Preparing Our Transgender Families for January 20th (#88) Artwork

Transparently Speaking

We are Diana and Joy - two moms who each supported their children to transition in early elementary school to become their true selves. We are using our voices to reflect our child’s voices, and have navigated everything from family and friends, to health care offices and schools. We are here to share our experience and our learning along this transgender journey, to provide support and guidance, parent-to-parent, and if you find yourself on a similar journey, we want you to know that you are not alone. Beyond parenting, we are also excited about building a community of allies and chosen family who will stand together with us, Transparently Speaking.

As January 20th approaches, many families with transgender children face uncertainty, fear, and the need to prepare for possible changes. In this episode, Diana and Joy discuss the steps they’ve taken to safeguard their children, including creating safe folders, updating documents, and navigating the current political climate.

They also reflect on the emotional toll of recent events, share moments of resilience, and highlight the importance of supporting organizations like Lambda Legal, ACLU, and NCLR.

For families, this episode offers a sense of solidarity and practical advice. For allies, it’s a call to action to support transgender families in these trying times. Hope still gleams, even in unexpected places, reminding us that progress can prevail.
