The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has removed reports concerning the mental health of transgender youth in Utah while retaining similar data for cisgender peers. This deletion comes after the Utah Student Health and Risk Prevention (SHARP) surveyâcompleted by nearly 52,000 studentsâshowed that 1.4% identified as transgender. The arbitrary removal of these reports has sparked debates about the need for visibility and support for transgender youth's mental health, and similar data had previously been restored following a federal ruling, highlighting ongoing controversies around gender and health data dissemination.
