ANTI-TRANS LEGISLATION
Several anti-trans bills have passed and, therefore, become law in Mississippi. This DOES NOT mean that we should not continue to reach out to and educate our legislators (and others). Keep pushing back! Stand up, speak up, help PUSH BACK on anti-trans laws / policy, help PUSH FORWARD laws / policy that serve to IMPROVE TRANS LIVES. Detailed and easy to understand educational materials, pertaining to said laws, are soon to be published. Please keep up with us!
We are always looking for resources and opportunities. We are always looking to provide education and increase visibility of transgender and gender non-conforming people. Help us help you and others! Share with us and partner with us!

Gender Affirming Care is Restricted for Youth, in MS.
In February of 2023, Governor Reeves signed HB1125 and it became law, restricting access to gender-affirming healthcare for transgender youth. Hormone blockers, hormone replacement therapy and gender-affirming surgery are not legal courses for gender transition of youth, in Mississippi. We are here to support trans youth and their families. Please reach out to us!
