Episode description

In this episode of Trans Truth, we are tackling the wave of hateful legislation and executive action being taken against trans kids by cynical politicians who are exploiting the fear and ignorance of their "base". These actions are nothing more than state sponsored terrorism of trans kids and their families in the 38 states where such action is being considered.
Joining us this episode is Danielle Healy, a Houston area attorney who has done a great deal of advocacy and pro bono work for the LGBTQ community. Danielle will also discuss her role in the award-winning documentary, "Our Dad, Danielle".
Below are the links to the reports mentioned in our news segment. You will also find a link to the letter that the U.S. Department of Justice has sent to the attorneys general of all fifty states, pointing out the many federal statutes and regulations that the GOP's reckless strategy will run afoul of.
