  • Parenting a Trans Kid in Trump’s America

    Parenting a Trans Kid in Trump’s America
    Nov 21 2025

    Since starting his second term, President Trump has thrown the full weight of the federal government behind the denying the idea of transgender identity, and pushing to prevent trans minors from getting gender-affirming medical care.

    Two parents of a trans child discuss facing the scramble of supporting their child, and their fears of becoming targets of the government.

    Guest: The parents of Allie, who is trans.

    Background reading:

    • Hospitals are limiting gender treatment for trans minors, even in blue states.
    • States have sued over Mr. Trump’s efforts to end pediatric transgender medical care.
    • Trans youth are rattled by efforts to ban gender care. So are hospitals.
