Editor,
This is my reaction to the sweet and compassionate Christian lady who wrote a letter last week about who uses which bathrooms.
First, transgender people should not be equated with sexual predators. Most sex offenders are straight men who prey on their own children, little girls and little boys.
“God-fearing people” could better spend their time getting educated about transgendered people and going to therapy to get rid of their irrational fear, prejudices, and hatred.
The “Let it be known” sweet and compassionate lady Christian threatens violence. Isn’t that both against real Christian teaching and against the law? “If he [sic] is lucky, he [sic] will only need an ambulance to respond to remove him [sic]. If he [sic] is not so lucky, he [sic] will need the coroner and hearse.”
Since the writer seems ignorant, let me explain that the notation “sic” is used to denote that the quoted passage is incorrect but that the word has been quoted verbatim even though the word is used incorrectly.
A person who has changed from being male, a transgendered person, and is now a female, should be referred to as she. So, unless this sweet and compassionate Christian lady was looking up the woman’s skirt, she would not really know her original gender or the gender the so-called “offender” has changed into.
