Two arms with closed fists cross behind a thumbs-up hand, forming the ASL sign for “love yourself.”The outlines are semi-transparent, letting the rainbow gradient show through. Above, the text reads: “Love yourself hard.” A small handwritten signature appears in the bottom right.]

![Shameful. In a statement released today, the Trump Administration is equating gender-affirming care with "child abuse" and seeking to punish those who provide critical, life-saving support and services to our trans and gender diverse youth.
Gender-affirming care is NOT child abuse. It is a vital, evidence-based approach that empowers transgender and gender-diverse youth to live authentic, healthy lives. Gender-affirming care saves lives and reduces risks of depression, anxiety, and self-harm. Labeling gender-affirming care as “abuse” is dangerous, misleading and undermines the dignity and rights of our youth to be their true selves.
