The uptick in anti-trans discourse in politics and schools has gravely impacted the mental health of trans children across the country.
KCUR's Sam Zeff joined Up To Date to discuss his reporting on how one trans middle school student tried to take his own life as a result of these obstacles.
Psychiatrist Micaela Wexler also joined us to provide perspective on this issue from her experience working with trans youth at her practice.
