Crystal, an eleven-year-old transgender girl from Texas, is featured in the documentary "Crystal: Story of a Girl From Texas." After Texas implemented a ban on gender-affirming care for minors, her mother Beth decided to relocate their family to Illinois and is considering a move to New England for a safer environment. Despite potential backlash for sharing their story, Beth feels compelled to advocate against bullying from politicians, including Texas Gov. Greg Abbott. The documentary aims to shed light on the struggles faced by transgender youth and their families in an increasingly hostile landscape.
I was taught to stand up to bullies. I have a hard time staying quiet whenever I see people being hurt.
We wanted to certainly feature a mother who had a transgender child, because even in 2022 when we filmed that, we knew that [the ban] was going to be.
