Why this petition matters

Started by Kris N

Far too many adults learn about life saving transition care for LGBTQ+ and gender affirming care, far too late.

We need to educate high school students on the gender-spectrum in Health Education classes. We cannot continue to teach a system that uses a binary gender construct as it is incomplete, and further alienates and harms our transgender, non-binary, and intersex youth.

In a time when they need our support more than ever, we need to stand up and show them they are seen, they are heard, and they are valid. It would be better to acknowledge their existence and support them in a safe educational environment, rather than for them to continue to experience the derogatory and hurtful interactions they experience in daily life or online, that may be further damaging to their development.

The only way to improve the view of Trans*, Non-Binary, and Intersex people and their rights, is by spreading education, awareness, and empowering our affected youth.

Please, and thank you for your support.
