"My son came out as trans six months ago and his father hasn't looked at him since. Just walks past him in the hallway like he's invisible," the mother wrote in a post published by the X user @crazyvibes_1. "My boy is 17, sleeping on our couch because his dad changed the locks on his bedroom door, said he won't have 'that confusion' under his roof."

At LGBTQ Nation, we give a lot of space to the people who are tearing trans kids down. It's pivotal, of course, to track the movements and policies of a hostile administration hell-bent on using trans rights as bait in its quest for supremacy and power. But what gets lost in all that noise are the others, the people who are lifting trans kids up, the ones who feed them and clothe them and love them every day for exactly who they are.

Fathers often struggle more than mothers when it comes to understanding and accepting their LGBTQ+ children.
