Moms of Transgender Kids Speak Out

For years, extremists have been spreading hateful disinformation about transgender people for political gain. They want to keep trans kids from playing youth sports, ban trans people from military service, tell them what bathrooms to use, and really just deny their very existence.

The government is currently trying to stop hospitals from providing life-saving healthcare for transgender kids, and they’re threatening to take away their much-needed federal funding to get them to comply. They’re also threatening to investigate and punish hospitals and healthcare providers who offer these services.

Parents, grandparents, doctors, and therapists are fed up. They’re also nervous, afraid, and figuring out what to do, one day at a time, all while trying to navigate and mitigate the harm that’s being done to their families.

Join us to hear from moms of transgender children as they share their families’ experiences, the challenges they’ve faced, how these current trends are impacting their kids, and what it means to fiercely advocate for those they love.

The event will also feature Representative Leigh Finke, the first openly transgender person elected to the Minnesota state legislature. She’ll share her journey, her work in public service, and the policies state government can advance to better protect the transgender community.

We can all relate to the selfless love a parent has for their child and how they’d do anything – including getting arrested – in order to protect them. Come on Tuesday to hear more from moms of transgender kids so that you can help advocate for them in your community, too.
