another tragic case of how an important concern can be twisted by politicians
and the media until all that is left is smog, and no one is helped.
Suggestions:
#1 Keep politics, the media, non-medical people, and others out of the transgender subject. Leave this concern with the individual!
It would seem that if an individual's gender was wrongly assigned at birth, that this is a private matter, the business of no one but the individual.
If a person's gender doesn't match his/her body, and so she/he has transitioned, who is going to know when she/he visits the restroom stall of her/his gender identity?
No one!
#2 Inform ourselves on the topic by reading scholarly articles, books, and by talking with a transgender individual IF she/he brings up the concern.
I am gradually learning about the concern, despite the media, politicians, social rumor, propaganda, and so much popular drivel.
Get our learning from scholarship, not from popular leaders.
I've read one good scholarly book on sexuality related to gender, same sexuality, etc. That's not nearly enough I realize. So I continue to learn and to seek to understand.
Personally, I don't know anyone who is transgender, at least no one who has identified thus. Hopefully, I will be able to discuss this with such an individual soon.
#3 Live in empathy, compassion, social concern, equality, and justice for all humans.
And keep seeking for what is true, what is just, what is right,
and what is good in the Light,
Daniel Wilcox
