You tell me to be strong and keep pushing forward. You say I’m doing a great job as a parent and that I should raise my voice and advocate for my child. You assure me of your love and support, promising to stand by me and my child through thick and thin.
Yet, I often feel like I’m on an isolated shore, watching a massive wave crash toward me.
I’m terrified—terrified for my child, for myself, and for those I care about. I’m scared and unsure of how to find my voice. I don’t know how to be brave enough and visible enough to make a real difference without putting my child in harm’s way.
Your child isn’t transgender. Your child isn’t facing obstacles like being denied access to public restrooms. Your child isn’t subjected to insults and derogatory labels—like being called a monster or a freak.
When policies are rolled back, it won’t be your child who struggles to access medical care or whose mental health suffers because they feel trapped in the wrong body. It won’t be your child left in the hallway while their peers use the facilities where they feel safe and accepted. Your child won’t have to endure the kind of discrimination that can lead to severe emotional and physical harm.
You tell me to be brave, that it’s alright to feel afraid. You say you’re here for me.
But you won’t be there when someone tries to take my child away, claiming that I’m somehow abusing him by supporting his identity. You won’t be there when the authorities come knocking.
You encourage me to keep sharing our story, to keep advocating. Yet, I need more than just words.
I need you to be our voice, our allies. I need you—who has nothing to lose—to call your local representatives and demand that all trans individuals be treated with dignity and respect. I need you to reach out to schools and insist they implement policies that allow trans students access to the bathrooms that align with their gender identity.
I need you to take action now, before it’s too late.
I need you, who won’t face the same risks, to talk to your friends, family, and neighbors about trans issues. Don’t just hit ‘share’ on social media—get out there and engage in real conversations. Often, fear and ignorance fuel prejudice, and you can help change hearts and minds.
I need you to attend rallies, to march, to raise awareness. Share your story about why protecting my trans child matters to you. Why the safety of all trans youth is a shared responsibility.
I need you to act now, before it’s too late.
Because while your child may not be trans, mine is, and my heart is heavy with fear.
