Andrew White Commentary

Andrew White, son of former Governor Mark White, entered the race for Governor. He is clearly the most conservative of all the candidates. Frankly, I believe his call to end the culture war is a code to abandon the transgender community.

Even if one believes that not to be there is cause for concern. He is in favor of banning transgender athletes from sports. No trans athletes are competing in High School Sports, and there haven’t been for some time.

The other proposal, which is to continue the current ban on youth receiving gender affirming care, is of more

One only has to talk to most trans youth for a few to realize that these young people know who they are and know what they want.

It is always wrong to speak in generalizations, but parents and doctors are adequate safeguards

To withhold gender affirming sentences these children to a miserable existence. It also may mean that a transition as an adult is less than convincing.

There may be reasons to vote for Andrew White, but his attitude towards trans people is not one of them.
