North Carolina Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper has vetoed a trio of bills aimed at LGBTQ+ youth that would restrict gender-affirming health care and sports participation for transgender minors and limit classroom instruction about gender identity and sexuality.
“North Carolina Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper vetoed Wednesday a trio of bills aimed at LGBTQ+ youth that would ban gender-affirming health care for minors, restrict transgender participation in school sports and limit classroom instruction about gender identity and sexuality.”
I believe all transgender people make up about 0.7% of the population. That’s about 110,000. If 25% are minors, that’s around 27,000 people per year banned from getting the help they need.
40% end up commiting suicide as it is…
They know the suicide rate for transgender children is high. They’re fine with that. They want children to die. So pro-life of them.
I think your numbers are a little off. According to the Williams Institute trans people actually only make up about .5% of US citizens, and 18% of trans people are aged 13-17. The US population is around 338,000,000. Multiply that by .5% and you get 1,690,000 trans people in the US. 18% of 1,690,000 comes to 30,420 trans children between 13-17.

For sure. I just guessed at 25%.
What do you think it would be for North Carolina?
