CLARIFICATION :
The Trevor Project's hotline will still be live. But basically this means LGBTQ people can no longer be connected to it through the US national 988 suicide prevention hotline.
They will need to be contacted DIRECTLY
So spread this around
They can be texted. They can be called.

More than two years ago, Utah Republicans commissioned a study on gender-affirming care for youth. It just came back, and the conclusion is unambiguous: full recommendation in support of gender-affirming care.

Utah study on trans youth care extremely inconvenient for politicians who ordered it
The state's ban on gender-affirming pediatric care "cannot be justified" by science, a two-year review concluded.

This isn't correct. I just googled this number...it seems to be the Canadian number for the Trans Lifeline here in the US. So it's actually a number for Canadian trans and nonbinary folks to call to get help from a US org!
Please spread the word. The Trans Lifeline doesn't need to be innundated.

1. I am raising the alarm: If you are a transgender adult, your care is under threat by President Trump.
You should prepare for severe supply disruptions and policies that amount to potential bans.

The Trump Administration Threat To Transgender Adult Care Is Growing At Lightning Speed
Many transgender adults have wondered when their care would be banned by the Trump administration. Now, we are seeing the first vectors to do so.

You may be fearing your 401k is no longer enough for you to retire. But with all the cuts to NIH and Medicare you also won't live as long. So the policies are integrated.
