Meet Logan Sage Croft

Logan’s professional interests are in psychology with a focus on LGBT issues, particularly as they relate to youth.  She currently works as a TransYouth Advocate, striving toward equality for all.   She hosts TransParent support group meetings, participates on discussion panels at the local university, and teaches workshops to foster parents and social workers in Arizona.  In her efforts at bringing awareness and understanding to people at the macro level, she engages in various media presentations including National Geographic, Dr. Oz, the Arizona Daily Star, the Tyra Banks Show, and others here in the states as well as in Canada and the United Kingdom.  She is currently filming a documentary with Tommy Nugyen of NBC News and pursuing her degree in psychology.  

She enjoys making the most of every opportunity to learn and grow as much as possible.  It is her plan to begin post-graduate studies in 2014.  Once Logan has acquired the knowledge, skills, and licensure necessary to be of greatest benefit to the community, she aspires to work with LGBTQ youth at the crisis intervention level.  She strives to facilitate safe and healthy transitions for youth; it is challenging to “come out” when a child is emotionally and financially dependent upon their parents.   Logan is the mother of one fabulous ten-year-old affirmed female, and the beautiful nine-year-old daughter of her heart adopted from China.  

When her older daughter transitioned from male to female in kindergarten, the school, pediatrician, psychologist, endocrinologist, neighbors, and everyone else was just so confused and resistant to what they didn’t understand.  Upon receiving death threats while living on base overseas, the military responded by moving them back to the states.  Things didn’t improve as much as she’d hoped once they were stateside.  The school does not welcome her daughter on campus, so Logan continues schooling her children at home.
