Sex and the City star Cynthia Nixon has revealed that her son, her sister’s kids and her best friend’s kid are all proudly trans during a trans rights protest in New York City.
Nixon joined hundreds of demonstrators that took to the streets of Manhattan to protest after a hospital cancelled at least two children’s appointments to receive puberty blockers following President Trump’s ‘Trans Care’ executive order.
The 58-year-old actor took the mic at the Pro-Trans Children protest to speak about the order and how it ‘cannot happen in New York.’
‘Most importantly, I am here today as the mother of a proud trans man,’ Nixon said to the packed crowd.
‘I am here today as the aunt of a proud trans man,’ she continued. ‘My best friend’s kid is trans and my kid’s best friend is trans.’

‘My wife and I – our lives are filled with the most amazing, beautiful, brave trans people – young and old, but especially young.’
Her remarks come after NYU Langone Health, a leading hospital system in the Big Apple, began cancelling appointments for minors who were scheduled to receive implants that dispense puberty-blocking medication, the New York Times reported.
In June of 2018, Nixon saluted her first-born child, Samuel, who came out as trans two days before the Pride Parade.
During the protest, Nixon spoke about how Samuel had his top surgery done at NYU ‘a number of years ago.’
‘His doctors were fantastic,’ she said during the protest. ‘His surgeon was the best we could’ve imagined.
‘And the idea that this city is filled with young people who thought they had a place to go where they can receive the highest care – and that place has now been shut to them, sickens me. Sickens me to my core.’
