“I’ve Been Proud So Many Times”: A Texas Family Fights the Anti-Trans Laws

Willow Egerton is 13 years old, an aspiring filmmaker, and a trans girl in Texas in 2022—which means that “people in power want me gone,” she says. This week, Willow and her father Owen Egerton sit down with host Brittany Packnett Cunningham to talk about how that feels, and about the joy and celebration of being trans. (Says Owen of parenting: “It’s like when you watch a flower bloom.”) All that, plus Oklahoma’s restrictive abortion ban in this week’s UnTrending news.
