Arizona moms are leading in activist efforts to defend the gender transitioning of their children and others.
These moms showed up in full force on Wednesday outside the U.S. Supreme Court as it heard United States v. Skrmetti, challenging the ability of states to ban child gender transitions. The moms had their gender-swapped or “genderless” children and (sometimes) husbands in tow. The moms had their children miss school to march the frigid D.C. streets.
Three Arizona moms sat down for an interview with CNN amid the protests: Michelle Callahan-DuMont, Hazel Heinzer, and Lizette Trujillo. Callahan-DuMont’s son identifies as a girl, Heinzer’s two children identify as nonbinary, and Trujillo’s daughter identifies as a boy.
In a viral moment captured by CNN, DuMont’s 10-year-old son, “Violet,” told the outlet he was worried he would be “murdered” while out in public for what his parents had done to him.
“That one I’m going to be walking down the street and somebody’s going to come up and, like, shoot me or something,” said Violet.
DuMont’s parents, Michelle Callahan-DuMont and Andrew “Andy” DuMont, told The Daily Signal in an interview while protesting in front of the Supreme Court on Wednesday that they began raising their son as their daughter at around one year old.
Andy DuMont is the communications director at the University of Arizona, where he received a PhD in American Literature. Several decades ago, he was a lead coordinator for the AIDS Foundation of Houston.
Callahan-DuMont claimed that their son was the one who told them that he was actually a girl when he first began speaking. With legislation in the works to ban the gender modification of minors, Callahan-DuMont says they may have to move.
“We’ve discussed having to move, which we don’t want to do, but Violet comes first, her medical care and her medical needs come first,” said Callahan-DuMont.

Callahan-DuMont teaches at Rincon High School within the Tucson Unified School District (TUSD), and has taught 8th to 12th-grade students for over a decade. Callahan-DuMont has also been an advocate for advancing transgender and other LGBTQ+ ideologies among minors in schools.
In 2020, Callahan-DuMont led the charge on a petition for TUSD to allow children to change their legal names to their preferred transgender names without parental permission in online learning platforms. The TUSD board conceded to the activist push unanimously.
Callahan-DuMont was one of over 17,000 educators who signed a letter to President Joe Biden in 2021 advocating for gender transitions for minors.
Heinzer brought along one of two of her “nonbinary” children, “Dylan,” to Wednesday’s protest and CNN interview. Heinzer is a Tucson-based marriage and family therapist with La Frontera Center. Heinzer has also served as a board chair for the Tucson nonprofit, Our Family Services.
Heinzer’s husband, Christoph, is a director for TeraHive, a Taiwanese optoelectronic semiconductor and power management company dedicated to sustainability.
Trujillo’s daughter, 16-year-old “Daniel,” also spoke to the crowd of protesters on Wednesday outside the Supreme Court. Trujillo runs an art studio and volunteers with the Human Rights Campaign and Southern Arizona Gender Alliance; her husband, Jose, is an artist.
Trujillo has advocated for including LGBTQ+ ideology within public school curriculum. She also launched a lawsuit in 2020 against Arizona law requiring sex changes in order to change one’s gender on their birth certificates. In August, a federal court overturned that Arizona law.
They have indoctrinated that child since he was one YOA. Why? Probably because they are mentally ill or because they want to be stars in their own melodrama. It is child abuse, and the child should have been removed from their care years ago.
We should pray for these people. They believe lies with their whole heart.
These parents are mentally ill. The headline for this article is offensive. It should have read 4 Arizona moms are Protest Supreme Court Trans Ban Case With The Children They’ve Transitioned. The 99.9 percent of Arizona mom’s would never support the mutilation of any child.
If someone wants to change their gender as an adult, that’s their business, but children who can’t even decide what they want to wear to school tomorrow, have no business making such a permanent life altering decision. If you ask that child what they want to be when they grow up: one week they want to be a fireman, the next week a policeman, next week a pro baseball player etc. Once these hormones are given and surgeries start there is no going back.
Seems we’ve gotten to the source of theproblem here in Tucson.
These mentally ill parents have corrupted the innocence of their child as well as God know how many others in the community, since they have been involved with public education for over a decade.
“Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea. Matthew 18:5-6
That’s horrific. Children count on their parents to instruct them in right and wrong, correct and incorrect, whimsey and reality. What these loons are doing should be offensive to anyone with any sort of a moral compass.
. . . and those two parents are AZ Public school educators – God help us.
If you propose a child do anything and keep it secret from their parents you’re a groomer and a predator. <— Period!
This is all just Wrong. The fact also that these so called “parents” are actually in schools “Teaching” is alarming. More casualties to come because they are spreading their disease thru schools. I struggled growing up Gay, but The dread to think that my parents could have been so screwed up that they would think that that meant they must “Lop IT Off” “To Help Me” without any concern for me. These people need serious help/institutional help. Save the children for Gods sake.
BTW, I forgot to mention in my earlier post that the idiots are from Tucson and one works for TUSD. Is it any wonder Tucson is the sewer of AZ?? Thought not.
These aren’t mothers. These are criminals.
This is clearly Munchausen’s syndrome by proxy. These parents who are in an education system as leaders should be treated most severely! God have mercy on these children who are now medical patients for life.
Enough of the BS! Parents who encourage and allow their children to be mutilated in any way, shape or form, need to be charged with child abuse and be legally held accountable for their actions!
The worst kind of child abuse imaginable!
I have no sympathy for parents that do this to their children. Perpetrating irreversible physical changes on them when they’re too young to understand the lifetime consequences is nothing more than child abuse.
Well, well. I see the virtue signaling unit is out today and crying about the dying trans movement. What a joke these parents are and all to point to their neighbors and friends, see, I got a trans kid. I talked them into transitioning so we could load them up with drugs, butcher them with surgery and send them to a mental institution to prevent suicide all before they are 30. What great parents we are!!!
Thank you for exposing this insanity. It IS insanity.
Put these “parents” in prison for irreparable child abuse. How about some rights for people in favor of civilization?
These people are mentally ill.
These parents should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. For mutilatong their kids. What if these kids turn 20 and realize that it had been a mistake. These surgeries and drugs should not be used on kids under 21 years of age
Talk about child abuse, why hasn’t protective services stepped in and removed these kids?
These poor children would never have considered such a drastic measure had the idea not been planted in their young minds by attention-seeking mothers. Sickening child abuse.
agree 1000%
agree 1000% they’re still not old enough to understand what ‘mommy dearest’ has done to them
