Emma Thomas' father 'came out' as trans when she was nine—now she fights to protect kids like her


Listen Later

It's only recently that we are beginning to hear the stories of family members of men who have begun identifying as women, from the “trans widow” to, now, the children of transitioners.

Emma Thomas is the founder of the campaign group, Children of Transitioners, a group that questioned the University of Sussex Hospitals NHS Trust on their “perinatal care policy for trans and non binary people policy." Children of Transitioners inquired about “safeguarding concerns about the sexual and emotional abuse of babies and children of transitioners” and asked about evidence supporting the claim that the “milk” produced by trans-identified men after taking a combination of drugs is “comparable to that produced following the birth of a baby.”

Emma's own father "came out" to her as "trans" when she was nine. In this episode, Meghan Murphy speaks with her about her childhood, her father, and her concerns about protecting kids and babies from trans ideology.
