Recent reports and social media discussions have highlighted the challenges faced by families with transgender children, particularly in Southern states where new anti-trans laws are affecting access to gender-affirming care. Rolling Stone has shared stories from five families who are now forced to seek such care outside their home states due to these legislative changes, emphasizing the constantly changing obstacles these families face due to anti-trans legislation. The laws have been described as putting the health and futures of transgender kids in limbo, with families feeling targeted by the state. Amidst this, some social media users have raised skepticism about the prevalence of transgender children within single families, with comments ranging from questioning the statistical likelihood to outright accusations of social influence or abuse, specifically targeting a Kansas mom who consented to "gender-affirming care" for her children.

🚩Another children's book to be aware of teaches young kids to find their "chosen family" — people "outside of blood-related kin" who will "affirm" them. The author, who formed Gender Sexuality Alliance groups at two Portland elementary schools, is fundraising to publish it. https://t.co/d6qJPQeL0Q
