“My child deserves to express themselves without fear of judgement or any limitation.”

This affirmation for parents of LGBTQ+ youth, by Rebecca Minor, LICSW (.specialist), holds so much power.

Parenting an LGBTQ+ child often means navigating fear that doesn’t belong to our kids — fear created by a world that too often misunderstands, limits, or tries to control who they are. But our homes don’t have to reflect that world.

Our children deserve:
✨ Safety
✨ Freedom
✨ Joy
✨ Room to grow, explore, and become who they already are

When we affirm our trans kids, we are protecting their right to live fully and honestly. We are saying: You don’t have to shrink here. You don’t have to hide. You don’t have to earn your worth.

Let this be a reminder to parents everywhere:
Your love matters.
Your support matters.
Your courage creates space for your child to breathe.

And that can change everything.

Trans and nonbinary young people deserve care that affirms who they are and supports their wellbeing. Gender-affirming care is evidence-based, compassionate healthcare, and our communities continue to show up for one another with love, courage, and determination. Regardless of the actions of the Trump administration, we remain committed to protecting access and building a future where trans youth can thrive.

This is why I advocate. This is why we must speak up - with colleagues, friends and family. If you can safely do so - stop these
kinds of comments in their tracks. Examples:

That’s transphobic
Would you say that to her directly? Then don’t say it here.
She has a right to dignity.
Thats inappropriate.
That’s not ethical care.
Stop.
