Jane Hall: Unthinking reaction

For goodness sake, a little realism here. Why would a transgender person who has gone through enormous physical/emotional/financial pain to alter physical appearance to fit his actual gender be physically interested in a little girl who is the same perceived gender?

The “woman” in the bathroom with our children is not a male degenerate who is there to prey on them; she is one of them. Time for some common sense and sensitivity, not unthinking reaction.
