With a record number of anti-trans bills advancing across the country, transgender people's rights and access to life-saving, gender-affirming care are under attack. One-third of the nation has already passed laws criminalizing and banning this essential medical care. The incoming administration in 2025 poses a concerning threat to further erode trans rights and protections. We urge unwavering commitment to safeguarding the civil liberties of this vulnerable community. Please take decisive action to prevent any rollback of transgender people's rights and ensure they can live authentically without discrimination or barriers to healthcare access. Their lives and wellbeing are at stake. Defending trans rights must be a priority to uphold human rights and dignity for all.
