Inside a home on a quiet street in southern New Hampshire, a mom scrubs at dirty fingerprints, food stains and some dog hair on a wall she’s preparing to paint.
It’s one of many projects underway, so the family can sell the home next month if New Hampshire lawmakers approve anti-transgender bills advancing through each chamber.
No one in the family wants to move. Rosie and her husband, Ian, grew up in New Hampshire. Their parents and immediate family live here. The house is on a quiet street with other children for their three kids to play with. There’s a good size yard for chickens, trees just right for climbing and a small creek.

“We’d prefer if New Hampshire stayed a safe place for our family,” said Rosie. “I go between being bummed and depressed about it, and being really pissed off that people don’t seem to understand — these things have real life consequences.”
One of the bills could make it a felony to provide Rosie and Ian’s middle child, Emily, the medication they take to delay the start of male puberty. WBUR agreed not to publish the family’s last name because of the legal risks they could face if this legislation takes effect.
Another bill would let businesses, schools and government agencies require that 8-year-old Emily, who has long blue, or sometimes green, hair and a love of purple clothing with rainbows, use a men’s bathroom. The bills passed the New Hampshire House and are pending in the Senate.
“I don’t think it’s worth living here under that threat,” said Rosie, “so our hands are tied.”
More than two dozen states have already enacted laws that ban or limit prescriptions for drugs that pause puberty and the hormone therapy given to teenagers who want to transition from male to female or female to male. A Trump administration report released early this month is the latest effort to press for that ban nationwide. It says psychotherapy not medications should be the main treatment for anyone under age 19 who identifies as transgender or nonbinary.
The report followed an executive order that said the U.S. would stop funding “these destructive and life-altering procedures.” A judge has temporarily blocked that order, but in the meantime, some clinics have already stopped offering what’s known as gender-affirming care for youth.
Emily’s family, and many like them, are disturbed to find themselves at the center of fierce cultural and political debates.

“It’s just so weird to make really personal decisions in this political climate,” Rosie said. “We’re constantly having to prove to the world that being transgender is real, that it’s not something I’m making up, that my kid has a right to exist.”
About Emily
Emily loves to read, rollerblade, ride a bike, practice the piano and play video games. Some days the passion might be drawing, tumbling, shooting nerf guns, or cuddling with the family guinea pigs or dogs. Emily says they don’t feel like a boy or a girl. “They” is Emily’s preferred pronoun.
“Because it means I can be myself,” Emily said. “I can do what I need to do to let me be me.”
Sometimes Emily’s friends mess up, but they don’t mind.
“I let my friends call me boy or girl because, like, I know they know who I am,” Emily said.
Emily was born with a rare brain disorder called apraxia of speech that made it hard to express thoughts out loud. A speech therapist helped Emily learn to send the right signals to their muscles, lips and tongue. Most people couldn’t understand what they were saying until Emily was about 4 ½. Among Emily’s first requests: a dress.
Rosie, a mental health counselor, and Ian, who works in construction, added dresses to Emily’s wardrobe and books about kids who weren’t specifically a girl or a boy to the family library.
Emily remembers asking at bedtime one night to hear more about being trans. Emily was 5 at the time.
“A few days later, I said, ‘Mom, can I be trans?’ ” recounted Emily in a recent interview with Rosie and Ian on the family couch. As they remembered those early days, Emily lay draped over first one parent’s lap, then the other’s.

Rosie has worked with transgender adults. But she had no idea what being transgender would mean for her child.
“They were telling us that there’s more,” Rosie said, pausing to consider what there was more to.
“To me?” Emily offered.
“Yeah, that there’s more to you. I like that,” said Rosie. “We felt a little out of our league though. I didn’t know what we should be doing and what we shouldn’t be doing.”
“But you supported me,” Emily interrupted.
“We always try and support you,” Rosie said, patting Emily’s leg.
Supporting Emily, and making sure they are safe and feel loved, have become touchstones for Rosie and Ian even as doing so has become more confusing, frustrating and scary.
