Tell States: Stop Passing Anti-Trans Laws

A new report reveals the devastating impact of anti-trans laws on youth mental health. In states that have passed these discriminatory laws, suicide attempts among transgender teens have significantly increased. These findings highlight the urgent need to stop the spread of harmful legislation targeting the trans community.

According to the report, more than 20 states have enacted anti-trans laws in just the past few years, restricting access to healthcare, banning participation in sports, and erasing affirming education. 

These laws not only deny trans people basic rights but also inflict lasting harm on the most vulnerable, particularly trans youth.

“This is a public health crisis,” said Amit Paley, CEO of The Trevor Project. “Anti-trans laws send a message that trans people are not valued or accepted, and this rejection has life-threatening consequences.” Experts warn that continued passage of these laws will only deepen the mental health crisis for trans youth, putting lives at further risk.

We cannot stand by while states enact policies that endanger the lives and well-being of trans people. 

Every young person deserves to feel safe, accepted, and supported—no matter who they are. Sign this petition to demand that state lawmakers stop passing anti-trans laws.
