Our job as parents is to listen and believe our children when they tell us who they are. This healthcare is life affirming and life saving.

I offer support to find gender affirming care for youth, even if they need to go out of state. If parents are unsupportive, some kids choose to get emancipated at 16 to make their own medical decisions. Dealing with transphobic parents can be tough, especially if they are very right-leaning. It's important to find a chosen family of friends who accept you. I can send you a binder discreetly if needed.

I have an issue when it comes to targeting our kids and trying to change their gender. I don't care if a 40-year-old person wants to undergo gender reassignment, but I don't want to hear about it, pay for it, or be forced to acknowledge their chosen identity. Leave me alone and stay away from our children.

And I want all of you just to know exactly where we are as far as our neighbors go. Minneapolis will continue to be a safe haven for undocumented immigrants, for our trans community. Regardless of who you are or where you come from, Minneapolis is a place where you should be proud to call home.

I'm a straight white guy from Mississippi, but that doesn't define my capability to serve in the military. Harvey Milk, a navy diver, was discharged for being gay, and we lost valuable talent because of that. Now, transgender service members face similar exclusion. No one should be barred from defending this country for being who they are, nor should anyone have to hide their identity to serve. You face discrimination that I can't fully understand, but I recognize you as true patriots.

I am a Google Cloud software engineer and I will not create technology that supports genocide.

I am a woman and I use the women's restroom. No one can stop me. If you have a problem, use a different bathroom. I have the right to use the women's restroom.

I believe transgenderism is a mental health condition, but I support open conversation. I met two young women who had regretted their decision to have surgeries as teenagers. I think adults should have the freedom to live as they choose, but we must protect children.

We operate within a civil rights framework in this state, which includes trans youth. The notion that there are only boys and girls is biologically inaccurate, as science shows a more complex continuum. Some children are born intersex, and others have inconsistencies between their chromosomes, hormones, and sex at birth. Regardless, state laws are clear: students can identify and participate in activities based on their identified gender. We will uphold this law.

On the first day of his presidency, Trump signed an executive order recognizing only two genders: male and female. If elected as prime minister, would you align with this view? I'm not aware of any other genders beyond men and women. If you have other genders to discuss, feel free to share. Personally, I identify as a man, and I know some identify as gender-neutral or transgender. I only recognize two genders, but if you have a different perspective, I'm open to hearing it. Ultimately, I believe the government should focus on its own responsibilities and allow people to live their lives without interference.

I can use the bathroom I identify with as a trans woman because it's legal in my state. Others won't bother me when I tell them I'm trans.

On the first day of his presidency, Trump signed an executive order recognizing only two genders: male and female. If elected as prime minister, would you align with this view? I’m not aware of any genders beyond men and women. If you have others to suggest, feel free to share. Personally, I identify as a man, but some people identify as gender-neutral or transgender. Would you recognize these identities? I'm only aware of two genders. If you have a different list, feel free to present it. However, I believe the government should focus on its own business and allow people to live as they choose.

My name is Tisha Roby, and I am non-binary. I use they/them pronouns. Pronouns are important to me, so please use them correctly. If you make a mistake, I will politely correct you. Let's make sure we get it right every time. If you have any questions, we can discuss it later.

Every U.S. resident, including those here illegally, should have access to healthcare, according to the bill. I am against denying anyone public safety, education, or health services in our country.

Because let's be clear. This is life affirming and life saving health care. When our children tell us who they are, it is our job as grown ups to listen and to believe them. That's what it means to be a good parent. Because let's be clear. This is life affirming and life saving health care.

Our policy is that we direct people to the male or female area of the spa based on their genitals. So if you have male parts, you go to the male side, and if you have female parts, you go to the female side. Even if you identify as a different gender. I understand that many people disagree with this policy, and I've been told that it is discriminatory and anti-transgender. I've been told that in San Fransisco you can't determine a man or woman based on their parts. I've also been told that I need to publish this policy on our website so that people are aware of it before they come here. Customers have been complaining and as a business, we also have a right to refuse service.

My mom doesn't care if I'm gay, lesbian, or anything else. She only cares that I'm a part of the LGBTQIA+ community. If I'm not a part of it, she'll try to convince me to join it.

We are often asked by surgeons or physicians to write letters, but in reality, it is for insurance companies. We have to use the DSM in our letters for insurance purposes. Although I am not a fan of the DSM, it is important to mention this requirement to the client. Insurance companies require a diagnosis for surgery, which stems from a history of pathologizing and categorizing queer people. Despite the minimal trust, we use the diagnosis to ensure clients receive the necessary treatment.

