The empathetic mom. If you bring up the issue of the sudden increase in so-called "trans" children and teens, she will describe (with some glee) her typical young teenage son, laughing at how much he obviously loves girls. She will then tell you about her friend with the "trans child," explaining how important it is that we honor this child's true identity and respect "her" mother's decision to call her son a girl because "she's" obviously quite feminine at heart, in sharp contrast to this mom's totally gender-conforming son. You will see the discomfort in her eyes when you question whether this child is in fact a girl or simply a non-conforming boy who might just grow up gay, but she will desperately wriggle out of the discussion at this point. If you keep talking, she'll stop you to ask how you would help all these "trans" kids and teens avoid being upset with their bodies, because we can't just let them be uncomfortable! How do you recognize her? She's wearing a cotton dress, Tom's shoes, and carrying a custom-made Yeti bottle with "Best Mom" on it.
Funny to read this as I know the place well. Curious if you are witnessing other GC voices (especially from parents or adults that shop at the coop or may live in Bklyn or any of the boroughs? Wondering when or if PS/Bkn/NYC will start to explore a change in heart with regards to all of this evidenced based info. being presented.
To whomever wrote this - If you know of any parents or adults interested or managing this issue who might be working in the field or parenting young adults or older teens, and who might be questioning the GAC model and Gender Ideology in general, can you circle back to me here? Maybe they would like to connect with other local, like minded adults.
Subscribe to Lisa Selin Davis. She hosts NYC meetups sometimes. Otherwise, I know a lot of parents who are low-key skeptical of gender ideology but don't want to put themselves out there.

As a straight White middle-aged conservative man, I consider it my duty to do everything I can to offend the woke scum as much as possible.
