Script:
Hi, my name is [your name] and I'm a constituent calling from [your city/town]. I'm calling to ask Assemblymember [their name] to support legislation protecting access to transgender healthcare.
The transgender community deserves access to compassionate, medically necessary care — just like everyone else. Restricting this care causes real harm to real people: to trans youth who are already navigating so much, to adults who rely on these treatments for their quality of life and mental health, and to families who simply want their loved ones to be healthy and supported. I'm asking Assemblymember [their name] to stand on the right side of this issue and actively support policies that protect, not limit, trans healthcare access in our state. I want my representative to know that this community is watching, and we need elected officials who will protect vulnerable people — not put them at greater risk.
