   As noted in the article, the Campaign for Southern Equality has launched the Southern Trans Youth Emergency Project to help trans youth affected by state bans. There are links on this page where you can get support in each state with a ban as well as other states, and there's a directory of providers who do provide the services that are still legal in the affected states.

   You are not alone. 2/2

     We've seen these laws blocked by some federal and state courts, but now the Sixth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has lifted the injunction against the ban on transgender kids getting appropriate care. The same panel recently lifted Tennessee's injunction. Pediatricians in states where bans have been enacted are afraid of treating trans kids at all, and "the climate of fear and confusion" is keeping kids kids from getting even mental health services.
