I read Lawrence McSwain's letter in last week's newspaper, and immediately felt he needs to become a lot more accepting of people.
In order to re-think his position on gender identity, he should read a book that we will discuss at our Unitarian Universalist book club this winter, "Becoming Nicole" by Amy Ellis Nutt.
Reading this book will provide Mr. McSwain with an introduction to gender identity issues, and hopefully admiration for the many families fighting today to make a safer world for their transgender child.
Isn't a safe world all any of us want, be they parents or grandparents?

A letter to the editor expresses a reader's opinion and, as such, is not reflective of the editorial opinions of this newspaper.
To submit a letter to the editor for publishing, send an email to viewpoints@capegazette.com. All letters are considered at the discretion of the newsroom and published as space allows. Due to the large volume of submissions, we cannot acknowledge receipt of each submission. Letters must include a phone number and address for verification. Keep letters to 400 words or fewer. We reserve the right to edit for content or length. Letters should be responsive to issues addressed in the Cape Gazette rather than content from other publications or media. Letters should focus on local issues, not national topics or personalities. Only one letter per author will be published every 30 days regarding a particular topic. Authors may submit a second letter within that time period if it pertains to a different issue. Letters may not be critical of personalities or specific businesses. Criticism of public figures is permissible. Endorsement letters for political candidates are no longer accepted. Letters must be the author’s original work, and may not be generated by artificial intelligence tools. Templates, form letters and letters containing language similar to other submissions will not be published.
