Transparently Speaking

Driver’s Licenses, Marathons, and Trans Rights (#106)


Listen Later

From new driver’s licenses to marathon training, we share family updates alongside deeper reflections on advocacy, trans rights, and why a simple message like “You Are Loved” matters more than ever.

In this episode, we catch up on big life updates—from teenagers getting their driver’s licenses to the final stretch of marathon training. But woven through these everyday milestones are deeper conversations about what it means to parent, advocate, and show up for transgender youth.

We share the relief of seeing correct gender markers affirmed on official documents, the bittersweet transition of kids gaining independence, and the courage it takes to wear a message as simple—and as controversial—as “You Are Loved.”

Along the way, we talk about the troubling rhetoric labeling transgender people and their advocates as dangerous, and why visibility and allyship matter now more than ever.

If you’re taking something away from our podcast, we’d appreciate it if you’d take a moment to provide us with a review; the more listeners and reviews, the more people we can reach and support.
