All individuals should be embraced for their authentic selves. However, a surge in politically motivated efforts is threatening the identities of LGBTQ+ individuals, with transgender and non-binary youth at significant risk.
Transgender and non-binary youth should never have to choose between their authentic selves and societal acceptance. The transition journey is a deeply personal process, guided by trusted healthcare providers and loving families. Together, they navigate age-appropriate changes, ensuring that every decision is made in the best interest of the child.
We unite against the harmful rhetoric perpetuated by groups like the ironically named “Do No Harm,” which seeks to politicize healthcare, undermine the supportive networks that empower youth, and deprive our youth of access to medically necessary care. The Human Rights Campaign’s commitment is clear: we believe that access to medically necessary healthcare uplifts every individual.
As we confront these political bullies and harmful rhetoric, we ask you to join us in advocating for the dignity, respect, and healthcare access that all individuals deserve. Together, we can ensure that every young person has the opportunity to embrace their true selves without fear or discrimination. Let’s be united for a future where all identities are celebrated and supported.
