“He’s a revolutionary”: These famous parents of trans kids embody unconditional love

"There is nothing more beautiful than watching your child feel the joy of exploring what it means to be true to themselves," one actor said.

A growing number of celebrities are not only revealing they have trans and nonbinary children, but are also speaking out about loving their kids for exactly who they are.

Sometimes that love means vocally supporting their journey, stepping up to support LGBTQ+ charities, or moving their family to a safer place. In other cases, it’s as simple as normalizing trans experiences within family structures. As Robert De Niro said when his daughter, Airyn, came out earlier this year, “I love and support Airyn as my daughter. I don’t know what the big deal is, I love all my children.”

Below is a small sample of the many famous parents who show unconditional love to their trans kids. Of course, those named have been open about their personal lives. For some parents, keeping their trans family members out of the media spotlight is a love all its own.

This mom had no resources when her trans son came out. So she launched a global support network.

Roz Keith found out her son was transgender on his terms.

The suburban mom was asking about haircuts, and Hunter, just shy of 14 at the time, texted her some photos. “He started texting me pictures of boys with short haircuts. And I said, ‘Oh, these are very masculine. And Hunter said, ‘Uh huh,’ and walked out of the room.”

It was typical teenage behavior, but the conversation that followed was life-changing, Keith said.

“I went upstairs, knocked on his door, and said, ‘What’s going on?’ And that’s when he told me. He said, ‘I’m a boy. I’m transgender.’ That was how he came out to me.”

“A Person With Parents”: How Sarah McBride and her family stay strong in the face of transphobia

Sarah McBride watched her parents undergo a "beautiful transformation" after learning what it means to be trans. Now she hopes the country can do the same.

Representative Sarah McBride (D-DE) often wonders if her Republican colleagues forget that she has parents.

Would her fellow elected officials still ferociously and publicly demean her if they remembered that the two people who love her more than anything in the world had to hear the insults, too?

It’s easier for them to dehumanize her than to confront the real person behind the political pawn they have reduced her to, she told LGBTQ Nation. It’s why she thinks the same legislators who misgender her and call her slurs on the House floor avoid eye contact when they cross paths with her in Capitol hallways.

AOC assures trans kids they’re not to blame for anything: “You are fine just the way you are”

She acknowledged that it feels like both parties are blaming trans people for everything.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) shared a message of solidarity with trans youth during a recent social media Q&A after someone asked if she had anything to say to them amid an onslaught of anti-trans attacks by the GOP.

“I want to say that I know this time is completely terrifying for so many people, and it feels hard to know where your place is, and especially in politics, where it feels like people in both parties are blaming you for everything that’s happening, I just want you to know that they couldn’t be more wrong,” said Ocasio-Cortez, who is known for her ability to easily connect with constituents and for directly communicating with Americans through social media on a regular basis.

The Trump Administration’s Campaign To Rebrand Conversion Practices Puts LGBTQI+ Communities at Risk

The Trump administration’s recent attacks on transgender people are the latest effort in a decades-long attempt by the far right to mainstream conversion practices—even though they have been thoroughly discredited.

Even though conversion practices have been discredited and are opposed by a majority of Americans, the far right remains determined to bring this harmful practice back into the mainstream. Conversion practitioners have brought legal challenges against state-level bans for more than a decade, and the Trump administration is now actively supporting their efforts.

Trump files “emergency” Supreme Court appeal to unblock his transphobic passport policy

A lower court ruled that his policy was “based on irrational prejudice toward transgender Americans.”

The Trump administration on Friday filed an emergency appeal asking the Supreme Court to halt a lower court order that allowed transgender and nonbinary people to change the sex marker on their passports despite an earlier administration policy denying such changes. It is the 26th emergency appeal the Trump administration has made to the court in the nine months since he retook the Oval Office.
