As a part of Mental Health Awareness Month, I have been made aware of some alarming changes lawmakers are trying to make in the medical and academic world of Transgender Youth in the United States. If these laws were to be passed, it would undoubtedly affect the mental health of these kids and their families, potentially raising the suicide rate among them even more. In today's episode, we talk about what these laws and policies are how we can do our part to stop them, and what we can do to support our friends and loved ones in the fight against Transphobia.
