Do you remember the Heather Grimm case?
Heather was a big hefty girl from rural VA who realized she was gay by HS.
Heather's mother loved her but their Baptist faith and community made it hard to accept the reality of a lesbian daughter.
It was much, much easier to accept the idea that Heather was really a boy who'd been born in the wrong body. After all, babies are born with defective hearts, say, all the time, and doctors need to fix the problem. Sometimes bodies just come out wrong, don't they?
Heather began presenting as male at school, changed her name to Gavin, and demanded the right to use the boys' bathroom because she felt it was wrong to make her use the girls' bathroom because she wasn't really a girl.
Heather/Gavin got lots of legal assistance from the usual gang of idiots and now that's why many school districts in VA are forcing little girls to accept having boys in their bathrooms.
If Heather's one mommy had been able to accept having a lesbian daughter in her family we might not be here in this deranged social place right now.
