@HebrideanHecate The lawmakers moaning about how this would negatively affect kids are so obnoxious. They don't think about the majority of girls at all. I have no love for the Rs and their delinquent president, but the Ds need to address their misogyny.
People calling you by the name and/or pronouns you don't like is not a crime.
Single sex spaces and services do not prevent any human being from using the restroom, playing sports, winning awards, getting decent medical care, finding shelter, etc. And if they are, it's probably due to an inequality other than "transphobia."
Sex markers on official documents are not there to make you feel good about yourself. They are there for the purposes of population data collection/analysis and resolving emergencies. Falsifying them is dangerous.
I know I'm just preaching to the choir here, but I needed to put these words somewhere.
@TriptychTwinsRidesAgain Ummm... there are sets that are marketed towards girls, but you... have free will and don't have to view them as "girls only sets"? Aside from that, lego has been one of the most gender neutral toys in the world.
File this under "everything is transphobia" and "curators had no good ideas."
@EatKnitSleepAgain@Sherri_Ingrey@ellepalmer1 My assumptions: The parents don't mind having a detrans daughter. The fact that she's speaking out against the progressive cause du jour and through "the wrong channels" is what bothers them. Good People™️ can't be associated with conservatives or their opinions in any way. It's not about the daughter, it's about the parents' image.

Jerrica makes artAs a child I read American Girl Magazine at my local library. They had a section for publishing letters from their readers, and there were many that said "my dream is to be the first woman president." I thought about those letters, those girls, a lot leading up to this election... and I'm thinking about it a lot now. Those girls were my age, we are all adult women now. Their goals have likely changed since then, but they have yet to see another woman succeed. And the young girls of today have yet to see a woman succeed.
This is all I can say about the election at this point.
