The fact that you refuse to use HER name, Leelah--not Joshua-- undermines any positive or forward thinking message you were trying to convey in this video. You show no respect or understanding of the people you are trivialize here.
Yeah, with transgender people, the ancient common-law principle regarding names that are used consistently and non-fraudulently just goes out the window, doesn't it? Because as Christians we must Stand For The Truth and whatnot.
The fact that you refuse to acknowledge the reality of Joshua's illness undermines any positive or forward thinking message you are trying to convey in your comment. You show no respect of understanding of the person you are harming by feeding their illness.
