This left me in awe of the intelligence behind the victim. Sophie is without a doubt an expert in her own field. Experts should be talking to her and giving her the platform that will benefit others.
I try hard to understand the personal issues of people with gender identification. I hope you can appreciate this is difficult for someone who was raised in the 60/70’s and doesn’t have the same identification issues. It wasn’t until I found out my offspring was gay that I understood just how damaging being homophobic was. I was not a vindictive homophobe, but then you don’t have to be physical to cause harm.
I think there is a lot of credence to her opinion of putting people into boxes. This causes so many mental issues with growing kids, and has done for a very long time. We really need to find a way to help kids be happy with who they are and not pander to the whims of the crowd.
Just for reference as this incites comments. I have never mistreated my kids. My initial reaction to finding out that I was the parent of someone gay was only ever about seeking to help in anyway I can. I could never fathom any parent that wants to hurt a son/daughter for not being what they want them to be.
You will be judged regardless of what meaningless term you give yourself or others. Always have and always will. People need to be more logical and less emotional about things but it’s hard to shake that primal instinct so it’s understandable why emotional seems to outshine logical.
Everyone has bias built into their psyche. Anyone who says otherwise is lying.
