  • Summary

  • Meet Jimmy and Megan, a North Carolina couple who may be forced to move their family out of state to safeguard their nonbinary child's health. The Republican-dominated North Carolina legislature passed a series of laws targeting trans and nonbinary youth in 2023. One of those laws bans gender-affirming health care for children. Jimmy and Megan's middle child, who is nonbinary, may need puberty blockers in the next few years. With that option outlawed in North Carolina, the family is looking at other states, where gender-affirming care is protected. But moving means leaving behind friends and family members, a heartbreaking prospect for the family.

    In an audio feature for This Way Out: The International LGBTQ Radio Magazine, Jimmy and Megan discuss their life in Raleigh, the new state laws targeting trans and nonbinary youth, and their efforts to help their child understand and express their gender.
