But yes, I worry about a lot of it. Even for the transgendered kids. I don't know that this is the answer. I don't KNOW that its NOT the answer either.

Unfortunately, there like won't be a "
the answer" for integrating transgendered people into society and making them feel comfortable and normal. But it's little initiatives like this one that will chip away at it.
People much more qualified than you and I have studied this enough to determine that this is worthwhile and will help the transgendered community, and even without the background I feel I can easily see how it would. I hope you can get there too.
I really appreciate you sticking your neck out here and saying what you truly feel about the situation, though. It's an important discussion to have.
