children who are transgender should be allowed to use the bathroom and locker room of the gender with which they identify, rather than the gender normally associated with their genitals, yes.

at what age do you think it would be acceptable or believable for a person to transition genders?

i highly recommend listening to the episode of This American Life called Somewhere Out There, which includes a story about two transgender little girls and their parents. it really helped me understand this issue, from both the kids' and parents' perspective.

i think it becomes a question of separate but equal in that case - sending her elsewhere because she is different isn't right. furthermore, defining a person's (especially a child's) gender solely or even initially by their genitals is dangerous. i wouldn't stop being a woman if my vulva were destroyed in an…

I WAS GONNA SAY THETANS!!

can i just say that i aspire to one day be able to speak (write? whatever.) in the beautifully measured, balanced tone that you do? i'm honestly in awe of your comments 99% of the time. hearts and stars.

Because fat people don't hate you, or wish you ill; we're not your enemy. You are your enemy.

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO DOURTNEY?!
