I spend my professional life helping parents dismantle those narratives when they don’t match who their kid really is. There’s a reason gender reveals are so popular (despite the fact that what’s being “revealed” is really just anatomy). It’s also my chance to sit with uncertainty, which is something parents of trans kids have to do all the time. More than anything, I am just grateful to be pregnant, grateful to get the chance to meet whoever they are. The truth is, I don’t need to know the sex of my baby to know they are already a whole person.

TAOS, New Mexico, Nov 1 (Reuters) - New Mexico became on Saturday the first U.S. state to offer free child care to all residents in a bid to boost its economy and lift education and child welfare levels ranked the worst in the country. It culminates efforts New Mexico has made to expand access to free child care since the governor and state legislature created the Early Childhood Education and Care Department in 2019.

New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani has proposed no-cost universal child care. New Mexico joins countries such as Norway and Belgium that offer free universal child care for children under 3, and Bulgaria, where early childhood education is free for all children until elementary school.
