THE DADS:
CHOOSING LOVE
OVER FEAR
The Dads Foundation is a national community of dads showing up for our transgender, nonbinary, and gender-expansive children through connection, storytelling, and action.

THE FOUNDATION
The Dads Foundation began with a simple need: fathers looking for one another in moments of uncertainty, fear, and love. Before there was a film or a foundation, there were quiet conversations—dads asking hard questions and learning how to show up for their kids.
Today, that connection has fueled a national movement turning personal journeys into public impact through storytelling, events, and community.
THE FILM
Inspired by the Emmy®-Award-winning NETFLIX short
The Dads feature documentary follows fathers across the country as they navigate parenting, advocacy, and the emotional realities of raising transgender and nonbinary children in America.
This film is more than a story—it’s a cultural tool for shifting hearts, challenging fear-based narratives, and making visible the power of dads who choose love out loud.
THE STORIES
The Voice of Dads: Where fathers’ stories become community.
Every dad’s journey is different—but no one should have to walk it alone. Through essays, videos, and conversations, The Voice of Dads captures what it really looks like to show up.
