John,
In many states in the past year, trans youth and their families have been faced with difficult, confusing choices at every turn. They’re navigating an ever-changing landscape of state laws around gender-affirming care, forcing families to travel long distances to access life-saving care – or, in some cases, uproot their lives and move entirely. At Campaign for Southern Equality we’ve done everything in our power through our Southern Trans Youth Emergency Project (STYEP), in partnership with state and local organizations across 15 states, to support these families, demystify their options, and most importantly, get their child to the care they need.
A few in-depth articles have come out recently highlighting the work of STYEP and the experiences of families facing these obstacles, and we thought you’d like to see what your support has made possible for these families.
