Citizen Petition from Lauren H. Schwartz, et al.

The commenter supports the use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for gender dysphoria, citing research that shows significant improvements in mental health outcomes for transgender adults. They argue that HRT is a useful treatment and that the risks of suicide are more closely linked to social non-acceptance than to the hormone therapy itself.

The commenter is a family member and community member sharing personal and anecdotal experiences regarding the challenges and health issues faced by children undergoing hormone treatments. Rather than taking a specific policy position on the petition, the commenter expresses a desire to create a support platform for families and individuals in this situation.

Emily, an individual, opposes the creation of a registry for transgender people, arguing that it is harmful, cruel, and unnecessary. She characterizes the proposal as discriminatory and compares it to historical persecution.

The commenter supports the petition by arguing that transgender people deserve to be treated as people and that the government should stop wasting resources on actions that harm them. The commenter expresses frustration with the government's involvement in private medical matters and the state of the healthcare system.
