Groups advocating for stricter gun control laws are now suggesting that giving children access to cross-sex hormones and transgender surgeries will help reduce firearm violence. In an amicus brief filed with the Supreme Court for United States v. Skrmetti, organizations such as Giffords, the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, Team Enough, and March For Our Lives Action argued that laws preventing minors from accessing these procedures contribute to a “climate of hostility” and put transgender individuals at a higher risk for suicide using a firearm.
The groups believe that access to gender affirming care is not only a medical necessity for transgender youth, but also a crucial component in the fight against gun violence. They argue that denying access to these treatments perpetuates the false perception that transgender individuals are a threat to society. This, in turn, increases the visibility and vulnerability of the transgender community, creating a “perfect storm” for violence.
According to Yvin Shin, a Judicial Associate at March For Our Lives, the organization will continue to fight until transgender youth can live safe and authentic lives in a world free from gun violence. This statement highlights the belief that access to gender affirming care is crucial for the safety and wellbeing of transgender individuals.
However, a recent report conducted in England by Dr. Hilary Cass found weak evidence for offering puberty blockers to children. The report also stated that there was no clear evidence that social transitions have any impact on mental health outcomes for children. These findings challenge the belief that gender affirming treatments are necessary for the wellbeing of transgender youth.
The report found that most studies claiming these treatments reduce suicide risk had major methodological problems and may pressure families to seek out these treatments. This raises concerns about the validity of the widespread claim that gender affirming care reduces suicide risk.

The tragic shooting at a private Christian school in Nashville, Tennessee in March 2023, committed by Audrey Hale, a transgender individual, shouldn’t be used to justify subjecting kids to irreversible and dangerous gender swapping “treatments”.
This whole thing makes me question the “trans agenda” real motives and their connection to the gun-grabbing movement.
