Joanna Mills, I do NOT and will never understand why people are so offended. I am from a generation that never knew Transpeople existed (only gay, lesbian and of course "drag queens"). Until I met several trans women and became very close friends with one of them. So close that she named my firstborn. My kids knew her by her "female" name (sorry it's the only way I can describe those years) and had their aunt in their lives well into their late teens. Guess what happened to my children? Shocker!!! They became adults who are loving and welcoming of everyone in their spaces without transphobia or homophobia setting in. I still feel my husband and I made the right decision 30 years ago and nothing has changed my mind. Great response!
