Preserving the wellbeing and rights of transgender youth should be a top priority. The Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) poses a grave threat by enabling censorship of online resources and communities vital for LGBTQ+ youth. This draconian legislation would cut off access to life-saving information and peer support networks under the guise of protecting minors. We must adamantly oppose KOSA and any measures that endanger the safety and mental health of transgender kids by isolating them. Upholding the freedom of expression and right to access information is crucial for the healthy development of all young people.
