Coordinated with 27 law enforcement agencies across the nation

In rural Oklahoma, we aren’t always involved in abstract policy debates, even the ones that directly impact us. Decisions made in Washington show up fast, and they show up close to home. When access to health care weakens, that harms patients, families, caregivers, and entire communities.

The Ethics of Gender Affirmation

The ongoing conversation around gender dysphoria and “gender-affirming care” is deeply concerning, to say the least. Gender dysphoria is defined as a perceived misalignment between one’s biological sex and how they identify. Gender dysphoria has been linked to delusion and psychosis.
