In collaboration with researchers from Ohio State and University of Maryland, the AAMC's Center for Health Justice analyzed the current landscape of state legislation that limits or bans gender-affirming medical care (GAMC) for transgender youth. We must come together to continue providing evidence-based care, promoting health justice, and protecting GAMC - which is associated with lower suicidality and depression and improved quality of life among transgender youth. This is a matter of health and health justice. #TransDayofVisibility To Protect Evidence-Based Medicine and Promote Health Justice, Protect Gender-Affirming Medical Care

| To Protect Evidence-Based Medicine and Promote Health Justice, Protect Gender-Affirming Medical Care |
| More than 132,000 transgender youth across the nation face a loss of access to clinically recommended, life-saving health care as states move to limit or ban gender-affirming medical care (GAMC). More than 20,000 transgender youth live in states that have already enacted anti-GAMC state legislation. |
