[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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 think any parent who stands up and takes personal accountability transparently in opposition should be listened to with respect. Hiding behind bullshit fake organizations and presenting flawed evidence in bad faith is not credible (and undermines any contention that your viewpoint is other than fringe, because otherwise you wouldn’t take such cowardly steps and would have more pride in your convictions.)[/quote]

Look at how you label any opposition as hateful and bigoted.  You’re not interested in a sincere conversation about parental concerns, and it’s easy to imagine that many parents would have a hard time standing up to such abuse.  Stand down with your rhetoric, and maybe you’ll hear from more legitimate community members. [/quote]

I didn’t label opposition hateful and bigoted. But I am not impressed with anonymous opposition. I want to know who I am arguing with. And I get suspicious when you hide behind easily discredited “evidence” and fake organizations deliberately named to sound like legitimate organizations. If you are so worried about being called hateful or bigoted if you speak out transparently, perhaps you should consider that your viewpoint truly is out of step with mainstream cultural values. And please don’t make the mistake of feeling persecuted— you are being attacked for what you say, not for who you are.[/quote]
