“Meet My Child” Say Moms of Trans Kids

Meet My ChildA new transgender advocacy organization has released a touching video sharing the stories of transgender kids and their moms. It just might be the best strategy to counter fearful and fearsome “bathroom bills.”

A few weeks ago, I wrote that in the face of “bathroom bills,” we cannot let the right-wing own and control the argument about protecting children. LGBTQ advocates are protecting children as well—more so, even, since they are protecting children of all gender identities and expressions, as well as children with parents across the gender spectrum.

“Meet My Child: Parents of Transgender Kids Speak Out,” from the newly formed Trans United Fund (TUF), addresses just that point (although I claim no credit; it’s clearly just a good idea).

TUF, which launched a month ago, is “committed to building the political power of trans and gender expansive communities and our allies to advocate for trans equality.”

Politics is personal, however, and the video below is testament to that. Share it for Mother’s Day.
