The subject matter: trans youth healthcare
Film:
Just Kids
In states where gender-affirming care is banned, three families face an impossible decision: remain in their home states, where their whole life is and risk their child's health and safety or uproot their entire lives and leave everything they know behind? Through a deeply personal lens, Just Kids reveals how these laws and rhetoric are part of an age-old strategy to rally a political base by targeting marginalized communities.
Subject Matter participated in Just Kids screenings at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival.
Nonprofit:
Campaign for Southern Equality
The Campaign for Southern Equality is working to build a South where LGBTQ+ people are equal in every sphere of life. Their Trans Youth Emergency Project helps families navigate the complex and exhausting healthcare maze created by cruel laws banning best-practice gender-affirming care in 27 states across the country. They provide families of transgender youth with support navigating attacks on healthcare access for trans young people and emergency grants to help them travel for care.
