When Heather Crawford moved from Texas to Minnesota to protect her trans teen, she was ready for a fight

Summary

Nutrition label

68% Informative

Heather Crawford and Cass Crawfords moved from Texas to Minnesota after years of watching Texas Republicans enact increasingly hostile policies targeting trans kids.

They moved to Minnesota in part because of progressive and trans-inclusive policies championed by Gov. Tim Walz .

Walz signed a trio of bills that safeguarded access to abortion, banned conversion therapy and made Minnesota into a “trans refuge”.

The Crawford family moved to Minnesota to live with their trans daughter, Hildie , now 14 , who has since become a leading transgender youth advocate in the state.

Minnesota 's policies and Walz ’s support of trans youth are what ultimately made the move out of state and life after that easier for the Crawford family.
