[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Being transgender isn’t a trend.

Recognizing that trans people deserve the same respect afforded to others might be new to you, but it’s natural to most of us.[/quote]

I have a close friend who is transgender. My child's best friend is transgender. Two kids at my child's school are transgender. I wonder how many other trans folk are hiding still, which is sad.

My friend who is in his 50s, knew when he was a child that he'd been born into the wrong gender. He's a totally normal human being, smart, funny, accomplished, exactly the same person he was when he was forced to wear female clothing even though he felt in his soul for all of his childhood that he was a man. Luckily, he's a strong person, so he came out in his 20s and has been living very happily as the man he really is.

I think the "trend" is that people like my friend are no longer forced to hide their true gender identities. There really are not a lot of transgender people, it's just that we didn't see them because they were so afraid to reveal themselves. Bravo that they can come out of hiding now!
