Why Would I Not Want You To Be Trans?

In this heartwarming and inspiring episode, Stephen and Lizette welcome a truly special trio — Michelle, Andy, and 10-year-old Violet DuMont — to the Parent Advocate Podcast!

The conversation dives deep into what it means to parent with unconditional support, how schools are navigating attacks on LGBTQ+ rights, and how Violet’s bright spirit shines through it all. Violet shares her dreams, her inspirations, and what she wants lawmakers — and the world — to know about kids like her.

Stephen and Lizette cover troubling court rulings in the UK, dangerous rhetoric from Trump and Nancy Mace, and glimmers of hope from Montana and Maine.

Stick around for the Allies & Assholes segment, where we celebrate Maine Governor Janet Mills and call out the unacceptable transphobia of Congresswoman Nancy Mace.

This episode is packed with love, laughter, advocacy, and the powerful reminder that trans kids deserve to be celebrated exactly as they are.

Tune in, subscribe, and join the movement to uplift trans youth and their families!
