Signal Boost: Open Letter to Support Trans Youth

[mdlbear]

By April 2: All Educators and Educational Scholars are Invited to Sign this Open Letter to Support Trans Youth, (via QotD - eftychia).

There is no need or public desire for anti-trans legislation, yet trans people's lives are being put in danger in an attempt to sow division among the general public. In nearly every case, sponsors of anti-trans bills cannot cite a single instance where the participation of trans girls in girls' sports teams led to unfair competition. Polls show that the majority of voters believe that trans people should be able to live openly and freely and receive medical care. Earlier this month, many of the nation's leading child health and welfare groups-representing over 7 million professionals and 1000 organizations-called on states to oppose the wave of anti-trans bills.

Writing here as the proud but worried father of a trans man.

FWIW, I saw R. on several Zoom meetings but didn't realize he was trans till he specifically talked about it.
