Transgender people knew just the same as you, the difference is that we didn't have the language to describe it.

I always tell them to start with the core values of a religion -- love and acceptance and non-judgment, there may be an inclination to go talk to a pastor or some other leader.

My compassion is there for the parents. All any parent wants is love for their children, for their children to live good lives. Transgender is such a new thing in society and we've not faced it or discussed it as a society. We've kept it in a dark corner where some people still think it's some deviant sexual behavior, if the parents would have reached out for more information, or said 'This is a lot. We need some time,' or if they had access to a group that would welcome them to talk, that might have made the difference for Leelah.