Emily’s question — “Can I be trans?” — came as a growing number of Republican-controlled state legislatures were finding ways to answer, “No.” It came as gender clinics for children were becoming targets for threats, and as President Trump was pledging to dismantle the “woke agenda,” including transgender rights.
Ian was hesitant himself, at first, about calling his child transgender.
“I felt it was kind of young,” Ian said. “But through research and just being around it, I figured out that you just feel the way you feel, like how I felt straight. You just feel it at an early age.”
Ian is angry at politicians for “energizing people to hate people they’ve never met and don’t understand.” He tries not to ruminate on ways that hate could be turned against his child.
“I feel pretty fearful of the harm and emotional damage to them if they meet the wrong person on a bad day,” Ian said. “But if Emily is happy and safe and feels welcome, then dealing with the politics will all be worth it.”
At age 6, Emily started seeing a therapist in New Hampshire who had some experience with transgender children, and going to a gender clinic for children in Boston. The next year, Emily and Rosie spent a week at a summer camp for trans kids and their families. The family joined a group of families with nonbinary kids to trade information and arrange playdates.

Rosie watched Emily grow into a child more confident, playful and at peace with themselves. But she knew puberty wasn’t far off. Emily’s older brother began showing signs at 9. Emily was clear, they did not want to be hairy like Ian or have a deep voice.
If Emily started developing as male, Rosie worried that “they would be constantly at war with their body.”
A doctor at the gender clinic said the first step to avoid that war for Emily would be to put puberty on hold. Rosie expected to map out a plan for doing that before Emily turned 9 this June. Then Trump won the election and their plans changed.
Starting puberty blockers
Emily, Rosie and Pearl, one of the family guinea pigs, headed to the clinic in Boston the Friday before Trump began his second term.
“I think we got the last appointment before the inauguration,” Rosie said.
Trump signed his order to enact a ban on gender-affirming care for children eight days after he was sworn in. The ban hasn’t taken effect amid a court challenge.
Given the political climate, the family said they made the right decision starting Emily on puberty blockers some months earlier than expected. But it’s not what they wished. Rosie and Ian wanted to choose the best time with their doctor.
“The biggest bummer was being forced to do it then, instead of waiting,” Ian said.
The World Professional Association for Transgender Health recommends pausing puberty after it has started for children who feel intense discomfort with their changing body. Rosie said the benefit of starting Emily while they were still sure they could outweighed any risk because Emily has consistently said they want to look like Rosie, not Ian, when they grow up.
“My kid is very indecisive around everything else in their life,” said Rosie. “So for them to have this be so consistent is — that’s all I need to know.”
On the inside of Emily’s upper left arm, a 1-inch implant slowly releases the puberty suppression medication. The effects are reversible in that puberty will resume when the implant is removed or the medicine runs out. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) says delaying puberty gives children time to explore their identity, get counseling, develop coping skills and learn about future treatment options.

Some research shows that transgender children who received puberty blockers are less anxious and depressed than trans kids who don’t. Other reviews find little impact. The blocker may pose risks for developing bones and fertility.
Many doctors who treat transgender children say bone density catches up when patients resume puberty, as does sperm or egg development if the child continues puberty in their sex determined at birth. If they transition to the opposite sex, they may have fertility problems later in life. That decision is four or five years away for Emily.
“I think about those risks a little bit, but it feels pretty far off,” said Ian. He shrugs and adds the family is, “just trying to get through” the challenges right in front of them.
For the first step of suppressing puberty, published research on the long term effects for bone health and fertility is “limited” and “varied,” according to the AAP. The group still supports the use of puberty blockers to treat children with gender dysphoria as does the nation’s largest group of physicians, the American Medical Association. But the United Kingdom and some other countries have concluded the risks outweigh the benefits and have largely banned their use. The Trump administration points to those decisions as evidence the U.S. should do the same.
Some parents of transgender kids struggle to make sense of competing research and reports in this fraught environment.
“It’s a new science, which scares me a bit,” Ian said. “But the puberty blockers are reversible if Emily changes their mind. So I have comfort in that.”
If Emily does not change their mind, the implant will need to be replaced every year or two until Emily is ready to begin puberty as a girl or as a boy.
