2021 is shaping up to be one of the worst years for anti-LGBTQ legislation to date. So far over 175 bills have been introduced in 32 states that seek to restrict the rights of LGBTQ individuals, with several of them specifically targeting transgender and gender diverse kids. This coordinated, multistate effort to target vulnerable transgender youth is rooted in fear and misinformation. Guest host James Burroughs, VP and Chief Equity and Inclusion Officer, interviews Dr. Angela Kade Goepferd, Chief Education Officer, Chief of Staff and Medical Director of the Gender Health Program at Children's Minnesota about what equity actions you can take as a clinician (or parent or community member) to protect transgender kids as they are being banned from sports participation and denied access to life saving medical care. Learn how to dispel myths about transgender athletes and what we know about the evidence behind providing gender affirming care to kids and teenagers.
