The moms risking arrest to protect gender-affirming care for trans youth

A local therapist, Larissa Godfrey-Smith, was recently jailed for 12 hours after participating in a protest. She was held in a cell with five other people, where they had limited access to basic necessities. The cell lacked running water and had only one toilet. Godfrey-Smith and the others were fed a single meal, consisting of a baloney sandwich per person, and later received some peanut butter crackers from a guard. As the hours passed, Godfrey-Smith missed her family, particularly her 4-year-old child, and worried about the impact of her absence on them. Further details about the protest and Godfrey-Smith's experience are available from the source, including her personal reflections on the event and its effects on her family.
