She's Our Transgender Daughter, and We Love Her

When Joy and Thomas's second child told them she was transgender, they knew they needed to join the fight for equality for transgender kids and adults all over Oregon.

Thank you for being so supportive to Ella. She's very lucky to have you as parents! Many Transgender youth do not have such an accepting and understanding family unit. Sending love and hugs to ya, Ella. You are a very strong young lady!

Unconditional love is pretty simple. We consider ourselves the lucky ones to have Ella as our daughter! She's taught us so much about being honest, authentic and brave. Lots of love to YOU!

I didn't block your message. Perhaps the folks that actually posted the video (Basic Rights Oregon) blocked it due to your foul language - Which by the way, is unnecessary. I'm all for respectful discourse and welcome opposing views. We just need it to be kind and respectful, to each other, that's all. I'm happy to continue this conversation under these criteria if you are willing.

I'm sorry you weren't able to enjoy a happy childhood as your true self, Danielle. I'm reaching through cyberspace and sending you a big hug. Lots of love and support for you! xoxo

Ella is amazing! Imagine having so much self awareness at such a young age. She's going to go on to do big things and is a great role model for all kids her age!
