PFLAG National—along with transgender young adults, families with transgender youth, and GLMA—is serving as the plaintiff in a federal legal challenge against an executive order from the Trump administration attempting to shut down nationwide access to necessary medical care for transgender people under 19.
We’re fighting President Trump and his backers’ vicious attacks on transgender people and families because that’s our job: to clear the obstacles that get in the way of creating a caring, just, and affirming world for LGBTQ+ people and those who love them. Whether you or a loved one is transgender—or you are just a decent person who believes that discrimination and coercion are wrong in every setting—you can help PFLAG National win against these vicious attacks.
Supreme Court of Texas Hears Oral Argument about the Ban of Medical Care for Transgender Youth
“Every parent in Texas deserves for their child to have access to health care when they need it, but S.B. 14 takes away that assurance of health and safety for children who are transgender. Our hope is that today, the Court heard this injustice and will take steps to rectify it, so every child in Texas, transgender or not, has the freedom to thrive.” — Brian K. Bond (he/him), CEO of PFLAG National