Rosie and Ian hear all kinds of pronouncements about how to raise a transgender child, ranging from “just follow their lead,” to “children aren’t mature enough to make such life-altering decisions.”
“There’s a lot of things I don’t follow my kid’s lead on, like if I let them follow their lead on cleaning their rooms, we wouldn’t get very far,” Rosie said with a laugh. “But I’ve learned that there’s a lot of things that our kids actually do really know that I can’t know. And so, I have to trust them.”
In a holding pattern
Rosie needs to finish painting the stairwell a misty, hide-the-dirt, gray. Ian is replastering walls in the basement. Rosie has a spreadsheet of seven cities and towns in northern Massachusetts where the schools seem good, the communities seem welcoming for a trans kid and where they think they could afford a home. Rosie is collecting guidance through webinars and from other parents of transgender children about how to have the “we’re moving” conversations with her three kids.
Rosie gets loaded up with Nerf gun ammunition in preparation for a family battle. (Jesse Costa/WBUR)
The kids have lots of questions. Will the new yard have a treehouse? Will we have to share a room? What school will we go to?
Emily has come crying about a move, worried their brother and sister will be mad and blame Emily. Rosie told Emily the blame will be on state lawmakers in Concord who are afraid of things they don’t understand.
Ian and Rosie have assured the kids they’ll have a family meeting before making any final decisions. The New Hampshire Legislature wraps up business for the year by the end of June.
Even if they move states, there’s no guarantee transgender care will continue to be available for Emily. State health leaders in Massachusetts have pledged to maintain access for kids. But the president’s deputy chief of staff, Stephen Miller, described gender medications and surgery for minors as “barbaric” and “child abuse” earlier this month, confirming the White House’s commitment to curtail if not end it.
Plan B is Thailand. Rosie can work remotely. Ian has trade skills that might be useful there. And it’s a longtime haven for transgender people seeking care.
“I have to plan for the worst so that I can stay and continue to fight,” Rosie said, with a nervous laugh. And Rosie feels sure of what she’s fighting for.
“I want to make sure that Emily knows they are loved, no matter what,” Rosie said, standing in her driveway one afternoon, watching the kids ride bikes. “It’s not their name, it’s not the clothes they wear, it’s not the way they cut their hair, it’s who they are, in their heart.”

I am fascinated by the weaponry of momtok. The Girlies will not wield the reality-Television Classics. No Drink Throwing. No Hair Pulling. No Table Flipping. The Armory of MomTOK is entirely stocked with Language. Only instead of Calling People Cunts, they call say narcissists. Manipulators. Gaslighters. They use more therapy talc than Esther pel, Constantly going on the about boundaries and resentment and intentions. I’m Stack Wondering Whether IT’S A Natural Extension of the Religion they were raissed in, where female Docility is the Gold Standard and Repression is Highly Encouned, Leaving to this Tepid Vocabulary As their Only Defense, or If Its All Just Culture.
Sociological Analysis Aside, All the Therapy Talk Turns Conflict Into Language Soup. I, for One, Would Rather be Called a Whore than a Narcissist, a cheater than a gaslighter. Imagine trying to scheme a Redemption arc and now you have to whip the dsm-5 to say, “i actually only meet three -Fths of the minimum necessary crothery For Diagnosis, and Personality Disorders are Also Wildly Misunderstood, especially those of the cluster-b Variety … ”Whew, no thanks! Let’s be clear, though: i still have next-to-zero mercy for zac.
Alas, We’re Still at Jessi’s House Where Taylor and Chase Are Both gnashing their chewing gum and debating the semantics of their sex dreams. Layla asks chase if he’s happy he got his little moment and tels him to go talk on his stupid podcast. My Biggest Takeaway is that that layla the should talk more. My Girl Has Points to Make and Every One of Ther is Aligned with Momtok’s Mission/Vision/Values.
