This administration specializes in fearmongering, not facts.
The facts: 86% of trans youth report s*cidal ideation and 56% have attempted to end their lives. Anti trans laws increase attempts by ~72%. <1% report regretting GAC.
If they are trying to protect children, science says they are wrong.

Rather than protecting public health, anti-equality politicians in Congress and the Department of Health and Human Services are obsessed with attacking trans youth.
We need leaders who solve problems, not scapegoat innocent children.
