Even though Chiara made her Boston Globe via Getty Images

and social media for just a few
weeks, Denise wasn’t worried.

“The trans thing sounded like it
was going to be the next big civil-

said Denise, who lives in North
Carolina. “I didn’t know much
about it.”

But when Chiara immediately
began talking about undergoing a
medical transition, which can in-
volve puberty blockers, cross-sex

got nervous. Chiara wanted a
mastectomy, or what is called
“top surgery.”

“I knew something wasn’t right
because this came out of no-

what kind of clothes or hairstyle
my kid wanted to wear. I sup-
ported all that. The medical inter-
vention is the real issue. I scoured
the Internet for help but there
was nothing out there. I was
screaming into the void. But there
were no groups out there to help.”

So she started one, called 4th

question the more extreme as-

trans kids, a population that
started to explode in 2015, accel-
