Gary, I’m sobbing reading your essay. I’m sad for what you are having to endure and the hate I know you will get for speaking out this way. I’m sad that a company I’ve long respected has taken such a horrifying turn. I’m sad that LGB rights and positioning in society have been co-opted and eclipsed by this movement. I am

sad that my beautiful teenage girl fell prey to this four years ago and that I am called hateful and transphobic for not affirming something I believe is dangerous and divisive. I am sad that she will likely cut her breasts off as soon as she is out of our house. I am sad that the political party I’ve spent my life supporting is now encouraging healthy young bodies to be pumped full of drugs to stop normal development and fast track them to permanent surgeries. I’m sad women’s sports will no longer be women’s sports.

I celebrated when gay marriage became legal. I never thought that we would end up here. Thank you so much for writing this. It’s everything I think and feel as a female, a parent, a GenXer, a human. I will be forever grateful for you speaking out.

Thank you for saying so very well everything I have been thinking and feeling for a while. It's time we regrouped with those of us who feel the same, and restore some sanity.
