This is not a political game. This is a fight for children's lives.

Meh Pluribus Unum @pluribus-unum.co · 1d

A 400% rise.

"Good Law Project can confirm that in 2021-2022 suicides of trans children in England surged to 22, a marked increase from 5 and 4 the previous two years. This spike follows the decision by NHS England to pull down the shutters on gender affirming healthcare for young trans people..."

Jolyon Maugham KC @goodlawproject.org · 1d

One of the wickedest things Wes Streeting has ever done is push politically convenient falsehoods about suicide rates amongst young trans people. We have new data from the National Child Mortality Database that exposes the truth he tried to cover up.

People who are transphobic are always the ones found fo be pedophiles (*cough* JK Rowling *cough*), r*pists, or some variant of. Remind me again how trans people are the problem here? 🤦

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal @jayapal.house.gov · 3d

Republicans love to talk about protecting kids, yet they are constantly putting trans kids in danger. Trans people account for less than 1% of the population, yet there were 745 anti-trans bills introduced last year alone.

It’s cruelty for the sake of cruelty.

Trans healthcare isn’t ✨vibes ✨Every major medical assoc supports gender-affirming care, because it saves lives. Since she’s ignoring the science, you have to wonder if Nicki Minaj’s is hoping for a pardon for her child rapist brother. Because it’s obvs not about protecting kids. #protecttranskids

Trans Up Front

@transupfrontil.com

🚨WARNING: Adolescent and Young Adult Gender Dysphoria Outcome Study (AYAGDOS) is being conducted by anti-trans researchers. There is a fear that any information gathered by these individuals could be used to undermine youth and young adult's access to gender affirming care. DNI! 🚨 #protecttranskids

An announcement warning on a half black, half blue background with a white speech bubble and a pink banner.

Announcement reads: *police light emoji* It has come to our attention that a study by the name of AYAGDOS (Adolescent and Young Adult Gender Dysphoria Outcome Study) is circulating. It has been confirmed this study is NOT affiliated with Northwestern University’s Impact Institute nor do they endorse the research being done. The researchers responsible for this study have a history of anti-trans rhetoric and there is fear this study could be used to undermine youth and young adult’s access to gender affirming care in the future. We urge trans young adults and parents of trans children to NOT INTERACT with this study in any way. *police light emoji*

“Trans people, especially young trans people, are being failed,” says Chay Brown of @transactualuk.bsky.social as we reveal a disproportionate number of trans youth have died by suicide over six years.

One in six children who died by suicide were LGBTQ+, new data shows

Amid heated public debate about whether trans children are dying by suicide, campaigners say we need to "take the politics out of policymaking"

If you or your kids are personally being cut off from care by this, reach out. We’re in this with you.

Healthcare is a right, not a suggestion. See you on the phones.

The receipts are out: The CA AG is suing Rady’s for breaking a legal promise to provide gender-affirming care until 2034.
They tried to “pre-capitulate” to transphobic politics—
now it’s time to make them reverse course.
