The fact that this family has essentially hidden in their house for the past year shows that this country has a long way to go before trans discrimination is anywhere near over. Yes, there have been huge strides but this family should have been able to be in the press and able to maintain their lives.
Yes. The trend of trans men carrying their own children is happening. It has for a number of years. There are many reasons why this is so. One of the legal ones has to do with concerns over custody. Do they have reason to be concerned? Look at Prop 8. While not a trans specific issue it could signify a roll back of rights that might hit transfolk full in the face. If you believe in equality for all US citizens then I encourage you to fight the hate. If you are in the Bay Area in particular you have opportunities this weekend. Help quiet the Phelps brigade in Alameda on Friday night. Nationally, on Saturday attend the Anti 8 rallies in or near your hometown. Stand up and fight for the rights of all people in the United States.
This is a 20/20 webclip. It is safe for work. There is an annoying commercial before the segment.
