Transgender youth in the United States have been flooding crisis hotlines since the election of Donald Trump, who made anti-transgender themes central to his campaign. Many teens worry about how their lives could change once he takes office.
During his presidential bid, Trump pledged to impose wide-ranging restrictions and roll back civil rights protections for transgender students. And his administration can swiftly start work on one major change: It can exclude transgender students from Title IX protections, which affect school policies on students’ use of pronouns, bathrooms and locker rooms.
One ad that aired over 15,000 times crystallized Trump’s stance on rights for transgender and nonbinary Americans: “Kamala is for they/them. President Trump is for you.”
For one Alabama teen, the ad seemed to paint transgender and nonbinary people as a threat to society. The weekend before Election Day, the 16-year-old teen, who identifies as nonbinary and uses the pronouns “he” and “they,” called a crisis hotline at the Rainbow Youth Project. The group that serves LGBTQ+ young people has received more than 5,500 calls to its crisis hotline in the past 10 days, up from the 3,700 calls it typically gets every month.
The teen was in despair and struggling with suicidal thoughts, according to his mother, Carolyn Fisher. She said she hadn’t realized the depth of her child’s depression and how painful it was for him to see political ads that felt like a personal attack.
With the help of crisis counselors, Fisher said her teen has begun feeling better. But bullying at school has gotten worse, with some students telling her child Trump is going to make him “go back in the closet,” Fisher said.
”The kids who have taunted him are now proud of themselves, and they rub it in,” she said.

Protections like steamrolling girls in field hockey?
Maybe it’s time to give up the perverted self-indulgence and rejoin reality.
The group which has shown a high penchant for mass murdering children wants “protections?”
“During his presidential bid, Trump pledged to impose wide-ranging restrictions and roll back civil rights protections for transgender students.“
This is an evil lie meant to push people to suicide.
There are few things sicker than this.
Bullying, which is what this is should be prosecuted. It has successfully in the past.
It’s rolling back protections if mentally ill boys can’t shower with the girls, can’t play on girls’ and women’s sports teams, and can’t get themselves surgically mutilated at public expense?
Go back in your closets and lock the door! I’m tired of everyone parading their perversity!
We have a bill of rights. It applies equally to every one of us. No one group needs any alternative rights.
They can dress any way they want, but don’t get the kids involved, and don’t force any stupid pronouns on anyone.
You do when you are bending the natural laws of mankind.
“Protections.” The media gaslighting isn’t stopping with the election. If this story was honest, it would say that “transgender” students (most of whom are just psychologically screwed up) aren’t in any danger. There are plenty of laws on the books if someone tries to physically harm them or threaten them. What they won’t be able to do is use girls’ restrooms, change in girls’ locker rooms and play on girls’ sports teams. That is not a reason to call the suicide hotline. Get over yourself and get on with life.
The trannies don’t need a “crisis hotline” as much as they need long-term residential mental facilities. On the “crisis hotline” mainly they will talk to similarly disturbed individuals who will support their insanity. That is the opposite of helping them.

Those who suffer from Gender Dysphoria who cannot function in schools, should have separate means of learning while they’re getting treatment for their condition, instead of getting special “protections” in the schools.
An entire generation of “lost boys”. Very sad.
Was out one day and walked by a TV with some sorts of sports channel running.
On comes a President Trump ad showing the weirdos the Democrats have/had in power - the cross-dressing “health” guy, the fired-luggage-stealing guy, etc.
It was AWESOME. They “went there”
Trannies suck.
So sick of this twisted micro-minority screwing everything up for normal people.
Yes..
Go back in the f-ing closet, or just get some psychiatric help.
I'll bet we could keep going and make quite a list.
