Thank you for sharing your story.

I went to high school and undergraduate school in the 1990s; my high school was in a major metropolitan area, and had over 1500 students.

Not a single student, in either educational institution, required that they be affirmed as the opposite sex, play on the opposite sex’s sports teams, or use the opposite sex’s locker or restrooms— And not a single student required, in the combined 8 years, took their own life.

My story is not unique.

Dysphoria or unhappiness with one’s physical body is not new, and it’s certainly not rare for those who do not wish to conform to stereotypes.

But those of us, who grew up gay, in the 90s and before, who absolutely would be diagnosed with “gender dysphoria” today, did not take our own lives, I certainly wasn’t medicated for any reason, and I played sports with other girls and women.

This entire “movement” and ideology is nonsense.

So happy for you and your parents! As a side note, I think GSA organizations need to be banned from schools. It's not homophobic or even "conservative" to say that. Accepting your child's homosexuality means not making a big deal out of it. A teacher led club at school that discusses sexuality is just creepy.
