We meet a politically divided family, one whose home life has become more hostile since the election. Olive is 22. She's transgender. She lives with her parents in Los Angeles. And her story comes to us as part of a new series called "At Risk in the Trump Era," produced in collaboration with students at the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism. Reporter Renee Gross spent the last few months with Olive and her family as they veered close to tragedy. The family asked us to only use their first names. This story delves into some sensitive themes, so heads up, if you've got kids listening.
