In light of continued attacks on the rights of trans people, we are revisiting our episode with Lizette Trujillo, a parent and advocate for LGBTQ+ lives. Her son Daniel has been speaking out, including recently in Arizona and Texas, to advocate for the rights of all kids, including trans kids.

We’re so inspired by him and all those standing up to hateful legislation, including a Texas legislation that aims to criminalize gender affirming healthcare for children: https://www.hrw.org/news/2022/02/25/texas-officials-threaten-transgender-children-and-families

On this episode, Lizette shares how raising her trans son has changed her life and how leading with love made her into the fierce advocate and activist she is today. This powerful conversation happens as hundreds of heartbreaking anti trans bills are being passed across the country and our trans community are being denied basic human rights. We hope this conversation inspires you to open your hearts and get more involved in supporting our trans community. You can learn more about the  importance of allyship on Lizette's podcast "I Stand by You with Lizette and Drew".