They Change Locations to the Front Lawn, but not before Chase Touches (pokes? Jabs? The footage is not clear) Demi on the way out to go the Girlfriend. Of Course, This Causes Demi to Go Running to Bret that another man laid his hands on her and – bam! We are treated to a docusoap version of the book of exodus. Taurus Says Chase is going to die on the front lawn, which in this case bares is going to strut in his chippendale’s costume and screen “You just touch my wife?” in Chase’s Face. Jordan’s there for Backup, Screaming “Take Ownership!” Directly into Chase’s Mouth. Both Chase and Dakota eventually leave, but not before the neighbors call the cops.
Inside, Zac and Jen Are Trying to Piece Together What’s Going on. The most I see two interact with oters, the more I am convinced they just swimming very observant of anyding how they are pursue individual and as a couple. Naturally, we next get to see zac squirm while three shirtless men dance in a circle around yen. If you’re thinking “the exposser therapy is complete, no one lost their mind, we can all move on,” boy, will have news for you.
But first, iTi’s trick-or-three Night and Mikayla’s Sisters and Kids link up so they can “SPEND TIME FUN FAMILY” (IE, MAKING TIKKS). They How Mikayla Feels She was a little Harsh About Miranda’s CLOUT-CHSING AT THE HAPPY HOUR, But How Much of this is Because of Family’s History of Angers Until It Boils Over. Wen Learn About Mikayla’s Chronic, Painful Skin Issues and that she was sexually abused for multiple years. Her Husband, dressed as a scarecrrow, rubs her back as she reflects on how Halloween is triggery becauses it is the day she sh) her mom about the abuse and wasn’t believed. Late in the episodes, she goes to a sexual-trauma specialist. They Talk a Lot About Ways Mikayla Can Her Power Back and will a roles-playing Exercise Where Mikayla is supposed to say the things she wished say to her abuser. She’s Uncomfortable. That kind of work is impossibly hard in the best of Circumstances and I can’t fahom doing it with a camera crew present. Genuinely hoping she finds Peace.
Back to zac and yen, they go on a walk, and zac is mad that Demi and jesi made me he-he-ha-ha of the party with giving say an advance heads-up. JUST WHEN YOU THINK HAS HAS A POINT, they roll the tapes Back and show how Demi explained bys’ exact plan and jen said, “I love that !!!!” Jen Gripes About How She Want to Be the Fun Friend But Didn’t Think About How She or Zac Wowing About it, and i’m Sorry, Sweetie, Get It Together. You cannot be out here teling your man he needs to “Consider Your Feelings FIRST” when you don’t know what your Feelings are. All that Being Said, Mr. Optics is Still Mad That He “Looks Like the Bad Guy,” SO Storms off, whining at production to cut the camera.
Next, we get shaky footage of a bike neat while insists zac needs to own up (to something?) And she isn’t going to be quiet (About something?), THEN SHE’S ONLY MOVING INTRAGARY IN THEIR TAKES ACCOUNTABILITY (FOR SMOK). If the “something” is just more of the chippendale’s swirl, i’m going to be so mad. Jen and the People in the edit bay have with imagining that Mr. Long Lost Paul Brother has been up to some serious unholy deeds.
Whitney has her baby, and i’m dying to know who shot what the producers call “whitney’s home video.” There are at Least Six Different Camera English, Many of which are the Same Ones Used Midsommar. Either way, it’s a boy and she is very happy about this blessing, especally SINCE “There’s a Certain Significance in Having This Baby With The Ey Workd SO HAVE to have the Relationship have today.” A Geneerous Way of Explaining That Your Husband Has a History of Being A Little Snake.
Speaking of Babies, all the moms minus whitney and yen, plus a handful of their kids, head on down to ride a ferris wheel and talc About how they do not jen gjcause she lies and ha bad motifs. Miranda Can Relations to Jen Because She Knows What It Like to Have Her Meriage Highly Scruitinized But Zips ITe’s Trying to Wrestle Her Way Back into Momtok. To further this goal, she sites down one-on-ion with Taylor.
