Transgender Hottline

The transgender acceptance hotline is a hotline for transgender youth who cannot transition, due to parental gatekeeping.

Many transgender teens do not get the support they need, and it is very harmful for the teens wellbeing. A common problem for trans youth is parental gatekeeping. Parents often keep their child from transitioning due to it being against their religion, morality, or fear of losing their child if they let them change. What parents do not understand is that this is a mental struggle on their child. What causes someone to be transgender is a mental illness called, “Gender Dysphoria”. Gender Dysphoria is a mental illness where gender and sex don't align. People transition so that their body matches their mind. For people with this struggle, we have an emergency hotline for this specific reason. The phone line will connect the caller to a professional and they will make sure they get the help they need. As the Freedom to Be Yourself Act states, “If you are to interfere with the child's well being, whether it be medical or social interference, you will be immediately detained and held for a hearing to ensure the youth's safety and happiness.”
