Republican lawmakers have become laser focused on legislation affecting transgender Missourians. That reality is pushing some to flee with their families or send transgender teenagers to out-of-state universities. "There's no point in staying," one mother said. "I consider it dangerous here."
Linda, Pat and their 15-year-old son Alex describe themselves as refugees of Missouri.
Alex, which is a pseudonym to protect his privacy, is transgender. He’s lived his entire life in Missouri, and though his family imagined him leaving state for college, they truly believed Missouri would always be home.
It wasn’t until March, when Democrats in the state Senate were trying to block a bill banning transgender minors from puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones, that they knew Missouri was no longer safe for their son.

They are just setting limits for when drugs and procedures can be used or performed.
From these parents I am getting the idea that they think "I don't care about normal kids I only care about my child." To an extent they are correct, but when it comes to boys or men being in sports against REAL females, it isn't fair, it isn't right.
Same with all other institutions that have been primarily set aside for Females only. Last week there was an article about a Sorority where they allowed a male who thinks he is a female to join the Sorority walking around the Sorority House with an erection. Sorry NOPE you need to be gone.
