Dad of Transgender Daughter’s Gives a Moving Testimony Against a Transphobic School Sports Bill

“As a parent, the one thing we cannot do — the one thing — is silence our child’s spirit." 

PopSugar reports:

A Missouri father is getting national attention for his testimony during a state House of Representatives hearing, in which he implored lawmakers to vote against a bill, HJR 53, that would discriminate transgender youth.

Brandon Boulware, a parent to four children, spoke about his "wonderful and beautiful” transgender daughter and how he, like many others, had a difficult time accepting what made her different.

“My child was miserable,” he explained. “No confidence, no friends, no laughter. I can honestly say this — I had a child who did not smile.”

As soon as they allowed her to be her true self, she was a different child: “It was immediate, a total transformation … I now have a confident, smiling happy daughter. She plays on a girls’ volleyball team. She has friendships. She’s a kid.”

Ian McKellen  says that all gay people should be trans allies

Sir Ian McKellen urges gay people to be better allies to the transgender community.

The legendary actor and Stonewall co-founder joined It’s a Sin star Olly Alexander for a special LGBT+ History Month talk on TikTok on February 25, Pink News reports. 

Sir Ian said: 

“I do hear people – gay people – talk about transgender people in very much the same terms as people used to talk about your common or garden gay.

“The connection between us all is we come under the queer umbrella – we are queer. I quite like being queer actually.

“The problems that transgender people have with the law are not dissimilar from what used to be the case for us, so I think we should all be allies really.“

This is not the first time the actor has stood up to transphobes. 

Speaking to lifestyle magazine Attitude, the veteran star talked about how happy he was about Elliot Page coming out as transgender. 

He felt “so disappointed” with himself for not recognizing the struggles that the then-teenage actor could have been facing when they worked together.

The actor talked about why it is important to be honest with oneself.

oriented aroace sapphics should be met with compassion and kindness whenever they are interacting with sapphic posts instead of the usual defensiveness they receive because of exclusionary sapphics who don’t understand their identity! you are only dividing the sapphic community further by not accepting oriented aroace sapphics! start respecting oriented aroace sapphics the same way you would any other sapphic!
