[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is really zero big deal.

I have a very, very close and dear friend whose young teen child (born girl, identifies as male/non)--an extremely lovely, smart, and wonderful kid--who, IMO, should pee wherever the heck they feel is right.  Luckily they're growing up in a very accepting household and community. My friend is most nervous about the future, venturing in to college and so on.  We know the statistics on violence and suicide are quite high for this group. :(

My daughter met a cashier at Staples the other day who was probably born male, I referred to her as "he," and she corrected me: "She." I said, "Yes, pardon me, 'she'." My daughter asked, "Wait, are you a girl?" And the person behind the register said, "Yes, very much that's I feel deep down inside. How about you?" My daughter said, "I feel like I'm a girl." The cashier said, "Cool" and they fist bumped. And so it goes... My kid's eight, so if she can roll with it...  :D

If history is any guide, we will become less and less uptight and hateful as time goes on. Stand up for these folks.  They could use more support and acceptance.[/quote]

And today, I feel like a duck. Does that make me a duck?[/quote]

I assure you, ducks would not care. [/quote]

No. But I guarantee that when I'm standing in line behind you at the bank or sitting next to you and your kids at a restaurant, dressed in my feathers and quacking through my meal, you will think I either a) lost a bet or b) accepted a wild dare or c) am downright crazy. Just because I identify as a duck does not make me one [/quote]
