Cohen issued a message to children earlier this week urging them to celebrate friends who exhibit transgender behavior.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s really important to celebrate International Trans Day of Visibility,\u201d Cohen told his young viewers Wednesday. \u201cBecause the more the world understands, is aware of, and supports people of trans experience, the more empowered this community will be to have our rights and to have what we deserve and to be equal like everybody else.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m proud to be a part of the trans community because we are united by a common pursuit of our own personal truth,\u201d continued Cohen, who played a character named Schwoz in the show \u201cHenry Danger,\u201d which aired from 2014 to 2020. \u201cThere are most likely people of trans experience in your school, your community, friends, family. You can support them by standing up against bullying, cheering them on as they express themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBe true to yourself as you are,\u201d Cohen concluded. \u201cYou\u2019re really important. Don\u2019t compromise. And believe in your dreams. Know that you have people like myself and other people in this community that are behind you, that support you, and believe in you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"9.3657142857143\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Today is International Transgender Day of Visibility \ud83c\udff3\ufe0f\u200d\u26a7\ufe0f Join us in celebrating people of trans experience by making the world a safer &amp; more equal place for everyone to be fully themselves.

As The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/its-demonic-christian-mothers-mourn-how-trans-movement-devouring-sons-find-solace-in-secret-online-group\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reported<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"33\">\n<p><em>One mother, whom the outlet intentionally misnamed as Danae Johnson, told CP that her son Jeremy came out to her as transgender when he was 14. She believes his struggles with identity are rooted in being bullied for having been smaller than other boys. She noted that Jeremy, now 17, has newfound popularity with his peers after coming out as trans.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>[\u2026]<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Another mother from the online group, whom CP called Paulina Hinson, is not religious but has found solidarity in the group. Her son Kevin identifies as a transgender lesbian who expressed his intention to transition at 15.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Kevin, his mother noted, is very intelligent and struggled to relate socially to other boys growing up.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>High intelligence is seemingly a common trait among the trans-identifying sons of the mothers they interviewed, CP observed, with many also falling along the autistic spectrum or suffering from other issues such as ADHD. \u201cEvery one of their kids has mental health issues,\u201d one of the mothers said of the others in the group. \u201cMost of them are autistic. High-functioning Asperger\u2019s, that kind of stuff \u2026 This whole understanding of the world, it\u2019s a subculture I had no idea existed.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Related<\/strong>: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/its-demonic-christian-mothers-mourn-how-trans-movement-devouring-sons-find-solace-in-secret-online-group\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u2018It\u2019s Demonic\u2019: Concerned Mothers Mourn How Trans Movement Is \u2018Devouring\u2019 Sons, Find Solace In Secret Online Group<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
