I firmly believe in the right of every individual, regardless of gender identity, to live their lives with dignity, privacy, and freedom. Defending the rights of transgender individuals, particularly trans youth, is essential to ensuring that everyone can access the healthcare they need without fear of discrimination or governmental intrusion.

Central to my commitment to trans rights is the protection of the relationship between transgender individuals and their healthcare providers. Decisions about medical care should be made privately between patients and their doctors, free from political interference. This is especially critical for trans youth, who deserve to have their healthcare decisions guided by medical professionals and supported by their families—not dictated by politicians.

I will fight against legislation that seeks to undermine the privacy and autonomy of transgender people, particularly in their healthcare choices. I will also advocate for stronger legal protections to ensure that trans individuals have equal access to healthcare, employment, housing, and education. Everyone deserves the right to live authentically and safely, and that includes respecting the confidentiality and integrity of the doctor-patient relationship.
