Nola Rhea, 17, left, and her mother, Heather Rhea, 47, sit together in a coffee shop on Sept. 26, 2023, in Lincoln, Neb., as they discuss Nola's plans to leave the state of Nebraska next year to attend college following the state's enactment of a law restricting gender-confirming medical treatments for minors. Nola is a transgender teen who says she no longer feels welcomed in Nebraska.
