John,
Health care decisions are deeply personal and should be made by patients, families, and their doctors. The Biden administration’s latest statement on medical care for transgender youth is harmful and goes against standards of care supported by every major medical association. Join us in calling on President Biden to show up for trans youth and stay out of personal health care decisions!
All of us should have access to the health care we need, and that includes trans kids—no exceptions. Yet President Biden's recent statements about restrictions on health care for trans kids are deeply disappointing. It is dangerous to put limits on health care, as we have seen from the devastating consequences of anti-trans medical care bans passed in the states.
It is a fundamental right to make personal decisions about our bodies, lives, and futures. Patients and their health care providers, not politicians, should decide what care is in the patient's best interest in accordance with current medical best practices. |
