Megan explained that she’s kept her kids away from the Internet to limit any influence social media may have on how they view the world and added that they attend a school where “other parents are similar in their beliefs.” 

“So far, we’ve done a really good job and we maintain their innocence in a lot of ways, but I know I can’t protect them forever, though I do have a child that suffers,” Megan said. “So I have a lot of worries about that, because I just wish that humanity was not like this. Although my kid is so brave and my child is so brave and I know that they’ve chosen this journey for a reason. It’s just hard as a mom.”

According to Glamour, Megan was moved to tears when talking about her children, struggling to express how difficult it is to protect her children from judgment and discrimination. While it was difficult to share, she knew she had to because issues of discrimination based on gender expression are important, simply stating, “I have to be honest.”
