Robert Smart | 38 comments So I saw this news story the other day:

https://www.yahoo.com/news/oklahoma-s...

It is getting a bit tiring to me to keep seeing the flat out ingnorance of others who refuse to step outside of their personal bubble and look from the outside in, instead of from the inside out. The amount of childishness and unwillingness to listen for one second and attempt to see from the standpoint of another person and attempt to understand that persons feelings or try to see where they are coming from is just disgusting especially when it comes from adults who should in most instances be able to know better than to stoop to the level of bullying and threatening a child because they identify as a transgender female. All I can hope is that soon Trump will be voted out of office and the people who feel emboldened by his ridiculousness will crawl back under the rock they came from.

Holly (goldikova) I was four years old the first time I met a transgender person; so I guess I just grew up thinking it was pretty normal.

Considering trans population is what ... 1-3% of the population... You're one of the lucky few who can say that. I was in my thirties before I met a member of this community. Though that's not to say someone didn't cross my path beforehand...but was I aware?

I have met the first transgender person shortly after I graduated High School.
Very brave people, Keith...

Makes one understand why people say we need PRIDE.
