To the editor:
I find it curious that our legislators across the country are focusing on transgender teenagers wanting to play sports. Why, with all that is happening in our country with the pandemic, violence against people of color, and families struggling to make ends meet, are we talking about bathrooms and locker rooms for teenagers.
When my own daughter came out as transgender a few years ago, we found ourselves planning each outing away from our home around safe bathrooms for her because she was aware of this public fear of her. Luckily, her high school, Mankato West, did a beautiful job making sure she could participate in physical education and have access to a bathroom without shame or undue attention. Transgender teenagers have a 50% greater rate of suicide attempts because so many of them do not feel safe, welcomed, or supported. That itself is a crisis, not whether their body is a problem in sports or bathrooms.
