Transgender Day of Visibility: Parents Panel

March 03, 2023

More youth and young people belonging to Gen Z– people born 1996 to 2012– are identifying as LGBT than generations before. This includes the number of people being transgender, meaning their gender identity doesn’t match the gender that was assigned to them at birth. As trans youth and young people become more visible in our communities, you may be asking: ‘How can I best support, love, and affirm a trans child in my life?” The good news is, you’re not alone. Join us on March 30th at 6:30pm-7:30pm MST for a conversation with parents to trans youth across the Mountain Sky Conference as we explore the joys of loving and raising a trans child in today’s world. This conversation will be broadcast on Facebook Live through the Mountain Sky Conference Facebook Page.

This conversation is taking place in honor of Trans* Day of Visibility. TDOV Takes place each year on March 31st to recognize, honor, and celebrate the accomplishments of transgender people. You can learn more about TDOV and find ways to celebrate in your communities through the resources below:
