ASPS lets cis teens get nose jobs & chest reductions with parental consent, but tells trans teens to wait until 19, echoing the administration’s politics. Same surgeries, different rules. A political double standard that discriminates against trans youth. RFA’s statement here: tinyurl.com/39mtfbb2

Turns out the Appleby report was a complete lie. goodlawproject.org/new-data-sho...

Thank you, Supervisor Connie Chan, for defending gender‑affirming care and standing up to harmful federal attacks. And thank you to our partners for helping to keep SF a sanctuary for ALL trans youth, families, and providers. RFA statement: www.rainbowfamiliesaction.org/news/sf-boar...

We are grateful to see AG Bonta take action after Rady Children’s ended gender‑affirming care. His lawsuit affirms that trans youth deserve safety, dignity, and equal care. This step offers real hope for trans youth and their families. www.rainbowfamiliesaction.org/news/dear-at...

These are our kids. Families are grateful to the doctors who help our children survive and thrive. But political threats are scaring hospitals into ending care—even where it’s legal. Our kids deserve the same care as their peers. We’re fighting back. Raise your voice!

CHOC/Rady’s has capitulated to federal funding threats and is terminating their gender affirming care program as of 2/6. Rady’s has suggested they don’t have a choice - we disagree. We are asking CHOC/Rady’s to be brave and stand with us. Visit bit.ly/radysopenletter to sign on to the open letter.

A coordinated political attack on trans youth is causing real harm. This week, Rady Children’s Hospital announced it will end gender-affirming care for minors—pre-complying instead of protecting patients. This is unacceptable. In California, this care is legal. #PatientsBeforePolitics

1. In a major victory, Democrats have managed to get all anti-trans riders stripped from the final appropriations bills. This includes HHS and Ed, which had the worst provisions in congressional history. If it passes, it will be a big win for 2026. Subscribe to support our journalism.

What began as connection became action: families sharing information, building power, and defending access to medically necessary care for trans youth. Thanks to Assigned Media and Evan Urquhart for your honest reporting of RFA! www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

As the Supreme Court considers bans on trans athletes, voices from trans youth remind us why sports matter. For kids, sports mean joy, belonging, confidence, and refuge. Read Sam Levin’s piece in @theguardian.com here: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... #lettranskidsplay 🏳️‍⚧️

Today SCOTUS hears cases threatening trans girls’ right to play sports and all girls’ privacy. Sports help kids build confidence, teamwork, and belonging. These bans harm all children and risk broader protections for trans people beyond sports. Read RFA’s Statement here: tinyurl.com/2635afx7
