The amount of hate in the comments was crazy. Just because you don’t believe in it doesn’t give you the right to say nasty things about them. Not only did they have an issue with her being transgender but also because of her weight. Like who raised these people?
We had to have the whole non-binary conversation with our 8 year old after she encountered a coding project on her kid's site (Scratch) and she had questions. We were just open and honest with her.
We’ve also decided when our kids ask we will tell them things as openly as we can. What people don’t get is even if you don’t agree with someone’s life choices it doesn’t give you a right to be disrespectful. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but somethings you just should be quite about.
that's what we told her. That every being (who isn't just damaged and crazy) strives to live peacefully and with ease, and it must be very isolating to feel this way. And because we are Christian, we always come back to one major thing. The Gospel of Jesus. Not the bible, which has been written and translated (and often MIStranslated on purpose) by man, but what Jesus actually did and actually taught. He was pure love who was SO radical in his love for those on the edge of society that he was murdered for it. We try to understand and accept others who are trying to live their lives. It isn't our job to judge everyone. We worry about being the best people we can personally be and are kind to others. @icebergahead
I love this entire comment. I’ve said the same thing to some Christians I know and they have torn me a new one about my views.
Here is my deal. She, goes by she, identifies as a woman. We only know she is transgender because she has allowed us to know that information. So unless you’re running genetic tests, or having an intimate relationship with someone does it matter? No matter how you feel about it, is it that hard? If someone goes by a nickname and not their full name, do we fight them? No! Why fight someone in their pronouns and gender identity?
I agree. My 97 year old grandmother says all the time that the government needs to stay out of people's bedrooms.
@kesh-kesh I believe they're confused. Follow Jesus, not man. Jesus was very, very clear in his actions.
My dad, a white Catholic, said to me really well (I think) about 30 years ago when being openly gay was starting to be the norm. He said, "I have to be honest, I feel more comfortable with them in the closet. But I know I am wrong and no one should live in the dark to make me comfortable. I just have to adjust."
Thanks. So many people have made me doubt my way of thinking but this makes me feel so much better.
I just stick to what I know in my heart to be true and what has always been true. No one can budge me off of it. <3
I seriously hate people and how ignorant they are. What does it matter if she is transgender? She has the courage knowing the backlash she’d get to let us know her story and this is how she is treated? Makes me sick honestly! Good for her.
I mean I don’t see why it’s hate it’s common sense really ..like it don’t even know if it’s a girl or guy and they want this shit running the country confused gender ppl are not helping this world ppl can’t have this nutty ass shit forced on them it’s not normal 🤷🏼♀️
@mujerstillregal, it absolutely does affect me when they put that shit in schools ,news and all the other bs out there it’s unavoidable apparently can’t mind my business when they roam the streets and have gender bathrooms 🤣
it doesn't affect you, smh, you're quality of life won't be diminished because someone changes their gender. I mean, it won't improve your life either, but, wherever.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion but that doesn’t give anyone the right to bash her like that in comments. It was nasty and unnecessary. Being trans doesn’t make you incapable of being good at a job.
I hope she'll do a good job. I hope she will be able to tune out all the empty barrels and their noises and give citizens the best service

To me it doesn’t make her less qualified so it doesn’t matter.
