About TransYouth Family Allies

TransYouth Family Allies empowers children and families by partnering with educators, service providers and communities, to develop supportive environments in which gender may be expressed and respected.

We work to create a society free of suicide and violence in which ALL children are respected and celebrated. Specifically, TransYouth Family Allies will work to:

Educate and inform schools, healthcare professionals, daycare centers, courts and legal representatives, child welfare agencies and communities about discrimination on the basis of gender identity or gender expression.

Eliminate harassment, oppression, and violence motivated by ignorance, fear, and hatred of transgender children and youth.

Work to inform citizens, including legislators about advances in medical science and current standards of care with regard to the legal status of transgender and gender variant children.

Work to form alliances with organizations and individuals to help achieve support services for the transgender and gender variant children of America, so that they and their families may find the services and support that they need to live their lives free of harassment and obstruction.
