The message:

The attacks on the freedom and dignity of trans people and their families continue to escalate, with politicians across the country passing laws that criminalize and ban access to the health care that serves as the foundation of our lives. The next stage of the fight for basic LGBTQ freedoms is here, and it affects everyone.

The House of Representatives will soon vote on legislation that threatens 10 years in federal prison for any provider of gender-affirming medical care to transgender people under 18. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene is pushing this proposal to criminalize the healthcare that transgender people need. While such a bill is beyond the pale, it won’t be the last. Any national ban on gender-affirming care would be devastating. You and your elected members of Congress are our last line of defense against this national threat.

We must stop any effort to criminalize the healthcare that trans people need. Send your message loud and clear: Tell your members of Congress to oppose attempts to criminalize gender-affirming medical care.

Subject Don’t Criminalize Transgender Healthcare

I am outraged to learn that the House of Representatives is considering legislation (H.R. 3492) from Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene that would criminalize the healthcare that transgender people need. Subjecting providers of gender-affirming medical care for transgender people under 18 to fines and up to 10 years in federal prison ignores the essential, even life-saving, role of this healthcare.

Message Body

We have seen wave after wave of similar measures in the states, in Congress, and from the Trump administration to criminalize and strip transgender people of their right to safety, dignity, and autonomy. I am writing – during a genuine moment of crisis – to urge you to oppose and vote NO on this extremely dangerous proposal to criminalize healthcare for transgender people under 18.

I want to be very clear: Gender-affirming medical care, including for transgender people under 18, is evidence-based, medically necessary, and life-saving. This is why every leading medical organization, including the American Medical Association, the American Psychiatric Association, and the American Academy of Pediatrics, strongly opposes efforts to criminalize and deny this care to transgender people.
Patients and their doctors should be the ones making individual healthcare decisions, not politicians. As a member of Congress, you must fight against this.

Transgender people deserve the same chance to thrive and live fulfilling lives as everyone else. Having the freedom to control our bodies and seek the healthcare we need, including gender-affirming medical care, is an essential right for all people.

I urge you to oppose and vote NO on this proposal to criminalize gender-affirming medical care (H.R. 3492). I also urge you not to remain silent in this moment. Use your voice to show support for the transgender community publicly. Most importantly, use your power to protect life-saving healthcare for trans youth and adults alike.

Thank you. I look forward to your response.
