"States that passed anti-transgender laws aimed at minors saw suicide attempts by transgender and gender nonconforming teenagers increase by as much as 72% in the following years."
"Your vote yes on this bill means one of two things: either you believe that trans children do not exist, or you believe that trans children do not deserve to exist," said Kentucky Senator Karen Berg.
"As these laws were being enacted, there was already a lot of research showing a strong association between anti-transgender policies and negative mental health outcomes," explains Ronita Nath.
"Lawmakers and supporters of these laws argued that the evidence of negative mental health effects was weak, so we really needed to very firmly establish causality," Nath said.
