Today, the NC House voted to concur with the Senate and passed the “Gender Transition/Minors” bill (H808; or as we’ve called it before the “Youth Health Protection Act”). It now heads to the Governor’s desk to be either signed or ignored into law; or vetoed.
H808 is compassionate legislation. It gives minors the benefit of becoming an adult before making life-altering, irreversible changes to their bodies just to make them appear more like the opposite sex.
As ABC11 recently reported, “A National Library of Medicine report published last year found there are more than 150,000 transgender youth in the United States and the median age of referral was 16-years-old. The report additionally notes that between 2013 through 2020, the number of gender-affirming mastectomies increased 13 times.”
Gender confused minors across North Carolina have been lured by medical and trans activists into believing the lie that body mutilation and damaging their development with off-label cancer drugs and cross sex hormones is the cure for their mental health issues. However, the science shows that suicide increases by over 40% after medical transitioning, proving that it doesn’t work. Widely accepted studies show that 85% of gender confused minors who are not medically transitioned desist from their dysphoria, yet the gender transitioning industry continues to line its pockets to fuel this billion-dollar child abuse industry.
(Prisha’s testimony at an earlier H808 committee hearing helped open legislators eyes to the issue in North Carolina.)
We have worked with de-transitioners and the parents of children who have transitioned, and we have been touched by their stories of regret and suffering. Throughout the year, we have shared with you names of courageous women who have gone public—such as Cat, Chloe, and Prisha—in the hopes that you would see the need for this legislation.
We’re grateful for every call, text, email, and conversation you shared with your legislators to help us get H808 passed. We’re honored to be part of this effort to shield children from permanent suffering caused by gender transitioning, and we urge Governor Cooper to sign the bill and choose children over activists.
