SD Gov Noem Clueless as Usual... I mean SD is one backwards states that does not protect the rights of LGBTQ people, and Noem has no clue why that would make a person sad, frustrated, depressed, etc?
In fact she signed a law to protect bigots who refuse to serve LGBTQ individuals.
Now if she was honest, she should have said "they are probably depressed because they are unfortunate to live in a state with a bunch of religious right bigots like myself."

I am being told that Democrats are moving to the left. When our schools address the issues of LBTQ kids without seeking parental permission first, is that an example of Democrats moving left?

Please elaborate...
"address the issues of LBTQ kids without seeking parental permission first"
And I suppose it is matter of perspective...
Letting people with testicles in the girls bathroom is definitely a change...
Public education makes people nervous, and it always have. Parents have always seen it as something that takes away their control over their children and ultimately as a sign of their own mortality.

I feel sorry for those weak minded foolish parent(s).
Usually the only people who lose when the Parents / Schools fight are the kids.
"Quality of life isn’t helped by transgender surgery or hormones. In fact, those who get them are 20 times more likely to commit suicide than their peers." Yeah, parents shouldn't stand in the way of that.

Johns Hopkins Reverses Course
Looks like this guy let his Catholic faith bias his science
In August 2016, McHugh, at the time retired, co-authored a 143-page article on gender and sexuality in The New Atlantis, a non-peer reviewed journal published under the auspices of the Ethics and Public Policy Center, a Christian-focused conservative think tank.[36][37][38] In September 2016 Johns Hopkins University faculty members Chris Beyrer, Robert W. Blum, and Tonia C. Poteat wrote a Baltimore Sun op-ed, to which six other Johns Hopkins faculty members also contributed, in which they indicated concerns about McHugh's co-authored report, which they said mischaracterized the current state of science on gender and sexuality.[3][39] More than 600 students, faculty members, interns, alumni and others at the medical school also signed a petition calling on the university and hospital to disavow the paper. Beyrer said "These are dated, now-discredited theories".[40][41][42]
Geneticist Dean Hamer condemned McHugh’s publication as a misrepresentation of scientific evidence and his own genetics research.[2] Hamer criticized McHugh use of outdated and “cherry picked” studies, describing McHugh’s call for "more research" as “dubious” since McHugh has a "long history of blocking such efforts", including closing the gender identity clinic at Johns Hopkins. Hamer concludes that "when the data we have struggled so long and hard to collect is twisted and misinterpreted by people who call themselves scientists, and who receive the benefits and protection of a mainstream institution such as John Hopkins Medical School [sic], it disgusts me."[2]
