"Choosing to be true to one's self — despite challenges that may come with the journey — is an integral part of realizing not just one's own potential, but of realizing the true nature of our collective human spirit. This spirit is what makes us who we are, and by following that spirit as it manifests outwardly, and inwardly, you are benefiting us all." -Andrew WK

I'm sure the Alliance Defending Freedom don't appreciate the irony of the name given they want to enforce sex and gender essentialism on everyone. It also amazes me that they, yet again, have the temerity to claim that the decision is 'inconsistent with concerns for safety'. It's perfectly consistent with concerns for safety of the transgender teen, they face the actual possibility of violence if made to use the wrong restroom and still face the possibility of violent enforcement of gender norms from cisgender girls too. Conversely, the concerns for 'safety' of cisgender people are predicated on predator myths.

More importantly, it's vile that they're subjecting a teen to the stress and pressures of this at a time that's already difficult. I just hope that no conservative organisations latch on to this again and make things far worse for the teen given the horrifying damage it's consistently done in the past.
"In the middle of the journey of our life, I came to myself in a dark wood, where the straight way was lost. It is a hard thing to speak of, how wild, harsh and impenetrable that wood was, so that thinking of it recreates the fear. It is scarcely less bitter than death: but, in order to tell of the good that I found there, I must tell of the other things I saw there." - Dante Alighieri
