Boston, MA - The Massachusetts Transgender Political Coalition (MTPC) announced the release of three new videos as part of their multi-media public education campaign entitled I AM: Trans People Speak.

In honor of Mother's Day, each video features the story and voice of a female parent, some who use the term "mother" to describe their role in their children's lives and for others, transitioning their gender but not their role as a loving and caring parent. All three videos serve as a reminder that transgender people are more than just their gender identities-they are sons, daughters, siblings, children, parents, and mothers.
