The Trump administration has eliminated the suicide prevention hotline for transgender youth effectively making sure that their lives are made even more difficult than they currently are.
Those unfortunate enough to not have support at home will have it removed by a regime that doesn't even acknowledge their existence. Half of US states have laws on the books which restrict or outright ban gender affirming care despite a century of experience by medical experts that gender dysohoria is very much a real thing and shouldn't be ignored.
Youth don't have the perspective and maturity to deal with the rot in society without being transgender. Add their reality to the mix and it is made far worse.
In this era where expertise in a field can be substituted by voodoo witchcraft, right wing fanatics running the government at both the federal and state level are going to make sure their opinions and religious beliefs govern.
Unfortunately, cruelty and stupidity often go hand in hand and we are in no danger of running out of idiots.
