unfortunately, this will also make some young LGB feel like they have to transition to exist or get attention. I respect E. Page's choice, but this is terrible from a community standpoint.

If people being stupid makes you want to do stupid things to get attention, then you're well beyond salvation anyway. Plenty of people grew up without good role models.

Kids are stupid. Adults are responsible for their own mistakes, but I can't blame gay kids with internalized homophobia who get brainwashed and physically harmed before they can know their own minds.

Some kids are stupid, and most of those stupid kids grow up to be stupid adults. It's not a matter of blame, but one of practicality. Things have always been harder for gay children- being able to stand on your own and draw your own boundaries is a necessity.

Yeah itll probably get worse before it gets better. It’s really sad what this thing is doing to women, and she is such a role model in the LGB world. I feel sad as a gnc L myself, to lose another to this pernicious gender stuff. Oh well!

The thing to remember is that at the end of the day people just want connection. They will do whatever they feel it takes to get it.
