To the ignorant, hateful people attacking Drew Barrymore because she had Dylan Mulvaney, a transgender woman and activist on her show, and showed compassion and love towards her, your children are watching:
- Your children will be undereducated and ill-prepared for the world if you hide reality from them.
- Your children will be hateful people who are at a disadvantage if you teach them that differences are bad.
- Your children will view you, when adults, as a likely bigot and hold you accountable.
I know a million right-wing, toxically masculine, nuts will reply to this post attacking me, a straight male, for supporting these TWO women. Guess what!Your attacks prove my point.
Thank you @DrewBarrymore for this amazing dialogue!
