This is a community with which I have a deep connection. I know transgender people. I know the parents of transgender kids. Beloved kids, just like any other. I know the pain and struggle that many families go through. I’ve heard so many personal stories. And I know the risks many of these children face from bullying and violence. Imagine being a parent, loving your child and worrying every day about the ugliness and attacks they might encounter. And for some families there are acute worries about depression, substance abuse, suicide.
