Subject: Re: ACLU of SD opposes bill that would criminalize medically necessary care for transgender youth
You could pull from our suicide handout (attached again).
Fred — You should contact the SD ACLU and ask them for the study(ies) that they base their claim that “transgender youth whose families affirm their gender identity have a 52 percent decrease
in suicidal thoughts, a 48 percent decrease in suicide attempts and significant increases in self-esteem and general health”. One of our MD’s can then review them and provide refutation of their
alleged evidence.
