We at TransFamily Support Services condemn yet another extreme attack on the rights of trans youth across the country. HR 3492, brought to the House floor by Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, reflects the ongoing cruelty directed at our community—cruelty that continues even as one of the most devastating recent years for trans rights comes to a close.

HR 3492 aims to criminalize medically necessary care for trans youth nationwide, carrying penalties of up to ten years in prison for providers and care teams. Its advancement to the House floor marks the first time a federal ban targeting trans youth healthcare has reached this stage—and now it moves onto the Senate.

The advancement of this bill is a threat to the lives and safety of our community. It sets a dangerous precedent and opens the door to extreme laws designed to strip away life-saving care from those in need. It also makes clear that too many members of Congress are willing to support such measures because trans youth are viewed as nothing more than political pawns.

Healthcare for trans youth has been at the center of many political attacks this year. Families across the country have been forced to live in a state of constant fear and uncertainty, unsure whether the care sustaining their children’s lives will become inaccessible, restricted, or banned without warning. As HR 3492 moves forward, it heightens this sense of fear and instability in an already vulnerable community.

We denounce HR 3492 for what it is—a declaration of discrimination, an explicit intent to harm, and a troubling signal of what lies ahead. As we look to 2026, we know the fight will be even more aggressive, calculated, and cruel. We’re outraged that survival must be our focus in the new year, but we’re prepared to return to the fight even stronger.

To our community and all those impacted, we want to reassure you that we’re doing everything in our power to fight this. TFSS is working tirelessly alongside advocacy leaders and our national partners to ensure our community is cared for in the face of violence. We’re engaging in legislative advocacy, supporting nationwide movements to strengthen protections, seeking affirming providers and clinics offering care, and hosting town halls so families know they’re not alone. 

When our government and elected leaders blatantly target our rights, we will continue to fight their hate. We will continue to remind them that our lives are not up for debate. We will continue to hold their cruelty accountable—and we will continue to hold our community close. 

We’re not going anywhere. We’re not backing down. We’re here for you—always.
