The Supreme Court's decision has inspired Alabama to appeal a significant piece of legislation. This could be devastating for my son.
I knew that the overturning of Roe v. Wade would be incredibly harmful for women and other individuals with uteruses, but I didn't initially realize that it could also harm my trans son.'s decision, the state asked the 11th Circuit to overturn a partial injunction to the Alabama Vulnerable Child Compassion and Protection Act. They even cited the Roe verdict in their appeal.
We don't know what this would mean for my 17-year-old son, Phin, as he has already been injecting himself with testosterone every week for the past year. He's physically changing—his voice is much lower and his body has changed shape—but he's also much happier and says he feels more like himself. So what does it mean if that medicine is taken away from him? It could have a terrible impact on his mental health.
Trace Fleming-Trice with her son, Phin, in 2020. Fleming-Trice worries what the recent Alabama appeal could mean for her 17-year-old transgender son. So we waited for two years, which was hard.
