Protect Trans Kids!

Kids should get to be kids. But when a young person's identity is politicized, attacked, and belittled, childhood and adolescence become a battle ground for basic human rights. In this webinar, we'll learn about some of the challenges young trans people face, as well as some of the remarkable young folks who are a part of the trans community. Objectives: 1.  Participants will learn the stages of childhood gender identity development. 2. Participants will learn about the wave of legislative violence attacking trans youth, in particular trans girls. 3. Participants will be able to identify action steps to push back against political violence targeting trans young people.
