She needs our help.



A young girl says she feels like she was born in the wrong body: she
"knows" that she is actually a boy.

When she visits a therapist or another medical professional, she may
be referred for radical, experimental, and life-altering
"treatments." This could include using medication
off-label in order to stop the natural progression of puberty. As she
enters adolescence, she could be placed on cross-sex hormones and even
(eventually) referred for surgeries including a double mastectomy.

In some states, these referrals may happen without her parent's
knowledge, much less consent. And wherever they happen, there's
a deeper problem: No amount of surgeries or hormones will heal a
hurting heart. In fact, these "treatments" are likely to
leave behind scars both physical and emotional.

Yet in most states, there is no law specifically protecting her as a
minor - a child - from these sorts of interventions.

We want to change that.

Last spring, Arkansas became the first state to legally protect minors
from harmful gender transition procedures. Tennessee also passed a
version of these protections in 2021.

Now, it's time for other states to follow suit. Our vision is
that this kind of dangerous intervention would become unthinkable
across the United States - and at the same time, that hurting
children would be able to receive real help and counseling to help
them live as healthy and whole people.

In short, it's a vision for help, not harm.

But our opposition is determined. From the Biden Administration in
Washington to leaders at the local school level, activists want to
guide children toward questioning their biology and pursuing
transgender interventions.

Protecting our children will take every one of us.

2. Contact your elected officials.

Your elected leaders need to hear that you stand behind them
when they protect children - and that you're paying
attention when they don't. We encourage you to contact
them with the message that you want them to protect minors from
transgender interventions. You can find your elected
officials' contact information here.

One thing is crystal clear: a child who believes she must alter her
body in order to be comfortable in it is a child who is deeply
hurting.

The last thing we should do? Hurt her even more.

Will you help us protect children?

Sincerely,


Meridian Baldacci
Director of Strategy
