Equality Texas presents: We Were Children Too

EQUALITY TEXAS presents:

We Were Children Too – A Conversation about Growing Up Trans

2023 was a hard year for our Trans community in Texas. Many of us saw our personhood and identity being challenged day after day.

We saw the far right incessantly screaming “Save the Children” while they were bullying trans children.

They repeatedly painted us trans people as “groomers,” they villainized us, blocked us from telling our stories, silenced us in our OWN Capitol… and they all forgot that we trans adults at one point, were children too.

So join Equality Texas, Friday, January 19, at 6PM at the Esperanza Peace and Justice Center, where we will be having a conversation with Trans Adults who will share stories of the good and the bad in their childhood, what they did to cope and how they survived and thrive in Adulthood.

Because one thing is for certain, whether you like it or not… we Trans Adults, were Children Too.
