They say their children’s lives and religious liberty are threatened by bills in Missouri and elsewhere.
In supporting their view that God intended there to be only two genders, some Christian groups have focused on the biblical story of how God created a man and woman in his own image. But Bogard said the same text has been interpreted by some Jewish scholars as showing how we started out as having an amorphous gender and then were split apart — an analysis they say affirms all types of gender identities.
The Bogards’ son is still too young to be thinking about adolescence, but it’s something that his parents agonize about. The Bogards live in a house built by his grandfather, whose own grandfather came to the United States in the late 1800s fleeing pogroms in Eastern Europe. Bogard’s father grew up in the same room that Bogard occupied as a child and that his son is now in — the fourth generation of his family to be in the home and the sixth in Missouri.
The first time Harris Dault’s daughter, now 8, went to Jefferson City last year to talk about the anti-trans bills, Harris Dault recalled, “she had a breakdown.” During this trip to the state Capitol, discrimination was the theme of an emotional plea from the Bogards’ eldest son, an 11-year-old who wants to be a meteorologist.
Sparks said he worried some children would regret having had such treatments when they were older. He spoke of a family member who had transitioned to another gender, then changed their mind after several years and transitioned back.
