I recognize that the topic of sex and gender can be a very tough issue which can raise a lot of strong opinions. I ask that we remember, as we read, that there are people, probably not too far from our own circle, who are navigating this with a loved one, whether it be a child, a relative or a friend. There can often be a lot of struggle, confusion, hurt and possibly mental and emotional distress so please, let’s keep this in mind as we look at this. It is a people issue, and we want to be sensitive to the hearts and minds of those whom we may engage with.
