Take the Pledge: Support Trans Youth Now
The Supreme Court is hearing from families and doctors challenging a Tennessee law that bans hormone therapy for transgender people under 18. Medical care like this is a critical part of transgender people’s freedom to be ourselves, and decisions about medical care should stay between families and their doctors. But in just the last three years, politicians have put over 100,000 trans youth at risk of being denied this care by bans targeting them, their families, and their doctors.
This is a fight for the fundamental right of all people to be themselves–to be respected, to be loved, and to be given a chance to build the future they and their family deserve. Support from their families and their doctors is a critical part of helping transgender adolescents succeed in school, establish healthy relationships with their friends and family, and live authentically as themselves.
We all want what’s best for our children, and families with transgender youth are no different. Please join us and take the pledge today to support the freedom to be and stay up to date on the ACLU’s work.
If you are a parent or a guardian yourself – or simply an adult who cares – join us and help us reach 100,000 people strong: Take our pledge to defend our freedom.
