This report is heartbreaking, and, sadly, not surprising, based on what many providers are experiencing in their work with transgender and gender diverse youth. Our organization remains steadfast in our efforts to protect and increase access to life-saving, affirming care. "The CDC report follows a recent study published in the prestigious journal Nature Human Behavior, which found that anti-transgender bans led to an increase of up to 72% in suicide attempts by transgender youth in states that passed anti-trans legislation. Using a natural experiment design and multiple waves of surveys, the study found that laws such as bathroom bans, sports bans, and gender-affirming care bans were significantly and causally associated with a rise in suicides. The survey reached 61,000 transgender youth in the United States across several waves, making it one of the most impactful studies ever conducted on the effects of anti-trans legislation."

Gender affirming surgery can be an important part of the medical transition for many TGD people, but it isn't required to be valid in one's gender identity. Among those who pursue surgical affirmation, goals, and desired procedures vary widely from person to person. #CTH #TransHealth101 #GenderAffirmation #GenderIdentity
