We are so thrilled to have Hildie, a 13 year old trans girl and activist, and Hannah, her Mom and Director of Transforming Families. After Hildie experienced discrimination and bullying at school for her gender expression, she and her parents stood up against the school and paved the way for gender inclusive schools in Minnesota. Since then, Hildie has testified on behalf of Minnesota's Trans Refuge bill and more recently served on a panel at the Department of Education in Washington D.C. Plus, we discuss the Wikihow article "How to Come Out to Your Parents" and learn some new things about each other!Resources from This Episode:ChangeMakers: Hildie Edwards speaks up for trans kids like herselfTransforming Families MinnesotaOutfront MinnesotaGender JusticeOther Resources:https://www.thetrevorproject.org/https://www.thetrevorproject.org/resources/guide/a-guide-to-being-an-ally-to-transgender-and-nonbinary-youth/https://www.glaad.org/resourcelistSend your questions, feedback, and stories to questions@transgendapod.com, click the Chat With Us button at www.transgendapod.com, and follow us on social media (Instagram | Facebook | Twitter | YouTube)If you or a trans loved one are contemplating suicide, please call the Trans Lifeline at (877) 565-8860.Send us a textSupport the show
