I have two daughters and can’t imagine telling them they were born wrong. That idea is harmful and misguided. Medical interventions like halting puberty, administering opposite-sex hormones, and performing surgeries on children are alarming. In the U.S., insurance data shows that up to 179 girls under 12 and a half have undergone double mastectomies. This means young girls are having their breasts removed because they’ve been led to believe they are boys inside.

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.

Our children, including LGBTQ Americans, are important to our nation's future. It is crucial that we treat everyone in our country with care and respect. This administration wants to assure LGBTQ Americans, especially children, that they are loved, heard, and supported.

We should stop wasting time on the idea that male and female aren't real and focus on improving healthcare for everyone. Unfortunately, this thinking has infiltrated our institutions, particularly in American healthcare, and it's causing harm. Children are being misled and these lies are negatively impacting their mental health, happiness, and understanding of gender. This will have long-lasting effects on their lives. It's too late to stop it completely, but we need to limit its duration before realizing it's a serious medical and social scandal. This issue is present in schools and communities, so we must fight against it to prevent further spread.

We are harming children with the current approach to gender identity. Young kids, facing bullying or discomfort during puberty, may express confusion about their gender. They are often sent to mental health professionals who are instructed to affirm their feelings, leading to irreversible medical interventions like puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones. This process can sterilize children and deprive them of future sexual pleasure. Many affected are as young as 9 or 10, unable to give informed consent. When they later wish to detransition, they often face abandonment and depression, having permanently altered their bodies. This issue is critical for both children and women's rights.

A 12-year-old child assigned female at birth expresses a desire to live as a boy. The speaker believes that the law should not intervene in this matter and that parents should take care of it.

Gender affirmative care is deemed medically necessary, safe, and effective for transgender and non-binary individuals. Attacks on the LGBTQI+ community, particularly trans youth, are driven by an agenda unrelated to science and medicine. These politically and ideologically motivated assaults contradict the vast body of scientific evidence.

We are concerned about harmful protocols for children struggling with their biological sex. We urge US medical organizations to stop promoting social affirmation, puberty blockers, hormones, and surgeries for these children. Sex is biologically determined and should guide medical decisions. We reject the claim that our concerns are a minority opinion and demand a change in approach.

Having children is the greatest gift of my life, and having a transgender child has enriched my perspective and wisdom. I encourage Supreme Court Justices to engage with their children and relatives about their experiences with transgender and non-binary individuals. They may be surprised to find that these identities are part of the diverse fabric of humanity.

We must protect trans kids and ensure their human rights are respected, making them feel seen, accepted, and loved. However, there are concerns about allowing them to make adult decisions as minors without parental knowledge or consent, as well as subjecting them to medical interventions typically used for cancer patients or violent sex offenders. Some argue that these interventions are reversible, despite testimonies from detransitioners, and even advocate for removing custody rights from guardians who disagree. Long-term studies show no reduction in suicidality after the initial 5 years, while pharmaceutical companies profit from this. It's important to reflect on whether we may unintentionally be causing harm in this situation.

No one is forced to provide medication to adolescents; doctors choose to treat their patients based on the best available evidence. Many young people have known their identities from a very young age and have suffered for years before finding relief. It's important to note that it is the parents who consent to these treatments, not the children themselves. As parents, witnessing our children's suffering is painful, and they are acting out of love and trust in the advice from the medical community. The situation in Tennessee has complicated this dynamic.

Most trans kids know they're trans between ages two and seven, with the speaker's daughter knowing around two and a half. The speaker emphasizes that children know things that adults don't, and these are the things to which adults should listen. The speaker states their child is not mentally ill. To begin gender affirming care, the speaker had to consult with numerous healthcare professionals.

Parents have always affirmed their children, especially when their gender and identity expression aligns with their biological gender. However, when this doesn't happen, affirmation tends to decrease. This is the issue at hand with the TGI bill, which doesn't mention transgender and gender non-conforming individuals explicitly. Instead, it focuses on the child's gender identity and expression, as well as the parents' duty to affirm their children.

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.

Gender-affirming care is crucial for transgender children, saving lives rather than ruining them. However, there are individuals pushing legislation against trans inclusion and life-saving healthcare. This is just the beginning of a deliberate and organized effort to eradicate transgender people. These bills, if passed, will result in the deaths of trans individuals, including children. Shockingly, some refer to this as the "transgender question." It's important to reflect on the gravity of this situation.

Many young people have known their identities from a very young age and have suffered for years before finding relief. It's important to note that it is the parents who consent to this treatment, driven by love and concern for their suffering children. Parents are following the advice of medical professionals and doing what they believe is best for their kids. The situation in Tennessee has created challenges for these families.

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.

"Sometimes it may be just a phase of development where they're exploring their gender identity and they're kind of getting a sense of who they are, but a lot of children do end up identifying as that gender into young adulthood and adulthood." "The only real way we know for sure that they're going to continue in that gender identity is just to allow them to develop over time." "And so that's what we recommend to parents is to give them the space." "Even if parents are concerned that it's a phase, we never want to tell the child that they shouldn't be expressing their gender identity or that they should be, ashamed for the way that they're expressing their identity because that can be quite harmful." "We just want to give the child a chance to develop and explore on their own."

Affirmation of gender identity is not a binary concept, similar to health, safety, and welfare. Family courts and judges consider the overall situation, and if both parents accept their child's gender identity, it won't heavily influence the decision. Gender affirmation varies for each person, but family acceptance and social support are crucial. It's important to recognize that people, regardless of age, are constantly evolving and changing. What affirmation means at one stage of growth may differ significantly from another stage.

We are harming children with the current approach to gender identity. Young kids, often facing bullying or discomfort during puberty, are being rushed into gender transition without proper evaluation. They are sent to therapists who are instructed to affirm their feelings, leading to the administration of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones, which can sterilize them and eliminate their ability to experience sexual pleasure later in life. This is happening to children as young as 9 or 10, who cannot provide informed consent. When they later wish to detransition, they often face abandonment and depression, having made irreversible changes to their bodies. This issue is critical, impacting both children and women's rights.

Protect trans kids. Protect kids.

We're here to support our child, Violet, and her right to access necessary medical care. It's important for her to be herself, and we won't let anyone silence her. We're from Arizona and are concerned about how this case might impact our state. We've even discussed the possibility of moving, but Violet's needs come first. Violet has known she is trans since she was one and a half years old; she has expressed this since she could speak.

An 8 or 10 year old deciding to be transgender should face no discrimination. Many transgender women of color are being murdered, with the number possibly at 17 this year. Every daughter should have the same rights to be who they are.

Speaker 0 states that parents do not know best; scientists know the best; experts know the best. They strongly support the standard to enable and empower all students to feel safe, educated, knowing who they are and knowing that it's okay to be who they are.
