I'm pro-transgender rights. I'm pro LGBTQ, just don't go to the extreme with our kids. Now, if they want to take on a different pronoun or a different gender identity or grow their hair out, or wear a dress, or wear pants, or do those things as a minor. Those are all things that I think most people would support. Be who you want to be, but don't make those permanent changes when it's a child, they may decide as an adult hey, instead of being Johnny, I want to be Jill. That's okay. But let them figure that out and make that decision when they can consent.
