New Hampshire lawmakers are considering a harmful piece of legislation that specifically targets transgender youth in New Hampshire. HB 68 would classify gender affirming care for transgender youth as child abuse. Medical decisions should be made between the patient, parents, and physician -- not the government or politicians. This bill would punish doctors and parents for providing life-saving medical care and it flies in the face of the rights, needs, and well-being of transgender youth.
HB 68 manufactures a problem that does not exist at the expense of youth already at disproportionate risk of anti-trans bullying and attacks. This bill is headed to the House Children & Family Law Committee.
Contact members of the House Children & Family Law Committee now and tell them to vote NO on HB 68.
