Dear Friend,
Today, the NC House voted to concur with the Senate and passed the
"Gender Transition/Minors" bill (H808; or as we've called it before
the "Youth Health Protection Act"). It now heads to the Governor’s
desk to be either signed or ignored into law; or vetoed.
H808 is compassionate legislation. It gives minors the benefit of
becoming an adult before making life-altering, irreversible changes to
their bodies just to make them appear more like the opposite sex.
As ABC11
recently reported, "A National Library of Medicine report published
last year found there are more than 150,000 transgender
youth in the United States and the median age of
referral was 16-years-old. The report
additionally notes that between 2013 through 2020, the number of
gender-affirming mastectomies
increased 13 times."
Gender confused minors across North Carolina have been lured by
medical and trans activists into believing the lie that body
mutilation and damaging their development with off-label cancer drugs
and cross sex hormones is the cure for their mental health issues.
However, the science shows that suicide increases by over
40% after medical transitioning, proving that it doesn’t
work. Widely accepted studies show that 85% of gender
confused minors who are not medically transitioned desist from their
dysphoria, yet the gender transitioning industry continues to line its
pockets to fuel this billion-dollar child abuse industry.
(Prisha's testimony
at
an
earlier H808 committee
hearing helped open legislators
eyes
to
the
issue
in
North
Carolina.)
We have worked with de-transitioners and the parents of
children who have transitioned, and we have been touched by
their stories of regret and suffering. Throughout the year, we have
shared with you names of courageous women who have gone public—such as
Cat,
Chloe, and Prisha—in the hopes
that you would see the need for this legislation.
We're grateful for every call, text, email, and conversation you
shared with your legislators to help us get H808 passed. We're honored
to be part of this effort to shield children from permanent suffering
caused by gender transitioning, and we urge Governor Cooper to sign
the bill and choose children over activists.
If
you support the hard work we do all year long fighting for your values
and getting legislation like these passed, would you consider
maximizing our impact by making a one-time or monthly donation
today?
Sincerely,
Tami & Team, NC Values
