Andraya Yearwood, Biologically a Male, Wins Connecticut Girls State Track Title

I’ve thought long and hard about whether or not to write about this, but for three days, this story has weighed heavily on my mind. So please, don’t call me a bigot or threaten to burn my house down or tell me you hope I have a transgender child one day. None of what I am writing about come from a place of hate. I can’t say that if Andraya Yearwood were my child, I’d do anything differently than her parents have done. I can say what I THINK I would do, but I am not in their shoes. Not in the shoes of parents whose child feels they are the opposite gender of what they are biologically. A child who, statistics say, has an alarmingly high risk of committing suicide.
