When the Turmelle family fled New Hampshire with their transgender daughter because they no longer felt safe, some people celebrated. The Libertarian Party of New Hampshire literally tweeted that the more “in danger” trans people feel, the “freer” the state becomes. These are the same people who claim their anti-trans policies are about “protecting children.”

In this episode, Aria breaks down the moral bankruptcy of selective child protection, how “save the children” only applies to certain children, while others are told to be afraid, driven from their homes, and denied medical care. As a transgender woman who understands the impossible choices these families face, Aria exposes the hatred masquerading as love and the authoritarianism disguised as freedom.

We face countless choices every day between love and fear. The people celebrating children’s suffering have made their choice clear. What choice will you make?

This is about more than trans rights; it’s about whether we create a world where all children feel safe, or just the ones who conform to someone else’s checklist. It’s about whether freedom means liberty for all, or comfort for the majority.
