That was disturbing news to Angelica Jadunandan, who moved to New York from Florida with her two young daughters three years ago. Her older daughter, who is eight, is transgender, and Angelica wanted to move them to a safe blue state—somewhere her family’s medical care would not be called into question. New York is a self-declared “sanctuary state” for trans people. It seemed like a good option.
Thanks for the info. You hit the nail on the head with how hard it is to get information you can trust on this subject searching the web.
Maybe someday if AI actually gets intelligent, we can put it in charge of curating a source for factual information. It has a long way to go. But humans don’t show much hope of ever doing that.
And she does have a decent friend group. The district in general is pretty “everyone’s welcome”. But it’s hard to manage teenagers in general. So plenty of hateful things still happen. And the administration at their particular school is just massively incompetent.
We do our best to make her welcome at our home, but kids these days are more into large group chats and such. So they don’t get together as much.
