Gender affirming care has saves thousands of people like me, both children and adults. Taking that away from us would essentially take away the lives of countless people.
Trans children deserve care, they deserve to be treated as human beings with dignity and respect. The doctors who support them are saving these children’s lives!
Gender affirming care is the business of no one but the people who need it and the doctors who provide it. And it’s life-saving, necessary care. Care that is scientifically backed and supported by medical and psychological organizations whose responsibility is ensuring quality care for all. Government has no business in healthcare decisions.
To suggest that people living their best lives and being happy is a felony is a slap in the face to everything America is supposed to stand for. Why waste the effort trying to target a minority that just wants to go about their lives, when that energy could be better spent trying to actually help people? There’s no point in making legislation that serves no purpose other than to harm others.
Our future is on the line. We have made so much progress toward equality, love, communication, understanding. And these past several years have been a struggle to stay at that level. People keep trying to backtrack, to maintain outdated thinking that prevents us from growing as a species, not to mention as a culture and community. I do not support such small, narrow minded grasping at power and control. Politics has no place in this discussion.
