Right now Mississippi are grappling with the passage of HB1125, legislation that prohibits transgender-related healthcare in Mississippi for people under the age of 18; this means that care such as gender-affirming hormone therapy and puberty blockers are inaccessible in Mississippi for any trans person until they turn 18. Youth can still access mental health care, which is not restricted or banned by this law, in TN.
The Campaign for Southern Equality is working with partners across Mississippi, including The TRANS Program and Mississippi Rising Coalition, to provide grants, navigation support, and resources to impacted families as they ensure their children can access the care they need and deserve. Please use this form below to request more information and we will be in touch.
