Transgender youth increase calls to crisis hotlines following Trump's election

wcvb.com

Transgender youth in the U.S. have increased calls to crisis hotlines since Donald Trump's election, with one group reporting over 5,500 calls in just ten days. This is a significant rise from their usual monthly average of 3,700 calls. Many teens express fear about potential changes to their rights under a Trump administration, particularly regarding Title IX protections. Trump's campaign focused on anti-transgender themes, leading to heightened anxiety and bullying among transgender youth. Advocates are responding by expanding support services for LGBTQ+ youth. Organizations like the Rainbow Youth Project are increasing virtual peer groups to help young people connect during this uncertain time.
