    Thank you to Athlete Ally Ambassador and player for speaking up to .

    This proposed bill in South Dakota would cut off care for trans youth — care that affirms who they are, and that literally saves lives. I honor my sister by refusing to be silent on this. We need to shut this bill down.

    South Dakota's would deny trans youth life-saving, essential health care. We're fighting like children's lives are on the line because they are.

    For the next four days before Monday’s South Dakota house vote on a bill that would make trans health care for minors a crime let the know that we will not abide the criminalization of our survival. We will fight to live. .

    Doctors and parents who believe they can get trans youth to “accept” their biological sex will be responsible for the deaths of many young people in South Dakota. It just doesn’t work like that.

    This is where we are at. A bill that makes health care for trans youth a crime has passed out of committee and will be heard on the house floor. We need you to rise up now. We must stop this to save trans lives. .

    The committee votes 5 NAY - 8 AYE. It passes and moves to the floor.
