quote]
