| 1626007896571129856 | @RalstonReports John thank you for speaking up. Every family has a different journey when you have a child that needs to transition. That process is different for everyone. All my daughter wants to do is to exist and for her country be okay with her existing. That's it. | 6 |

| 1625945672091373589 | @RalstonReports When my teen came out as trans, I read what experts said. The best advice was: look for INsistence, CONsistence, & PERsistence. Some of those things took time & open communication. It wasn’t like they told me Tuesday, surgery was Friday. Which is how these bigots talk. | 5 |

| 1625981760784801792 | @RalstonReports These "just asking questions" stories from mainstream outlets are tainted by reporters' and editors' own bias.

| 1626025166324260864 | Thank you to Nevada's very own, @RalstonReports, for speaking up for our LGBTQ+ community today with first-hand experience.

| 1625974646255353904 | @RalstonReports Thanks for being a good Dad. My mom's oldest sibling transitioned in the 70s. She was disowned and her father told her he'd ordered a hit on her. I've never met her. More to unpack than a tweet would allow, but I'm glad I follow good people. Good for you, good for Jake. | 45 |

| 1626033980548980737 | @RalstonReports Thank you. My daughter transitioned quietly in high school and was an officer in her GSA. Before her transition we had multiple trips to the ER for suicidal ideation. She has never been more sure of her journey as a trans femme and I cherish our connection thru it | 33 |