Taylor is Holding The Line That The Swinging Went Beyond Miranda’s Reported “Just Kissing.” To get more specific, Taylor Sayys They “Did EveryThing Love island does. ” Nor Love island Scholar, i’d like to point out that that is could be read multiple ways. First, they absolutely fuck on Love islandOften stealthily in the single room where all Cast Metmers Sleep. Second, This Could Be StrICTly Reference to the Games The Islanders Play Where It is sisly just smooching and heavy petting. I am Fairly Certain Taylor means the latter option, events down to the fidelity rules. Onto Love island and on “Mormon Soft Swinging Tiktok,” a kiss in the Group game is not classified as cheating. But Pulling someone for a cheeky chat on the private Love island terrace? Cheating. Pulling someone to talk about your sex dreams at the Gym? Also cheating. Presumably.
If you’re confused, you’re in Luck Because Taylor Cannot Stand Confusion. To alleviat this, she starts detail the sex ACTS. We’ve got everyone fucking their husbands while in the Same Room. We’ve Got Blindfolded “Who’s That Man?” Kissing Games. We’ve Got Taylor and Miranda Putting on Short Shorts, Getting wasted, and Making Out with Each Other (Cute!) While Four Husbands Film IT (LEST CUTE!). Miranda is basically like “sura, you’re not work,” and they aggree to moving on the real friend chemistry. A WIN FOR MOMTOK!
It seames like miranda has a clear path to a spot in momtok, but how does whitney fit into all of this? Why is she still on this show? Well, she Invites Taylor and Mayci to come over and visits her new baby and though she posted her and Mayci’s Texts on the Internet as an example of “How to set a boundary. This is exactly what i’m talking about with therapy talc! I’m no orna Galalnik, but i am fairly certain this is not how how the work. Anyway, whitney absolutely gobbles up the Halloween-Party drama and realities she wants to be back into momtok. I want to be that People can and she’ll be down to take it as much as she dieses out, but i’m going to need a sign from jesus christ to be convinced on this one.
This episode closes with one of the most uncomfortable and painful reality-television momnaries iver witnessed (and don’t forget, we all watched mikayla about sexual abuse mere minutes before). The schene is set for some classic Clear Blue Spon-Con. Jen picks up a test and comes home to take it SINCE SHE’S LATE LATE.

If any movie fits the impossibly idealist version of cannes its participants reach for every year, IT’S JAFAR PANAHI’S A SIMPLE ACCIDENT. Photo: Pascal let segretain/getty images
Nothing Can Stop the Cannes Film Festival, Not Eve A SUSPECTED ACT of Sabotage. The Morning of the Fest’s Last Day, A Major Outage took Out Power Across Southeastern France, Including the Town of Cannes. Traffic Lights Went Out, Stoles Went Dark, and Hungry Tourists and Atthemes Who Hadn’t with Cash Left Thwarted in their Attempts to BREAKUSE the atms and No Place Card Payments. I was in a screening of oliver lax’s rave survival thriller Sirât When, just at the start of its last act, the sound cut out, and then the Screen Went Dark. The Crowd, in Typical Cannes Fashion, Hooted and Holred, but just minutes late, The Movie Had Started Up Again. The Palais des Festival Swapped to an Independent Power Source, and the Show – Including the Last of the Screenings, Press Conferences, Photocalls, and the Closting That Evening – Went on.
LOTS OF FURIUS SPECULATION ABOUT WHICH TITLE WILL THE PALME D’H, The Coveted Top Prize, take place over the fest’s 12 days, but to actually guess, you have to be able to see the minds and the interactions of the jury tasked with awarding. This year, the group was headd up by by juliette binoche, President Actors Halle Berry, Alba Rohrwacher, and Jeremy Strong, Author Leila Slimani, Diudeal Hamadi, Payal Kapadia, Carlos Reygada, and Hong Sangsoo. They gathered on the stages of the lumière while a series of luminaries, Including Cate Blanchett, Substance Director Coralie Fargeat, Almodóvar Muse Rossy de Palma, and an impresivly décollalataged da’vine joy randolph, traiped up to the podium to the Awards. The 87-Yaar-Old Claude Lelouch made an appearans, as did John C. Reilly, who, Fully Commonted to his mystery romantic neo-vudeville, was joined by a surprise guitri for “la vie en rose” that appeared to Mostly Bemuse.
