Gender affirming care saved my son’s life. Before medical transition he often was too anxious to attend school and suffered from suicidal ideation, culminating in an attempt and admission to a pediatric psych ward. After years of HRT and counseling he was approved for top surgery at 16. The day of his surgery was like a rebirth! Finally comfortable in his own skin, his suicidal ideation went away completely and his confidence bloomed. Just month’s after his 18th birthday our state made it a felony to provide gender affirming care to minors. I would be a felon for supporting my son with the care that saved his life.
My family includes several transgender HUMANS. They are wonderful, loving people who deserve to live their authentic lives. Ignorant non medical people should not be making laws to torment the trans community.
Signed by the WIDOW of a transgender FTM, who we, the family lost them to suicide on September 28th, 2022. Every day we grieve and miss them. Transgender healthcare is LIFESAVING care and the rising suicide rates prove it! If abortion rights supporters are baby killers, then trans-haters are suicide facilitators!

No human should ever be marginalized. I have family & friends that I'm very much concerned for their safety & well being in a country that supports so much hate. Love must trump hate!
As a non-binary person seeing trans healthcare and rights be under attack not only hurst me but the rest of my community. It infringes on peoples freedom to be who they want to be and it increases risk of suicide in the trans community. Stoping the hate now is what needs to happen inorder to see a better future.
To attack people who are already discriminated by half of society is nothing but an evil attack from those with an ego to control. To take away rights from others who are different, is making less of them, making less of their humanity.
Obviously medical science outweighs fabricated “research” which has been published anonymously. Gender affirming care for youth has been proven to help the mental and emotional health of said transgender youth. Anti trans laws increase the likelyhood of depression and other serious mental health issues in not only transgender people but also their loved ones and even the lgbtq+ community as a whole. The majority of people are not anti trans/lgbtq+. Oppression of transgender people and their right to access gender affirming care affects everyone who cares about transgender youth. If gender affirming care is blocked due to more anti trans bills being passed based on this report which contradicts valid medical science, suicide rates will go up as well as drug use and even pose a risk for more violent crimes. Including violent hate crimes against transgender youth, as well as the entire LGBTQ+ community ( due to bots being emboldened by anti trans/lgbtq legislation and politicians). And even violent crimes committed by trans/lgbtq+ youth/people who have become distressed and developed mental illness caused by long term discrimination and suffering.
