Woman says she knew her biological daughter was meant to be trans because her 'food choices were odd'

A woman who testified against a Louisiana bill that would ban sex change surgeries for minors in the state said she knew her biological daughter was a boy because her “food choices were odd."

"We couldn't figure out what the problem was. We took him to specialists and neurologists, and he had brain scans trying to figure out why he couldn't sleep," the mother told lawmakers of her child, who now identifies as a transgender boy. "As he grew, he got to sleeping. But his food choices were odd. They were always like green vegetables, raw green vegetables, which, if you know kids, most kids don't like to eat those things."

"Once we figured out that he was transgender, when he came to us and told us that he was transgender, we went back and realized that the pattern of everything he had experienced as a child — including eating green vegetables, because that boosts testosterone — were just methods of his body trying to become who he was meant to be," she added. "His brain does not match his physiology."
