- A project more than a year in the making by American-Statesman journalists, the documentary "Existing as transgender in Texas," spotlights the stories of nonbinary and transgender children as well as their families in a state that is weighing removing access to gender-affirming care for them.

If they want to ban drag shows or being around trans, then kids should not be subjected to religion too!!!
And yet they still say trans people are 'indoctrinating' children
It there choice at the end of the day. It doesn't effect anyone. Just get over it people. 🏳️🌈🌈⚧
It effects the children who's lives are ruined because they were brainwashed into believing they were trans just because they were being kids. Puberty blockers, hrt, surgery ALL RUINS their lives whether they turn out to be trans or not. You HAVE to experience your natural puberty for so many reasons, including the proven FACT that your brain can't finish growing if you start before you're 25. Your bones, your genitalia, your ability to have an orgasm when they're old enough to know what that is.. all destroyed for the sake of being woke. Stfu.
Sincerely, a REAL TRANSMAN who's done more research on this than ANYONE who supports child transition.
@@DarkRecluseI do believe there is nothing wrong with transgender. However they should wait until their bodies have stop devolving.
I had no choice when my trans friend confessed their love for me. They knew I was straight and was dating. I turned them down and was called a transphobic nazi. You have to walk on egg shells with these people
I just wonder what happened, it was all going well and good for the LGBTQI community, and then all of sudden they whole country turned on them one state after another like slamming the brakes on them super hard and then taking it all back and taking away what they worked so hard for all of them years, then taking away all of their rights. It will be really bad on them just forcing them to be something they don't want to be. I wished God would let people just pick what gender they want to be before they are born it would make it easier on everyone.
@a.h.s5152 Gender identity hijacked LGB community. What was about gay rightshas over time turned to gender ideology. People outside of the community are super sceptical since are being told there are over 70 genders and are completely fluid. Unfortunately, LGB took these gender obsessed people under their wing, and now are thanklessly caught in the crossfire. Gay people don't demand strangers to address them in ways that go against their beliefs or common sense.
apparently as the only trans person in these comments, that i see anyways, i have to say that this is not a cult. this is not grooming. i grew up christian and homophobic/transphobic. but there was always this depression, this sadness, in me. as i grew up and i started puberty, it only grew. i self harmed. i tried to commit. i thought dying was a much better alternative as to living as a girl. im 18 now, on testosterone, and so SO much happier. we are not “indoctrinating your kids”. we want them to be safe, to be happy. - a trans man in texas
Nobody is born in the wrong body. If you were born female you were born in the right body and taking testosterone is harming you and your fertility. Trans is a cult and you have been brainwashed.
You had a traumatic childhood, clearly, and I'm sorry. Testosterone won't heal your pain (which is real, and I really am very sorry) though.
@sia9907 gee thanks for that helpful input random internet stranger! Thank God for people like you who know whats bestbfor everyone else!
@@sia9907 it's literally been proven that gender affirming care lessens the pain of gender dysphoria a shit ton.
-another trans person in texas
@@sia9907 You clearly know whats better for me than myself, thanks!
Don’t care=pass.
Much the same as anyone else. Bills to pay, job to show up to, taxes, varied social life.
Just more mammals converting oxygen to carbon dioxide, eh?
throughout history and even today there have been and are many different cultures and groups of people with more than two genders and the society works fine. I dont know why these people act like the west is the only place that exists and our ways of living and expressing self is the only way. Why cant we just let people live and keep it pushin, not everything gotta be so difficult. like i get somepeople wanna be in the cool kids club or feel exclusive or better than people cause their own subset of beliefs and morals but youre not😂. we all just on this rock trying our best
These are small children the parents are 100% to blame here and should have DFS at their door soon. I Feel bad for the young children with unstable parents
It's awful that the first family is fleeing the state because they're going to investigate them for child abuse. That's like pleading guilt.
I am absolutely for trans rights but not irreversible, dangerous, medical hormone therapy for kids. By all means, raise your kids according to the gender they feel they belong to but such a serious, lifelong medical change should not be done until they're mature to fully understand it and be evaluated by the professionals and legally give their consent
kids dont get to undergo gender affirming surgeries. they can take puberty blockers, but that wont change their body like testosterone or estrogen. where i live (not in usa) trans individuals get to start taking testosterone/estrogen when they are 18, although in rare cases they can start at 16 or 17 if it is deemed absolutely necessary. you also cant just walk into a pharmacy and ask for hormone replacements and theyll give it to you. you must have been talking to a professional about making that decision for a few years before they consider it.
trans kids dont get surgeries or hormone replacements. but they can of course change their names, pronouns and the way that they dress and their hairstyle:) no sane doctor would ever perform these surgeries on kids. i hope this was informative and helpful.
Man I wish it was as easy to get hrt as conservatives think lol
This is insane.
I Guess There's Alot of Money to be Made with Multiple Surgeries and a Life on Pharmaceuticals
most trans people don’t get any surgery. the rest of the meds are no big deal. birth control can be more cumbersome than hrt.
all y’all have is fear mongering.
but not the gun lobby?
@@caatabaticI love the gun lobby!
