“Gender-affirming care is lifesaving care. It's so important for young trans people to have access to competent and supportive care that uplifts their identity. It says 'I see you, and you deserve a full, happy life being who you are. You belong here'."

Ohio HB 454 would BAN vital gender-affirming care for trans and non-binary youth.
Kaleidoscope Youth Center stands for the humanity, dignity, and belonging of each and every young person in Ohio; and we are committed to interrupting that which causes harm. We are adamantly opposed to HB 454, which is egregiously bad legislation and a direct perpetuation of discrimination and harm.

"Ohio's youth, young adults, and their families deserve more. They deserve better from the adults and leaders put into positions of power in interest of supporting and protecting their inalienable rights. Legislation and policies such as HB 454 do nothing to protect any child or young person; instead, only further marginalize. This is bullying behavior."
