Colorado becomes refuge for Texas trans teen seeking care

Episode 351 | 8m 39s

In 2023, we introduced you to a transgender girl named Leah. She was living in Texas with her parents, John and Mary. We concealed their identities because families like theirs faced growing threats. Since then, lawmakers have taken steps to further restrict the rights of transgender people. William Brangham recently caught up with Leah and her family as they wrestled with their next steps.
