Don't you dare tell me this is about "protecting children."
Youth who receive gender-affirming care are 73% less likely to die by suicide.
Guess what that means about kids who don't have access to it.
Kids whose names, whose identities, whose pronouns, whose HUMANITY are respected can THRIVE, not just survive.
Guess what that means about kids whose identify and existence are invalidated by everyone around them.
If you really cared about protecting children, you'd be fighting FOR gender-affirming care — a practice endorsed by every major medical organization in the world — with every breath in your body.
This isn't "just politics."
Don't you dare tell me your vote "isn't personal."
