A transgender boy is a person who was assigned a female gender at birth who currently identifies as having a male gender. The video you are responding to got this wrong the entire way through and was actually meant to be saying transgender girls (people who were assigned a male gender at birth who currently identify as having a female gender).

@chrisjw28111 Thank you for correcting me- I'm not really educated on the subject so I was responding using the (incorrect) terms used in the original video, so I'm glad to know where I made a mistake. I hope my point still comes across as I intended.

Buy cookies. Stop hate.

thanks for your support :)

kids like that GIRL need as much of it as they can get, with all the sick, insensitive people out there. I mean, who actually condones forcing someone to be something they're not....? it makes no sense.

:(

@MsChrisXena Thanks for the info. I call it a win for equity, sanity and decency

Now if you will excuse me, I am gonna go buy some cookies :)

a. The Riedley family, and supporters, are an anti-GLBT group, so this is just another way to attack people being themselves.

b. Although I can't positively confirm this, I have read a quote by a knowlegable trans-leaders in the local Colorado area has claimed this trans-girl has now been able to join a NEWLY created "inclusive" girl scouts group.

c. My impression is the cookie boyscott has backfired, and failed in all ways.

I call it a win for equity.

@MsChrisXena 1) Good point. I was just trying to find a positive spin to such boiling hatred (trying to avoid the inevitable conclusion that this girl was somehow corrupted at such a young age and will eventually grow up to be a member of society)

2) Never heard of those two. Why do they hate Girl Scouts?

@sunsetandfairfax: Interesting comment... Coming from someone with a username that puts you roughly in LA/Hollywood (which is a highly "gay" area), if it is even remotely indicative of your current location. Digression aside, your view saddens me. Not for the obvious reasons (i.e., you're a bigot and an idiot) but because you don't have enough knowledge nor information about human sexuality/biology to know how incorrect your comment is from a scientific/psychological standpoint. Do some homewor

Thank you for standing up for this child.

the girl that said to boycott girl scout cookies is not even a real girl scout she is with a group that fights against transgenders
