Action Alert

Please call your Representative

We are asking you to call your US House of Representative’s Washington, DC office about HR 3887.

HR 3887 is the Children’s Hospital GME Support Reauthorization Act and is sponsored by Rep. Dan Crenshaw.

Rep. Crenshaw is the badass who adeptly questioned Secretary Becera, Dr. Meredithe McNamara, and Dr. Miriam Grossman. Clips from that hearing did make the rounds on Twitter (X).

The proposed bill would eliminate all funding for the education and training for medical residents and fellows in children’s hospitals that provide “gender affirming care.” The bill has exceptions for hospitals providing care for differences of sexual development (DSDs), mental health care, and detransion care.

You can watch the Energy and Commerce Health Subcommittee hearing on this bill. The testimony starts at 34:55 with Dr. McNamara and Dr. Grossman. Q&A starts at 1:03:36, with Rep. Crenshaw starting at 2:42:22.

You can find your representative here.

1. Call your representative’s office. Ask to speak to the staff member responsible for healthcare policy. If they are unavailable you may still proceed with the staff member who answers the phone.

2. Ask that your representative co-sponsor HR 3887 or thank them if they are already one of the 32 co-sponsors sponsoring the bill.

3. Request that HR 3887 be brought to the US House floor for debate and a VOTE!

4. Share a few sentences about why you are opposed to pediatric “gender affirming care.” If you are a parent, a Detransitioner, or an LGBT adult, share a little bit of your story. Keep it brief.

5. Thank the office staff for their time.
