Yeah, and I think what makes you so mad, I mean, I've talked to quite a few parents who've gone through this, and I just think it's so devastating.

I mean, I feel so, talking to Nicole, who wrote the story, just devastated for what she's gone through.

When parents have a child who, especially if they're an older teen, you know, that's already a period in a child's life where it can be, it's, they're leaving their family in a good way.

They're seeking their independence, so you already have to walk a fine line.

But then when

Children get involved in this, and then you pile on that.

In some states, children can emancipate themselves.

They can consent to their own gender, quote-unquote, gender-affirming care at a very young age.

So these parents are trying to walk this fine line of reaching out to their kids, telling them the truth, and then navigating a...

judicial system that's also being trained to be LGBTQ affirming.

And we didn't even get into that.

That's a whole nother thing.

So I think their stories often aren't told because it's something that's very difficult to speak about.

And it's a very tenuous situation to navigate.

So it really is heartbreaking.

And it's heartbreaking to think of how many more families might have been impacted by this had this plan been pushed through.

Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, I think that the people who have been radicalized with this are still going to be radical no matter who the president is.

And they're going to still be working towards fulfilling their mission no matter who the president is, unless they are stopped by actual laws.

So, I mean, I went and testified for a bill in Ohio that is aiming to clarify that affirming a child's sex is not an act of abuse.
