lives are saved by gender-affirming care; it allows trans young people to thrive. Additionally, the ACLU has pointed out, “No court anywhere in the country has ever found that gender-affirming care can be considered child abuse.” We are in solidarity with, and love, the Texas trans community, their families, and those friends and professionals who also support them. We are called to love and lift up one another, not slander and criminalize those who are different for personal gain during an election cycle. Rev.
