Pledge to support trans rights

Transgender people are valued members of our community who deserve inclusion, care, and celebration. But trans people – especially trans youth – are facing an unprecedented, all-out attack on their most basic rights from politicians across the country, including here in Vermont. We must send a clear message to our community leaders, neighbors, family, and friends that transgender rights are human rights, and they are not up for debate.

Trans people belong, and they deserve the opportunity to dream about their futures and live as their authentic selves. But in 2023 alone, over 450 anti-LGBTQ+ bills were introduced in legislatures across the country. These attacks range from book bans to the criminalization of essential health care services.

It's on all of us to condemn these dangerous and bigoted attacks and affirm that the rights, dignity, and humanity of trans people are not up for debate. In signing this pledge, I commit to support transgender youth and their families as valued members of our community – and I urge others to do the same.

We should all be free to lead lives with dignity and respect. I support the rights of trans people in our communities to live freely, joyfully, and authentically.
