PROVINCETOWN – The Provincetown Board of Health recently adopted a new resolution showing support for transgender children in the community.
The resolution states that the town’s health board will unequivocally oppose “anti-transgender and anti-child” legislation related to medical care of transgender children or the criminalization of gender-care.
The resolution also says the town will oppose anti-transgender legislation related to transgender children participating in youth sports.
“All persons, including children and adolescents who are diverse in their sexuality and gender identities, expression, and /or presentation, have the inherent human right to equal opportunity and a physically and psychologically safe environment,” the board said in a statement.
The statement adds that the town urges all states to protect and nourish all children equally.
