| I had an argument with my daughter a couple of nights ago. | |
| I am conservative, I'm religious, I'm Catholic, and she is a freshman in high school, and she said to me, if I become friends with somebody who's transgender, and we become close or whatever, and I want to invite them in the house, are you going to let them in the house? | |
| And she did this right before bedtime, and she caught me off guard, and I... I reacted very angrily. | |
| And I said, no, they're not allowed in my house. | |
| I said, I'm sorry. | |
| I think it's a mental issue. | |
| I think it's wrong what they're doing. | |
| I think it's wrong to encourage it. | |
| I said, I'm not going to call anybody they and them in my house. | |
| And I just went insane. | |
| And then she started yelling back at me. | |
| You're mean. | |
| I can't believe this. | |
| They can't help it. | |
| This and that. | |
| And then she left the room. | |
| And that was the end of it. | |
| And after talking to my sister, who has four kids, she thinks that I should... | |
| I should just switch schools and put her in Catholic school where we live. | |
| Because right now she goes to LaGuardia High School, which is an art school in Manhattan. | |
| And I'm upset. | |
| I'm still upset. | |
| And when I talk to my husband about it, he fights with me because he doesn't agree with my approach. | |
| He doesn't think she should change schools. | |
| He thinks that she's not indoctrinated. | |
| And I'm scared. | |
| I'm scared. | |
| I am really scared. | |
| Well, I'll tell you, there's a question you should ask her, and then I'll comment on your call, but there is a question you should ask her to determine if she's indoctrinated. | |
| Does she think that it is fair for biological men to compete in athletics against biological women? | |
| Okay. | |
| I mean, I could ask her that, but she's... | |
| No, no, no, no. | |
| You're right. | |
| That isn't what she's asking. | |
| I'm merely responding to how I'm trying to help you, certainly free to reject it, but I'm trying to help you determine whether she is indoctrinated or just being nice to a fellow student. | |
| They're not the same thing. | |
| She's indoctrinated if she says that it is fair. | |
| For a biological man who identifies as a female to compete in athletics against biological women. | |
| Then you know she's indoctrinated. | |
| But if she says, no, of course that's not fair. | |
| All I'm asking is, so I presume if it's in high school in America today, it is probably a female who identifies as a male. | |
| So I don't know how often she brings male friends to the house to begin with. | |
| That's obviously your... | |
| Your decision. | |
| But I would not say automatically no. | |
| I would talk to the person, though. |
