I think you were downvoted for saying you agree with Trump.

While I disagree with your statement about children being asked to question thier gender (i think kids should -- and will -- just be who they are and how they feel, and parents of a potentially trans kid have a tough job learning how to properly support that) I'm really glad that your mind isn't closed on this subject and that you are open to new information and points of view.

I'm usually happy to talk to anyone about sex and gender when they ask in good faith. The trouble with being online is that it is often difficult to discern when someone is debating or questioning in good faith, or trying to be mean. Trans people are constantly being attacked online for simply existing, so it's understandable when they are upset when you say that you support laws that violate their human rights.
