For the second straight year, hundreds of bills impacting transgender youth were introduced in state legislatures. The diverging legal landscape has created a deep divide in the rights and protections for transgender youth and their families across the country.
Even the consideration of such anti-trans laws can have a detrimental impact on transgender youth's mental health; 86 percent of transgender youth say that debates around anti-trans bills have negatively impacted their mental health.
45 percent of transgender youth polled reported experiencing cyberbullying, while nearly one in three expressed feeling unsafe seeking medical assistance when ill or injured as a result of debates regarding anti-trans policies.