It's so heatbreaking how these families have been dehumanized. I remain hopeful America will recognize this as cruelty and move beyond this dark moment.
These parents are revealing why their children need protection from gender ideology.
@@JeffAikers Being trans is not a choice
I feel compassion for these confused children, however, in most cases it's the parents pushing this on their children. So sad to see children being groomed by so called, but less than sane parents. When adults have issues, so goes the children....
This is abuse and has gone way too far. There was no need for a bill or law for what was already in existence since the beginning of time. Now we have a parade of people who have made this into a clownish type of movement where kids don't believe they are safe. Why did they need to show international bravery and create a cancellation of one true gender due to a self hatred and dysphoria? I grew up in the 60s through 80s, children and adults were excepted and no one really cared or bullied them. My sons are in their 30s and 40s, they have friends who were into same sex and no one cared. Why the big deal now? Smh.
I agree, it would be so nice if anyone mind their own business. And people reading this : "don't come with the society costs of supporting transgender persons". Because, if someone got sick because of alcohol, or cholesterol, diabete, no one cares and people just remain silent... Even if it costs as much ... People should all be free to do whatever they want to and live in happiness.
Spoken like someone who wasn't actually LGBT in the 60's through the 80's.
Doubt I'll ever get a documentory for existing straight in Pennsylvania. :(
Are you being murdered or raped for being straight?
Less than 1 out of 10 people is a member of lgbtq group and it's even worse for trans people. They are like just a quarter of that group. So, that's 9 people for straight and only 0.25 people for trans. Let me put it in this perspective for you to understand, you are complaining about this is like a 9yo brother is making a big fuss because he's not getting the same attention, help and protection as his 3 months old brother do. When the role is reversed and you become the minority, then you can demand all the attention, help and protection you need. But until then please be quiet and keep enjoying your ignorant straight privilege.
It must be SO HARD to be a straight person...
@@connor5669not really. Now we can use female restrooms and locker rooms 😂 Sometimes we turn off the light switch when girls are in the stalls at school. They get mad, but there's nothing they can do 😂👍
I am pretty sure there are documentaries about pedos out there.
9:00 Hell naugh! I understand if a kid feels this way from their prospective e but when the mother is influencing them towards this path, he’ll no!
💯
Listening to these parents is sickening. Can you say Munchausen by proxy!
It's a mess out there....
Why does a person who transitions to a woman have to mean my gender changes to “cis”?
Because the world doesn't revolve around you and its helpful to have a way to talk about various groups of people?
@@TacticalGamingFool Said the white guy who's never been abused and discriminated against by society.
“cis” isnt a new word, a quick google search would tell you that. cis and trans are both prefixes(you literally learn about this in school)
so your gender doesnt change to “cis”, its just used to describe your gender identity.
hope this helps
It's so that we can refer to non trans people without othering trans people and vice versa
It's like one of those dreams when you know it has gone too weird and realise it's a dream. But I can't seem to wake up 😑
You all look silly,.,👓
wow. why do you hate?
This is disgusting and I consider a child abuse. I can see if you're 18 years old and still messed up then transition but for parents to do this so early an age I think it's sick.
It is child abuse to trans a child.
@@rl7012they don’t make a kid trans be fr it’s not child abuse . Trans youth deserve gender affirming care .
@@blank3369 It is child abuse. You support child abuse. Shame on you.
@@rl7012 it’s not child abuse lmao
@@blank3369 How is lying to and medically mutilating children not child abuse?
It should be illegal. You are hyper sexualizing children at a young age.
I say it should be legal to change a child to the opposite gender trans men do menstruate
Youre the only one sexualizing kids that I see
As if straight people don't do that shit. Have you seen some of the LITERAL BABY CLOTHES that say shit like 'be honest does my bum look big in this?' Or 'I came from nuttin' seriously dude.
You needa be put on a list
"Self acceptance is the most beautiful thing anyone can be blessed with."
Good for you, so why are we expected to accept something you are not so your happiness trumps our discomfort?
Why do you watch these videos then? Just move along and that's that. Don't accept them. Just stop being a dick. Why is that so tough?
@@Anna_RetroSynthProbably to speak out against bigots like yourself :)
What about what’s fair for bio women on that sport guess they don’t matter rt
Nope only fake trans people matter. The real trans people are sitting with the non-trans people agreeing with them, but not screaming like the fake ones.
yall never cared until you discovered trans people in sports.
Trans women have no biological advantage in women's sports. Multiple studies have been done to prove this.
I agree, they should leave the intersex alone, the Lord made them for a reason to show the world that there are more then just two genders that exists in the world. They should be left alone and not cut up it should be left up to them to decide.
Yes there is something so very very wrong.
Thats jusy crazy; demanding that people refer to you as they/them but yet you have the freedom to call yourself I/me instead of we/us.....the audacity!
I wished the Lord would let people pick the gender that they want before they are born it would make it easier on everyone.
I heard they still make transwomen register for selective service when they turn 18 since they were born men males.
The transmen don't have to register for selective service since they were born women from what I seen.
You pick who you want to be before you are born.
How would that change anything. A 0 seconds old child would make a completely arbitrary decision
@@MrAgmoore no? Thats not how any of this works otherwise id be a girl by now.

