Hateful families are the elephant in the room for queer youth. The defensive approach taken in the States that is all but "let the parents and only the parents decide about their kids' care" sacrifices those of us with hateful and unsupportive families. Trans youth will never thrive as long as minors keep being considered their parents' property.
