Anti-transgender hate crimes spike, leading to calls for a public health emergency

5. My two stepsons...

... are raging, narrow-minded bigots, and they didn't get it from their mother or me, that's for sure.
Not long ago, I had to shut the older one up with this:

Do you know why men have nipples? Because every human being that has ever walked the Earth was – and is – female from the moment of conception and well into gestation. The Y chromosome begins to make its presence known at around 7 weeks. Now, every change a fetus experiences can happen at differing intervals, and at infinitely variable rates, and the same holds true for the brain. which means that, yeah, children are literally born gay every day. It is not a choice. Bigots deny it because they need for it to be a choice so they can condemn those children for making the wrong choice.

So his red-faced response was, "I don't believe that."

I said, science doesn't care whether or not you believe it, J. It'll just go on being true and leave you wallowing in your own little cesspool of malice and ignorance. But I said it gently, and with a smile.

Hang in there, Vercetti!
