This year, lawmakers all across the South have passed extreme legislation banning best-practice medical care for transgender youth – and as a result, 75% of transgender youth in the South now live in a state where a ban on gender-affirming care has passed.
It has been a relentless time. But we know that the love and support that exists for trans kids across the South is stronger than these dangerous laws. That’s why Campaign for Southern Equality is collecting messages of hope and support for transgender kids and their families across the South through our Southern Trans Youth Emergency Project (STYEP), through which we are providing grants, patient navigation support, and accurate information to families impacted by healthcare bans. Use the form below to send a message, and we’ll include them in Care Packages for trans youth impacted by these cruel bans.
