[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So who do you find to be a “legitimate” voice expressing concerns about transgender policies in schools?  Is there anyone speaking out who is acceptable to you?   It seems to me that you will label any opposition as phobic or hateful. [/quote]

I am getting tired of repeating myself.

1) The Arlington Parent Coalition lists on their web site "research" from right-wing political groups and think tanks, and repeatedly references the American College of Pediatricians which has been identified as a hate group, and widely debunked as a fringe organization designed to confuse people with the real American Academy of Pediatrics
2) The APC identifies itself as a "diverse group", e.g. representative of a wide range of parents, yet presents no evidence of membership other than the single individual frequently quoted in articles
3) The APC conducted a "survey" and presents it as evidence of the student body feeling a certain way, yet doesn't provide methodology for the survey, and 90 students is not statistically significant for a population of 28,000 anyway

A "legitimate" voice is

1) A person who speaks for themself, instead of pretending to speak for a lot of people
2) A person who doesn't use fake research to back up their position
3) A person who doesn't conduct fake surveys to back up their position

How hard is this to understand?[/quote]
