Pediatrician here. I care for LGBTQ+ youth.
Many state & federal leaders decrying #ColoradoSprings are the same ones given ample chances to vote for #LGBTQ policies to help our community, but don’t. Many support anti-LGBTQ laws.
Homo/transphobia & violence are a direct result.

@DrScottHadland This latest form of transphobia where they accuse innocent people of heinous behavior, goes beyond mere bigotry. It is a tool.
It is analogous to the lie of the "blood libel" that was used to inflame hatred and justify violence against a certain group. I think you can see where this line of thinking is going.
Anyone who says "it can't happen here" either has their head in the sand or they have an agenda.
