What I Care About

Being a transgender woman, I have been exposed to a lot harsher realities that I wasn’t aware of before coming out. One huge issue is family acceptance. All too often trans children face rejection from their families in the form of abuse, conversion therapy, or being forced out of their home. Trans youth homelessness is one of the highest rates of the homeless population. A lot of the time these are kids that need access to proper medical care if they have transitioned or seek to transition. A lot of time these kids are homeless because they come from a family that won’t accept them or kicked them out and that’s horrible. This is a topic that needs some more light shed on it. ~ Blair Cherelstein
