Transgender and nonbinary youth in America have been resilient in the face of ongoing attacks for the last several years. While harmful legislation has been passed at both the federal and state-level, trans youth have continued to focus on the things that give them strength, purpose, and joy.
This is why, as part of ACLU’s Freedom to Be campaign, the ACLU of NC is is proud to launch 5 short animations focusing on the happiness of trans and nonbinary youth. Through a series of animations and a children’s book, we are uplifting and highlighting the voices of real trans and nonbinary North Carolinian youth right here in our communities. They proudly demonstrate that no amount of hateful rhetoric or legislation can steal their freedom to be happy.
