Nearly 90 Democrats in the U.S. House signed a letter to Donald Trump demanding he rescind his executive order restricting gender-affirming care for transgender minors. This order, labeled as unconstitutional and unconscionable, incorrectly labels medical treatments as 'chemical and surgical mutilation.' Lawmakers emphasize that this care, supported by major medical associations, is vital for the mental health and well-being of young transgender individuals. They argue that it lowers the rates of depression and suicidality, calling for immediate action to protect access to life-saving treatments.
The letter asserts that the order threatens the lives and well-being of the young people who need this care, which is supported by every major medical association.
You should be listening to young trans people, their families, and their doctors. The evidence is clear: the medical care you seek to ban saves lives.
