My name is I live in Tennessee.

I've got four kids and my wife and I decided a few months ago that we needed to pack up and move.

We actually feel like asylum seekers in our own country.

Our hope is that in Connecticut the powers to be will be able to protect us.

We're leaving all our friends behind.

We've been here for 13 years.

All our family lives in the South.

We'll be a thousand miles away.

I don't know.

The whole thing is heartbreaking.

My wife cried a bunch this morning

because we're going to do a big farewell party this afternoon

and do a little country boy and say our goodbyes.

All the best.

Since coming into office, President Trump has thrown the full weight of the federal government

behind denying the very idea of transgender identity and pushing to prevent transminers from

getting gender-affirming medical treatments.

In the middle of all that are families, scrambling to figure out how to best support their

children without

becoming targets of the government. Today, we talk to one of those families. It's Friday, November 21st. I'm guessing that their house is this one with the trans flag.
