RESCINDED.
THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US. 
>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME. 
>> YOU'RE SO SORRY ABOUT YOUR 
LOSS.
YOUR STORY IS HEARTBREAKING.
WHAT DID YOU THINK LAST NIGHT 
WHEN YOU HEARD ABOUT THIS MOVE 
FROM THE TRUMP WHITE HOUSE?
>> I WAS ABSOLUTELY DEVASTATED.
OBVIOUSLY I ALREADY LOST MY 
CHILD.
I FEEL FOR THE KIDS AND THE 
PARENTS AS WELL.
IT'S ALREADY DIFFICULT AND THIS 
IS GOING TO MAKE THINGS MORE 
DIFFICULT. 
>> LOOKING AT PICTURES OF YOUR 
BEAUTIFUL CHILD.
WHAT WAS LIFE LIKE FOR KYLER?
WHAT WAS LIFE AT SCHOOL LIKE?
>> KYLER WAS A WONDERFUL 
STUDENT, WONDERFUL KID, A 
MUSICIAN.
HE HAD ALWAYS LOVED GOING TO 
SC
SCHOOL.
HE DID COME INTO DIFFICULTIES AT
SCHOOL AS A TRANSGENDER STUDENT.
I WAS ALWAYS THERE TO ADVOCATE 
G
FOR HIM. 
>> CAN YOU SHARE WITH US -- SO 
PARENTS UNDERSTAND WHAT IT WAS 
THAT HE AND YOU WERE 
CONFRONTING, WHAT SORTS OF 
THINGS WERE HAPPENING AT SCHOOL?
>> I TRIED ACTUALLY NOT TO POINT
FINGERS AT EXACTLY WHO DID WHAT 
ANYWHERE, BUT I CAN ASSURE YOU 
IT'S DIFFICULT, AND THAT ALL HE 
WANTED AND ALL ANY TRANSGENDER 
KID AT SCHOOL WANTS IS TO BE 
ABLE TO JUST FIT IN, JUST BE ONE
OF THE KIDS AT SCHOOL, BE 
TREATED JUST LIKE EVERYBODY 
ELSE, AND THAT INCLUDES JUST 
BEING ABLE TO GO IN AND USE THE 
BATHROOM JUST LIKE ANYBODY ELSE.
HE HAD A BOY'S NAME, DRESSED AS 
A BOY, LOOKED LIKE A BOY.
AS FAR AS ALL THE PEERS KNEW HE 
WAS A BOY.
TO ASK A BOY TO GO INTO THE 
GIRL'S BATHROOM, FOR EXAMPLE, 
WOULD BE RIDICULOUS AND WOULD B 
SURE KIDS KNOW THEY'RE SAFE FROM
DISCRIMINATION AND THEY'LL BE 
SUPPORTED. 
>> THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION 
CLAIMS THIS IS ABOUT STATES 
RIGHTS, THAT THIS SHOULD BE AN 
ISSUE THAT EACH STATE DECIDES ON
ITS OWN.
WHAT'S THE FLAW IN THAT THINKING
TO YOUR MIND?
>> THE FLAW IN THAT THINKING IS 
THAT STATES -- IT'S NOT A STATES
RIGHT TO DISCRIMINATE.
THIS IS A MATTER OF 
DISCRIMINATION.
WE DON'T LEAVE ANY KIND OF 
DISCRIMINATION UP TO THE STATES,
SO WHY WOULD WE SUDDENLY WITH 
THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE SAY THAT'S
UP TO THE STATES TO DECIDE?
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
I REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND THE 
LOGIC AND I'M QUITE SURE THAT, 
IF ANY OF THE POLITICIANS MAKING
THESE DECISIONS THEMSELVES HAD A
TRANSGENDER CHILD OR EVEN JUST 
SAT DOWN AND SPOKE WITH A 
TRANSGENDER TEEN AND REALLY 
UNDERSTOOD WHAT THEY'RE
