The first families left as soon as they could, emptying homes and pulling out of school after Tennessee banned gender-transition care for their children.
Even some who have stayed say they have not ruled out the possibility of leaving Tennessee in the future, as the stakes feel impossibly high for families.
Kristen Chapman, who left Tennessee with her teenage daughter, expressed that it feels like a natural disaster, stating, 'you have to go into this whole different way of being.'
'If your child comes to you and says, This is who I am, this is what I need,' your job as a parent is to support them in that,' remarked Kristen Chapman.
