Trans in Texas: A Family’s Sacrifice To Protect Their Son



Amid a rise of legislation in states across the U.S. aimed at the transgender community, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott in February 2022 ordered the state’s child welfare agency to investigate parents for child abuse if their children are suspected of receiving gender-affirming care. “Dear Noah: Pages from a Family Diary” peers into the life of a Houston family with a 15-year-old transgender son, as they grapple with making life-altering decisions to protect their child.

  1. Even with the economic Inflation😩 I got a $10,000 returns from my $3000 investment every 15 days and I'm so happy right now 😊

  2. As human beings, we can't even begin to comprehend the depths of God's love for us. We have a way of trying to align God's will with our own beliefs.

    One thing God did make clear to even the dullest mind is that we are to "Love one another, even as I have loved you"

    Love…not judge.

  3. The Dad seems so childish.

  4. More detransitioners are speaking out. Give it 10 years and see all the lawsuits that pile up.

  5. Republican politicians are monsters.

  6. I'm glad Noah has art. May the family thrive in Denver.

  7. The child is a female with XX chromosomes.

  8. No one should harm a transsexuals or harass a trans person.

  9. Noah needs counseling and prayer by a pastor.

  10. God doesn't want transsexuals but be loves everyone.

  11. God loves all people. God doesn't condone the transsexuals.

  12. I see they do not show its face. How else are we to see this so called trans boy is a male? More like dress up gone wrong.

  13. Basically if the medications stop IT goes back to being a HER. What an artificial male, no medication needed to be a real male. This abomination should exist in California, or New York not in Texas.

  14. 'g3nd3r-affirming "care"' = snake oil.

  15. Imagine thinking people are 'born in the wrong body'. Then imagine being shocked that a lot of people don't buy that and don't want kids to 'transition' into something they aren't.

  16. This is Obviously Not a Trend. I’m Sorry Noah, It’s HARD Being Different. Even When, You Make Great Compromise and Sacrifice. NYC

  17. Disgusting…They went to so much care to PROTECT their child and yet blast it all over the news media. People are truly disgusting. Attention whores…

  18. This must all be so confusing for these kids.

  19. Shame on Texas for persecuting the LGBQT community and their families!

  20. Texas is fine. It's your country America.
    You support things the very God you praise considers an abomination. Your media pushes an agenda that gives a "false impression of acceptance" when the VAST MAJORITY rejects it

  21. This is beautiful. <3 Noah

  22. The government in Texas is truly the worst 😡

  23. The Bible was not written in America. The reason God gave Noah a rainbow was because Noah laid with his sons? 🤣

  24. If ignorance is bliss why aren't you MAGA cultists happier people! Go away!
