Tell that to the parents who are scared for their children’s lives after seeing trans people being bullied, attacked, and murdered across the country just for existing, tell that to the trans people who have to live in fear every day knowing that their fundamental rights are being ripped away by politicians who don’t even know a single transgender person.
These anti-trans bills aren’t meant to help kids, they’re preventing kids who need the care from getting it. And they won’t stop at banning healthcare for trans youth or banning schools from discussing LGBTQ+ topics. The goal is to stigmatize and spread misinformation, which is why we need to stop all of these bills in their tracks.
Yet every time I look at the news, I see anti-transgender politicians whipping up a frenzy about how terrible it is that kids are learning about what it means to be
transgender, or even that we exist at all.
