text: You mean science that says gay and trans people exist? And that they should be treated equally and with the same compassion and respect as all people should be?
  
  Nice try andy but your fear mongering and hyperbole are absurd. No one is trying to "steer innocent and confused children and adolescents towards irreversible gender re-assignment surgery".
  
  Your characterization of science's "deafening silence" is ridiculous. In fact it's the research on sex and gender that has helped us better understand LGBT people and tear down prejudice against them. The cure you need is for bigotry and prejudice.
  
  The real objective truth and natural law is that homosexuality exists, human sexuality is a spectrum, and that teens will have sex just as they have been doing for millennia. Denying that and vilifying people who don't fit your narrow world view is simply no longer acceptable.
  
  The irony of you suggesting that I be open to those concepts while displaying your own closed attitude is rich indeed.
