I think that this is great for civil rights supporters. I am not sure how i feel about an eight year old transgender person. I am not against it but I don't know if an eight year old has the right frame of mind to make such a very life changing decision. I like the post though.
ReplyDeleteI agree! It is always nice to see people supporting and trying to understand things like this.
