We need the law on our side, supporting queer foster youth. We need to be able to offer social transition if kid A needs it to stop running away. We need to be able to offer puberty blockers, if kid B's gender dysphoria interferes with their ability to shower or go to school.

Conservatives are throwing their trans and gender nonconforming youth away. Treating them as trash. All we want is to give the kids they reject a safe place, where they can thrive and become whatever and whoever they want to be.