This documentary makes these parents look very cultish.
How about they show all the trans women who have been housed in female prisons. How about the highlight the girls and women who’ve been attacked by trans women. How about they highlight the fact that NORWAY SWEDEN, THE UK, and FINLAND have rolled back on gender affirming care because of the negative impact it was having on kids. How about hey talk about Autogenyphilia and it’s role in trans rights.
Misinformed L
Trans WOMEN in FEMALE prisons is not a bad thing, also is is literally just about texas
Hey
This is the great thing about the United States! You are free to move between states and not subject to laws under a single, central government which may be oppressive or not represent your best interest. It has always been that way...prior to the civil war some states were against slavery, others established fair trade weights and measures, others had woman's suffrage...the list is a long one of things before the slow moving fed ever gets its act together...it is there for basic things only and a place for the state's to slowly argue it out

GREAT job USA today , ❤️❤️👏👏
great documentary
If you are 18 transitioned, if you’re not then that’s a bit more of a dangerous topics you want to go into
Thank you USA Today for creating this and shedding light on our experiences

Omg
Bwahaha, what exactly is the "oppression" here?
States are seeking to ban transgender healthcare, for people are hormones that medication is very important, life saving. The threat of that being taken away would terrify anyone. Meanwhile people are casting transpeople as perverts and pedos l, trying to ban them from using public facilites while in reality its the trans people at the greatest risk of being assaulted etc. Being trans is hated and mocked at every turn in society. Hatemongers spread genocidal level of dehumanizing antitrans propaganda and misinformation daily
Maybe the rampant transphobia happening? The fact that lgbt kids in my school are getting harrased just for not being straight? The high suicide rates of lgbt people because of how much hate they get? Serio7sly if you can't find any examples of oppression you are not ok.
A lot of disproven activist talking points being recycled here.
GOOD! NOW START ARRESTING PARENTING, DOCTORS, AND ACTIVISTS!
No?

Hmm I can’t believe the first mother- she’s like that tiktok meme of when ‘my kid said this extremely poignant thing’- this is dangerous parenting- You’re the parent, but youre letting your child tell you & also drag queens- why do you want to perform to kids? It’s weird,
Yet my ancestor who is unfairly Hung back in the 1800s still get no recognition not to mention all of the land that was stolen from my family in Texas. We still don't get no recognition.
WTF does that have to do with this? That's a whole other story.
I feel bad for you it these are some completely different topics
Drag persona? This is taught. Children at this age wouldn't be thinking sexually if adults weren't involved in their indoctrination.
No it isn't. Kids my age would still be thinking sexually if nobody told them about anything to do with this.

DEAR TRANS.. COMMUNITY,
Don't tell me; I have to accept you for who you are; when you couldn't even accept who you were!
Dude calling someone what they want to be called is not a big deal on behalf of all of the trans community, we know who we are just as much as we all know you need to shut the hell up.
God made male and female….We as people with souls should stay the way God made us
