This just in from Erin In The Morning -- news of a groundbreaking study authorized by The Trevor Project and published September 26, 2024, in Nature, the leading international weekly journal of science first published in 1869, offers critical insight into the effects of anti-trans legislation here in the USA, including healthcare bans, on transgender youth, and is the first study of its kind. Erin In the Morning provides a synopsis of the statistics and findings at this link; you can find the full 14 page research report with this link to Nature's Human Behavior Journal.
The findings add to a growing body of research showing that gender-affirming care saves lives, while bans on such care, along with forced outing policies in schools and bathroom restrictions, have significant impacts on transgender youth and young adults in affected states here in the United States. The study’s findings could have far-reaching international implications as more countries face pressure to implement similar restrictions on transgender people.
