Prior to Saturday, Preston hasn’t yet had an opportunity to meet and hang out with other trans people. “I think that’s really important for him to see and be around.” “I think it’s beautiful for him to be able to see especially adult trans people that are living their lives and their full identity and their full truth,” she said. She’s supported other trans kids before, and now she’s doing the same for her son. Rehbein is a therapist who works with area trans youth. The weekend potluck is meant for Duluth’s trans community to gather with family and friends, share a meal and play games. This is the family’s first Pride event since Preston came out to his parents as trans. “I think it’ll be a lot of fun,” he said.
Preston, who goes into sixth grade this fall, is excited for the chance to meet new people.
