What's been called an epidemic of all too often deadly violence targeting trans youth raises a number of serious concerns.
First and foremost is the politicization of the issue by conservatives who seek NOT to protect trans youth, but portray them, rather than as the frequent targets of abuse they are, but rather as the perpetrators of same.
Why is this reversal of reality occurring?
Trans youth experience bullying, abuse and violence at SIX TIMES the rate of their gender-conforming peers, but what one tends to see in conservative circles is an ongoing rush to deepen the deadly and destructive divide imperiling trans kids.
What can be done to educate people about the trauma and peril trans kids face on a daily basis?
