Remember, though, these are children.
Their parents deserve a say in their lives.

They don’t need to be shipped off to conversion therapy or kicked out of the house. Which is what happened to many gay kids a few years back.
I won’t support a repeat of that.

History shows LGBTQ* kids need a safe haven — often from their own parents.
That’s a majority history — not a selected rare occurrence.
Only 12–27% of children with gender dysphoria—a condition where one’s perceived gender identity differs from their biological sex—carry it into adulthood, yet many children in the U.S. are still eligible for irreversible therapies and surgeries