Michigan Medicine strives to be a safe, welcoming place for transgender individuals and to provide excellent health care regardless of gender. The goal of this video is to improve the comfort and competency of frontline staff in caring for transgender individuals. We will start by talking about gender identity, challenges the transgender community has faced in the health care system, and Michigan's policies regarding gender non-discrimination. The second half of this training is job specific. To discuss gender identity, it is important to understand the difference between sex and gender. Sex refers to one's reproductive organs, native hormones, and chromosomes, while gender identity refers to one's internal sense of gender, a person's basic sense of being a man or boy, a woman or girl, or another gender. Gender identity can be expressed by how individuals present themselves socially, including clothing, physical characteristics, speech, and mannerisms. All people, whether they are transgender or cisgender, meaning not transgender, have a gender identity and expression. Transgender is a term for individuals whose gender identity differs from the gender identity typically associated with their sex assigned at birth. There are many identities that fall under the umbrella of transgender. Transgender men, trans men, or trans masculine refer to people who are assigned female sex at birth but identify as men or masculine. Transgender women, trans women, or trans feminine refer to people who were assigned male sex at birth but identify as women or feminine. Other individuals may identify as genderqueer, agender, genderfluid, two spirited, bigender, or another identity that does not fit neatly into the categories of men or women. All major American medical societies, including the American Medical Association and American Psychological Association, endorse gender affirming care as the standard of care for transgender individuals. This means caring for people in a way that supports their gender transition and gender identity. Transgender people may undergo any one of a number of gender affirming medical interventions, including hormonal therapies like estrogen, testosterone, or hormone blockers, and surgical treatment to change body contours or genitalia. However, it is important to note that one does not have to undergo any medical or surgical treatment to be transgender. Some people are easily read as the gender they affirm while others are visibly gender non conforming or androgynous appearing.

I received a letter from United denying my patient's overnight stay, and I want to share it fully. My previous statements were honest, and I’m open to questions about the letter. I refuse to be silenced by threats when advocating for my patients and addressing issues in the healthcare system. Speaking out is essential for maintaining my integrity and making a difference. As a woman caring for women with breast cancer, I am committed to this cause. I encourage everyone to share this story and stand up against the powerful healthcare organizations. It’s vital for us all to tell our stories to drive change, and I am dedicated to this mission.

Parents should be aware of what their children are taught about relationships in school. It is important for patients to know how hospitals discuss gender. We should not be pressured into accepting the idea that anyone can be any sex they want. Common sense tells us that a man is a man and a woman is a woman.

I want to share a personal message to show that being transgender doesn't hinder military service. I take my estrogen, blockers, and other medications, but it doesn't affect my ability to serve.

Senator and Dr. Verma engage in a contentious exchange about biology, pregnancy, and how science should guide medicine. The Senator presses: “Can men get pregnant?” He frames the question as a straightforward biological reality and argues that science and evidence should control, not politics. He emphasizes that there are biological men and biological women, and that women get pregnant. He notes that the abortion drug has safety concerns, stating that it “causes adverse health events in eleven percent of cases” and that this is “twenty two times greater than the FDA label,” asserting that this basic reality has not been acknowledged. Dr. Verma responds by describing his clinical practice, saying he cares for patients with different identities and for many women, including people who do not identify as women. He pauses when asked the binary question, explaining that he is unsure of the goal of the question and emphasizing the complexity of identity and medicine. He reframes the issue by saying that science and evidence should guide medicine, but he avoids giving a yes-or-no answer to the question of whether “biological men” can get pregnant. He characterizes such yes/no questions as political tools and stresses the need to address the experiences of patients rather than polarize the discussion. The Senator insists on a direct yes/no response, reiterating that the question is about biology and the truth, and that men are not pregnant. He argues that failing to acknowledge this undermines trust in science and could have constitutional implications for protections of women. Dr. Verma maintains that he is a physician who follows science and aims to represent the complex experiences of patients, and he again cautions against polarized framing. He expresses willingness to have a conversation that avoids polarization and politics. The exchange moves from the specific biology question to broader themes: the role of science in medicine, the intersection of gender identity with medical care, and the communication of medical facts in a political context. The Senator closes by emphasizing the distinction between biological reality and political narratives, reiterating that women get pregnant and highlighting safety concerns about abortion drugs. He thanks the witnesses and the chairman for the hearing, noting a focus on protecting women and following science, while indicating disappointment at the level of debate.

I do my best to help parents understand medical interventions they signed off on, but it's concerning when they can't provide necessary information.
