Is Nashville Safe for Trans Kids? 2 Moms Explain Their Choice To Stay or Go

Is Nashville Safe for Trans Kids? 2 Moms Explain Their Choice To Stay or Go

In December, the U.S. Supreme Court heard a challenge to SB1, a 2023 bill passed by Tennessee’s Republican-led state legislature that bans the use of puberty blockers and hormone therapy for transgender youth. While SCOTUS isn’t expected to rule on the case until later this year, parents here in Nashville are already dealing with the impacts of that law and other pieces of anti-trans legislation that have passed in our state. Today, host Marie Cecile Anderson speaks with two local moms, both of whom are raising trans/non-binary/gender-queer kids: Lindsey Patrick-Wright, whose family has chosen to stay in the Nashville area; and Taylor,* who recently relocated due to fears for her child’s safety. Are you being personally impacted by a local or national news story? We want to hear from you! Email us. *Taylor is an alias, per the guest's request Want some more City Cast Nashville news?
