This can make social transition a lot easier, and can give kids and their families breathing room to figure out what, if any, steps they want to take next. Puberty blockers do just that they delay puberty and its effects. Yes, despite what you may have heard from the right wing, puberty blockers are by and large very safe, especially for short-term use. And as for trans youth getting medical care, that mostly takes the form of something called puberty blockers, which are safe and entirely reversible. Supposedly, these laws are all about protecting our children, but I fail to see how being able to talk about one family – but not another – helps anybody. What started out as moral handwringing over trans kids in school sports morphed quickly into wider attacks, like Florida’s new “Don’t Say Gay” bill, which restricts any kind of mention of LGBTQ individuals, families, or issues in classrooms up to grade 3, and a hideous, heartbreaking Texas law that requires families allowing their trans children to receive any kind of gender-affirming medical care to be investigated for child abuse. Over the past few months, conservative governors and legislators have gleefully tossed gasoline on the bonfire. The awful rise of right-wing politics that target queer youth has taken a serious toll, too a staggering, sobering 94% of respondents said that current politics had negatively impacted their mental health. Seventy-five percent reported experiencing discrimination based on their sexuality or gender identity 70% reported their mental health as “poor ” and 42% seriously considered suicide, including over half of trans kids. The 2021 Trevor Project survey of LGBTQ youth found that these kids are still under an awful lot of stress because of who they are. That doesn’t mean everything is fine, however. That’s not because they’re being indoctrinated or some other right-wing garbage, but because it’s safer to explore sexuality and gender identity now than it ever has been, and coming out is much, much less dangerous. More members of Gen Z identify as queer than any other generation: fully 1 out of every 5 adult Gen Zers say they are LGBTQ. Acceptance of LGBTQ people has steadily increased, and issues that used to be hugely divisive, like same-sex marriage, are favored by large majorities. For a while, though, it seemed like things might be getting better. Trust me, I know growing up in the 80s and 90s as a kid who didn’t exactly conform to gender norms was not fun.
This year, all of a sudden, LGBTQ rights are being rolled back in the one place where openness, inclusivity, and acceptance does the most good: the nation’s classrooms.
