In this video, parents, guardians, and medical professionals come together to advocate for the rights of transgender youth. They share their personal experiences and the evidence-based research that supports gender-affirming care as the only effective treatment for transgender kids.
Medical journals, including pediatric journals, have reported that 98% of trans people start gender-affirming care as teens and continue care as adults. This care saves lives. In fact, 97.5% of youth who identify as trans continue to do so as adults.
The parents who are making these decisions are good parents who are trying to save their children’s lives. They are not asking for special treatment, they are simply asking for the right to make the best decisions for their own children. They plead with lawmakers to hold true to the values of allowing parents to raise the children that they love.
