John, it’s
Congresswoman Sarah McBride. I want to share what I recently shared on the
Capitol steps:
I didn’t have the courage to come out until I was 21.
The truth is, I had known who I was for my entire life, and that meant 21
years of pain. 21 years of a kind of homesickness that only went away when
I was finally able to get the care I needed.
My biggest regret in life is that I never had a childhood without that
pain.
So many years later, I marvel at the courage of transgender young people
today, who are sharing themselves with their families and this world
despite the toxicity and the hate that too often comes from Congress and
from the politicians inside it.
All any of us want is to live a life of purpose and happiness and
wholeness, and I carry that with me every day in Congress — especially
right now.
In just days, millions of Americans will see their health insurance
premiums skyrocket.
And instead of doing something about it, Mike Johnson and House
Republicans just passed some of the most extreme anti-trans bills we’ve
seen — including legislation that risks jailing parents and doctors for
affirming transgender children and following medical best practices.
Republican politicians have made their priorities painfully clear: all
they care about is making the rich richer and attacking trans people.
John, as the only
openly trans member of Congress, I refuse to stay silent. I will keep
fighting for the dignity, humanity, and fair treatment of every person in
Delaware and across the country.
But if we’re going to tackle this Republican obsession, I need you
standing with me.

Every donation sends a powerful message that we won’t let Republicans get
away with weaponizing trans kids as political pawns.
