Trans Mom vs. Family Court: Justice Sees No Gender at Zephyr Theatre

In 1990s Los Angeles, a transgender musician risks everything— career, family, and identity—to embrace her true self and fight for her daughter. Facing rejection from religious conservatives, an unfaithful vindictive ex-wife, and a prejudiced legal system, she navigates a minefield of custody battles and gender politics. Against all odds, she finds an unexpected ally in the court system and champions a landmark custody case that defies trans stereotypes. Her journey from rock singer to pioneering trans mom not only transforms her daughter’s life but also paves the way for future trans families. As 2025's political climate unravels decades of progress, her story of resilience, maternal love, and societal change has become a rallying cry for transgender rights and family equality.

In 2025, Trans Mom vs. Family Court is more timely than ever, as the current administration attempts to legislate trans people out of existence. But a trans mom is still a mom. Try and stop her!
