New Book Frontlines Trans Youth Crisis

As the U.S. Supreme Court is about to address laws that ban trans youth from accessing life-saving healthcare a new book “Trans Kids, Our Kids: Stories & Resources from the Frontlines of the Movement for Transgender Youth” has been published. Adam Polaski, Communications & Political Director of the Campaign for Southern Equality & one of the authors of the book stated, “This book was a labor of love for the Campaign for Southern Equality staff, with team members contributing at every level & community members from all walks of life trusting us with their stories. We are honored to bring this book into the world as a tool to educate the public, illustrate the immense challenges that trans youth, families & advocates are facing & motivate all of us to get involved in the work to ensure that every young person, especially those most marginalized & targeted by cruel political forces, can live with dignity & respect.” Alexis Stratton also one of the authors of the book concluded, “There is so much political noise about transgender young people, which enables & even encourages the public to look past the very real, long-lasting harms that legislative attacks are causing for transgender youth & their families. Our mission with Trans Kids, Our Kids is to center, elevate & amplify the voices of the people who are grappling with the fallout – the parents & family members, the doctors & attorneys, the advocates & above all, the young people themselves. Our book introduces extraordinary & diverse people who bring to the forefront not only the fear & pain that the trans community is experiencing but also the ways that we are finding joy & supporting each other through this crisis.”