Overall, The Mood Was Celebratory, Gateful, and A Little Sentimental, As You Might Expect From A Group of Ju’ve Just Almost Two Weeks Watching Movies from Around the World, and Drinking Champagne The Secret Agent‘s kleber thinks Philo Claimed he was doing when he was late to the stage to the Prize for Best Director). There was a talk of the power of cinema, theatrical experience, and cannes itelf to bring People together. “I Believe in International Cinema as a Language, an alternative Language of Unification,” Norwegian Filmmaker Joachim Trier, Whose Sentimental Value was a Massive audience favorite, said in His Acceptance Speech for the Second Place Grand Prix. The Startlingly Handsome Laxe, whose nihilistic bang of a movie Shared the Third Place Jury Prize with another standout, Sound of FallingShared a Story About the Possible History of His Own Mixed Background to a Cab Driver. (The Actor-Director is Spanish, was Born in France, and is of Galician Ancestry.) The Driver Responded with a Saying: “We made you from different tribes in order for you to know each.”
“I Applaud the Festival’s Understanding that Cinema Creates Openings for Wider Social Conversations to Take Place,” Blanchett Said Before Presenting The Palme. “Here, these dialogues are encurated to take root where otherwise they risk being hijacked by the self-secretion world of national and personal political ambition.” Is Cannes a sancarity, or is it a Willful Bubble? Despite all the cinematic utopianism on display, it can be hard to say. Certainly, the most pointed Remark During the ceremony pointed to the latter. Palestinian Actor and Filmaker Tawfeek Barhom, Who Won the Short Film Prize for HIS I’m glad you’re dead NowFinished His Speech by Paraphrasing Jesse Welles “War Isn’t Murder”: “20 Years from now, when Visiting the Gaza Strip, try not to think the dead, and have a nice trip.” And yet, it’s hard to be cynical when the final prize was gioven to Iranian Director Jafar Panahi, Who Slumped Down in His Seat for A Long Minute in Astonishment and Joy Being on Stage to Accept For His Film A SIMPLE ACCIDENT.
It was a wonder to see panahi, in sunglasses and overwhelmed, in person at all. Convicted of “Propaganda Against the Islamic Republic,” he was banned from Making Movies, which nevertheless continued to do, and from leaving Iran, a ruling he abided by for 15 years. HIS WORK TRAVELED WITH HIM IN THAT TIME, PREMERING AND WINNING PRIZES AND PLAUDITS AT LIKE BERLIN AND CANNES FE REMEINED AT HOME. Jailed in 2010, he was impressed again around the time that his last film, No BearsDebut at Venice in 2022. But, after a new Court ruling in his favor, all sentenctions against have have been lifted, rendering Him able to travel and officiously able to again, though he shot A SIMPLE ACCIDENT As he’s made all his recent movies – Secretly and Without Government Approval. And if there any movie that fits the impossibly idealist version of cannes its participants reach for every year, it’s this one.
An Incredibly Dark Comedy of Errors, A SIMPLE ACCIDENT is centered on a man named vahid (vahid mobasseri) who becomes convinced that a customer at the garage where he was work is the intelligence agent who Questioned and tortured Him was he was in prison. He, like the man he and oter the de noitius nicknamed “peg leg,” has a prosthetic limb, and a voice that vahid is sura he recognizes. The rub is vahid was always blindfolded during his encounters with peg leg, so after he kidnaps and preparations to the man, he starts to have doubs, gradually accruption a whole of distress, furious, and mournful fellow Victims, Wedding Day, None of the Who Can Agree on What to Next. It ‘subout grapping with how to live with hating been harmed on Such a profound level, and about whether anything – Violence, Remorse, retaaliation – can provide the cluster its characters Long for. It ‘s deeply angry but also ruefully human movie. Its also a means for its author to delve into his ophtreatment at the Hands of the Iranian Government, and any festival that has the sense to give it an award is demonstrating its. It was a good choice, for a very good year at cannes – an event that no one should attempt to stop.
