I am the proudest Mama ever tonight. My city tried to pass an anti-transgender bathroom ordinance. My 14 y.o.twins asked to go and speak at the city council meeting. We were there for almost 4 hours, but they did speak (along lots of others, although they were probably the youngest) and the ordinance was shot down.
I am just so proud of them for standing up for their beliefs and actually taking meaningful action. It is really hard to get in front of hundreds of people and speak, and they did a great job. And a stupid, hateful law got killed before it ever started.

Thank you for raising children who have compassionate others and are willing to stand up for what they believe in.
I can't believe there are people introducing those laws, it is unfathomable to me.

Wow good for them for even going to the meeting. but standing up to speak is amazing. I can't imagine the difference they will make in their lifetime if this is what they are willing to get involved in already.

I understand you're proud of them and rightfully so but you should be proud of yourself too and you did a great job .

GO GIRLS!! You have every right to be a very proud mom! And they should be extremely proud of themselves too! Many adults wouldn't be able to do that. What wonderful strength and character you have instilled in them.
