A Colorado couple decided to relocate to New Zealand to protect their 10-year-old trans daughter after Donald Trump's re-election. They feared the rollback of trans rights under his administration, which included anti-trans executive orders and a declaration stating there are only "two sexes." The couple faced panic over their daughter's access to gender-affirming care after learning Colorado hospitals could no longer provide such services to minors. Fundraising efforts through GoFundMe helped facilitate their move after securing a job in LGBTQ+-friendly New Zealand.
"We knew based on the platforms he was running on, and Project 2025, it was a huge indicator of what his next term was going to look like. The fact that they were targeting trans people, the writing was on the wall."
"Trump's declaration that there are 'only two sexes' was incredibly devastating. Our daughter's limitation to receiving gender-affirming care due to the new administration left us in panic."
