About this episode
The episode discusses the SCOTUS decision on the Voting Rights Act, the murder of Juniper Blessing, and the importance of gender-affirming care for transgender youth.
In this episode of the Parent Advocate, Lizette Trujillo and Stephen Chukumba talk SCOTUS gutting of the Voting Rights Act, the tragic murder of Juniper Blessing and the horrific response to her death, and criminal subpoenas out of Texas for NYU Langone’s transgender patients. In Allies & Assholes, we celebrate the Colorado Supreme Court for ruling that Children’s Hospital Colorado must resume gender-affirming care for transgender youth.
