In 2023, Kirin Clawson’s endocrinologist placed a puberty-blocking implant in her arm, a medical intervention that is associated with improved mental health for many trans kids with gender dysphoria. In February, Indiana joined several other conservative states banning this treatment for minors. In the first of a two-part series, we hear from the Clawson family how the ban has impacted their family. Then we hear from psychologist, Dr. Myeshia Price about how all adults in the lives of children can support gender diverse youth, despite increasing discriminatory anti-trans laws aimed at kids.

GUESTS:

The Clawson family, including Beth, mother and child health worker; Nathaniel, father and project manager; and their children Kirin, Max, and Izzy.

Dr. Myeshia Price is an Associate Professor at Indiana University in the Human Development program within the Department of Counseling & Educational Psychology and Associate Research Scientist with the Kinsey Institute.

Bradford Barrett is an Indiana State House Representative.
