Best of What Next | What Texas' Attacks on Trans Healthcare Did to One Family

As the What Next team catches its breath at the end of summer,
we’re revisiting some of the biggest stories of the year. This
story originally ran on Nov. 9, 2022. What Next will resume regular
programming next week. As Texas laws have become more
discriminatory against trans individuals and their families, many
wonder if they can even stay in the Lone Star State, especially
when parents could be investigated as child abusers for providing
healthcare to their children. This family made the difficult
decision to move to Colorado.  Guests: Katie Laird, social
justice blogger. Noah Laird, high school student. If you enjoy this
