LGBT+ Rights

[Thank you for being a friend...]

Trans is still very new in the world of rights advocacy.  The gay rights movement has had 50+ years at least nationally to develop itself, and I seriously doubt anyone who identified as a conservative in 1969 would have supported the gay rights that you support now.  

Gay rights in 1969 was considered extremely radical.  It was a direct challenge to all of the social and cultural values that conservatives at the time held.  Not even most liberals and Democrats supported the concept of it.

So it's expected that people are really hostile to the entire idea of trans people, especially now more than they were in the previous 10 years due to the huge increase in coverage that it has been getting nationally.

I very strongly believe it is a matter of science and that it has to do with the fetal development of the baby's brain.  I do not believe that these trans kids are any different than other kids - I feel they simply want to live in accordance with the sex of their brain, which should be a human right for these children.

Being "gay" is more about who you love.

Being "trans" is more about brain sex, and the science is slowly emerging about it.  It will take time for it to be explored the way that it needs to be.  Until then, I suggest to people to hold off of the barrage of judgments about it.

It makes perfect biological sense that there would be a small minority of babies that do not develop the way most other babies develop.

I believe about 0.5% of all childbirths are part of this community.

I feel conservatives are exaggerating the size of the trans community.  It is not nearly as large as the gay community, so it is much more vulnerable to attack.
