in reply to William Lindsey :toad: • • •"Due to the wide variation in laws and protections surrounding transgender individuals across the United States, roughly half of all states have enacted extreme anti-trans legislation, including bans on gender-affirming care. Meanwhile, the other half have passed no such laws, with many even expanding protections for transgender people and their healthcare."

in reply to William Lindsey :toad: • • •"This disparity allows researchers to treat the differing outcomes as a 'natural experiment,' providing direct evidence that anti-trans bans cause harm in a way that few previous studies could achieve… evidence that The Trevor Project was collecting along the way."

in reply to William Lindsey :toad: • • •"A study published yesterday in Nature has confirmed that state-level anti-transgender laws are causing significant harm to transgender and non-binary (TGNB) young people. The study, titled 'State-level anti-transgender laws increase past-year suicide attempts among transgender and non-binary young people in the USA,' provides empirical evidence that these laws are not just political statements—they're life-threatening policies."
