DEBI JACKSON, MOTHER OF TRANSGENDER CHILD, GIVES MOVING SPEECH
The best part of the video may be when Jackson addresses the comments she’s heard about her daughter and sets the record straight about statements like you “wanted a girl so you turned your child into one” and “kids have no idea what they want or who they are — my kids wants to be a dog, should I let him?”
So watch the full video to see her answers to those difficult questions here.
Chills down my whole body. This is how parents should react.
If Leelah Alcorn’s mother made you lose faith, then watch this video. I literally cried tears of happiness for the daughter of this wonderful woman.
“there is a difference between pretending to be something in imaginary play, and declaring who you are – insistently, consistently, and persistently."
I can’t stop making these.
Submissions welcome.

This was how the myth of Black criminality started, for the record. After the abolition of slavery, a lot of states made laws targeting Black people specifically, and then put them on chain gangs to get free labor from them.
Oh, and the US is still disproportionately incarcerating Black people and private prisons are making huge amounts off them.
