Colorado Family Relocates to New Zealand Over Transgender Rights Fears

News summary

A family from Denver, Colorado, relocated to Queenstown, New Zealand, out of concern for the safety of their nine-year-old transgender daughter, Chase, following President Donald Trump's re-election in 2025. On his first day back in office, President Trump signed an executive order defining only two genders, which the family saw as a direct threat to transgender individuals, particularly youth, prompting them to act within 24 hours. Parents Brandon and Candace, who support their daughter's identity, feared increasing hostility and potential persecution under the new administration's policies. Encouraged by a friend who had previously moved to New Zealand for its progressive values, the family started planning their escape to ensure Chase's mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Brandon secured an immigration visa through a job opportunity in the alcohol industry, allowing the family to make the substantial move. Chase, while initially hesitant about the move, expressed gratitude for her parents' protective decision.
