In the meantime, any Michigander who is denied gender-affirming care needs to report it. The ACLU will intervene on your behalf. (7/9)

We were also reminded last night that trans women have always been at the forefront in fighting for LGBTQ+ civil rights, all the way back to the Stonewall riots in 1969 and before. The LGBTQ+ community is rallying around our most vulnerable members. (6/9)

Whatever we have already been doing to support and provide gender-affirming care in Michigan can and must continue. The executive branch is counting on paralyzing us through fear and intimidation. (5/9)

The executive orders and the threatening letters are poorly written by people who have no training in gender-affirming care, blustering on about "gender ideology" (whatever that means) while giving providers no specific direction or actionable steps. (4/9)

I urge you to stand against this legislation and vote to protect the rights, privacy, and well-being of all students, including transgender youth. Please let me know how you intend to act on this important issue.

Thank you for your time and consideration. (18/21)
