Nothing Says Patriot Like Hiding… Your Children
That ever popular bastion of Jesus freedom, WorldNetDaily, is hiding a Transgender Partriot! In their “Letter of the Week” they showcase the anonymous patriot. She starts out by saying “First, before I begin, I just want to let you know that I support WND and the work you do primarily as it relates to the illegal-alien invasion and the North American Union. My feedback below doesn’t change that.” Then goes on to say: I feel badly that the “T” is almost always associated with the LGB as well. I often times do not agree with their politics. In fact, I almost never do. I’m very patriotic, and their politics cannot typically be characterized as patriotic. The rest of the post is an appeal to right wing conservatives to see us as separate from the GLB community. While I don’t agree with the writer, I can understand the reasoning behind it.

Why this article may matter
Community significance
“Nothing Says Patriot Like Hiding… Your Children” may matter to community readers because it preserves a first-person or testimonial account connected to transgender identity and history, while also engaging community and organizing. Such accounts can document how an issue was understood and experienced from within the period or community being discussed.
Historical significance
As a publication record from 2007 at Transadvocate.com, “Nothing Says Patriot Like Hiding… Your Children” provides dated evidence of how transgender identity and history was being argued in relation to community and organizing. Comparing it with earlier and later records can reveal changes in vocabulary, evidence, and emphasis.
Policy significance
The article’s strongest policy connection is administrative classification and identity documents. It links that institutional frame to transgender identity and history and community and organizing, making it potentially useful for tracing how an argument moves from description or history into law, regulation, administration, or public practice.
