With just two weeks until Election Day, the future of trans and gender-expansive youth hangs in the balance. The wave of anti-transgender legislation sweeping the U.S. is not just a political issue—it’s a life-and-death crisis. Transgender teens are facing an unbearable reality. A recent CDC study revealed that 25% of transgender youth have attempted su***de in the past year. The Trevor Project warns that these cruel laws have driven su***de attempts up by as much as 72% among transgender and nonbinary youth.

But even in the face of this heartbreak, there is a glimmer of hope. Research shows that just one loving, affirming adult in a transgender teen’s life can lower the risk of su***de by 40%. That person could be you. Your support, your compassion, your vote—these are the things that can save lives.

This election, we have the chance to show trans youth that they are not alone, that they are seen, and that they matter. By voting for leaders who will fight against these devastating laws, we can help create a world where transgender teens feel safe, loved, and valued. Every vote counts, and every vote could mean the difference between despair and hope.
