"I think that part of the trans epidemic is that kids did not feel and do not feel that it's okay to be gay. A lot of the spaces and a lot of the support that I had as a gay kid have disappeared. I thought that we had got to the point in society where it was okay to be gay but so many of these trans kids tell us that it's not and that it's better to be trans and have a lifetime of medical problems. That means we have to go back to square one and deal with homophobia." - Jamie Reed |
