Annette Bening has opened up about trans rights in a new interview. The Oscar nominee and mother of four spoke candidly to The Daily Beast about her experience parenting her son Stephen, who is trans, saying he "taught me a lot about what it means to be a human being, and be responsive to your own development, and your own notions of self".
Back in September, Bening gave a speech at the Human Rights Campaign gala about trans rights. Further expanding on that speech, she went into detail around what her son, who is now almost 29, has taught her.
