Listen up as Emmy Award winning host Donna Rossi talks with Kim Pearson of Trans Youth Family Allies (TYFA) about their work in advocating for the rights and welfare of transgender youth.
A quote from Kim Pearson, the president of TYFA, on transitioning 5-year-olds (from about halfway through the audio piece):
The biggest concern people have -- and even some of the "experts" ... -- but the experts will say that there are risks involved in letting a child that young transition. And, my answer to that is that there are equal risks involved in not letting a child that young transition.
