On this episode of The State of Education, we are visited by Sayer Johnson. Sayer, a leader in St. Louis and within the queer and trans expansive community, joins us on this episode as a trans masculine parent of four children, one of which is adoptive and also identifies as trans masculine.

Sayer shares his journey as a parent alongside the stories of his children, with a special focus on his 6th grader who is socially and medically transitioning in middle school. His story of navigating school systems and communities advocating for queer and trans expansive folks is one that needs to be amplified across the country.

Sayer is also founder of the Metro Trans Umbrella Group (MTUG). More information about MTUG and the community services it provides can be found here.
