'What is it about us queer people that scares you so much?'
you said had been made by the University of Colorado Boulder. A parent at CU had contacted you about a daughter who was assigned to a room “with a biological male who considers himself a female.” In your anecdote, you said it was a university policy that was only reversed after your intervention.
As I read your comments, Heidi, I felt pain for the student who is transgender for being judged because of who they are. And being judged by a complete stranger who has never met this person, never looked into their eyes, never heard their story, their struggles, their fears and their hopes. I met Janelle a few years ago. We met outside her mobile home in the mountains near Colorado Springs; she’s moved out of state since. She was born a man and told me it felt like she had poison in her body for 58 years. Poison. Like rattlesnake venom in her blood. She transitioned in her early sixties. Lost everything – her wife, her home, her kids, her job. She told me she thought about taking her life every single day for three years because she felt like she was suffocating in her own body.
When I talked to her last, she told me that her biggest fear is that if she gets sick, no one will help shave her face and she’ll die as a man with a man’s name. That’s not right.
